superior to what the incredible magnitude of his works have already occurred. It would be, at most like with Paul McCartney purely friendly meeting.
Speaking of black music do you think it is going in the right direction? both from the point of view of the quality, and of the message it carries. There is tendency that seem to prove that the global black diaspora has been formatted by that we see on TV don’t you think that for example, if black peoples are increasingly perceived as criminal’s men and women of little faith, black music has greatly contributed to it? who should we blame the media that broadcast what they receive, the producers for supporting such projects, or the public that consumes downstream what it receives?
So many questions in one paragraph lead me to suggest you a little more reserve in your affirmations. I do not see a single comprehensive direction of black music in general. There are as many as territories, languages, peoples, and therefore destinies. If a certain desperation has set in, following disillusionment movements of emancipation, and that some harshly confronted by the political and geopolitical realities of all kinds, undergo a certain radicalization in the lazy method, aggressiveness and even vulgarity, it's possible. But I rather not make it a permanent trend nor a generality
The journalist is also the transmission belt of interrogations of the populace, nothing personal … but bluntly put many are indexing the influence of the most popular trends like Hip Hop ... Now talking about technology and music. Before the focus was to have good musicians in the studio who made their living by playing tracks in the composition of musical projects. Today the coming of “electronic engineers” who have no musical training but make millions of dollars has changed things. The studio musician is an endangered species. In your case what do you prefer the composition with computers or musicians that bring more life in projects warm thinking in spite of cold calculus of machines?
The electronic musician that I am; will make you a known response known as Norman answer: yes, and no. Everything will depend on what audience ears, now accustomed to the cold perfection that machines "may" produce, decide to accept or reject, any notion of "human" imperfection. Judging by some few facts, as the return (relative but lasting) of the vinyl, the craze for mp3 (quality degraded in comparison to the CD), the success of live concerts (where imperfection, even computerized, reigns), although it is hoped that in the presence of algorithms that can replace authors, composers and interpreters, humans will be, for a long time, eager to deal with humans when it comes to culture. But it will be pretentious to say where, when, and how. how and how much the easiness, convenience and above all money, eventually will impose on you all the acceptability of rampant universal automation. No sector will be spared ...
Your pedigree can allow us to ask the question what is success? what is the best way to achieve it?
I usually define it, as the intersection of two curves: the aesthetic trajectory of the artist and the public tastes. There is, it seems, a jackpot, when the two meet. I say "apparently" because the hardest is yet to come: how to make it sustainable? For that matter, like to know the best way to achieve this, one answer: the diversity of cases, trajectories and
