is this quest to define what we (well, a lot of us)
seem to be looking for - a way of describing the music we make - important
to us for our own self-identity, or merely as a way of marketing what we do
to others?


mike.....self-identity, i dont know about, the music sort of speaks to that
issue.....as a marketing tool is where my interest lies.....the most comments
i get on my stuff is as you said, a form of soundtrack.....ive been callin my
stuff "simple music" for a good while, that sums it up for me but leaves the
other a bit confused.....right now this is a very real issue to me in that i
would love to start playing "out" (good GOD!).....and i will have to talk
about my music in terms that will make it sound inviting, and i have no idea
as to how to do this.....:).....my music is "sonic wallpaper"-it wont make
you nervous all the time-you can talk and carry on and i will be a background
source of rythem and at times melody-if ya want to listen ya can and you will
be not only entertained but amazed-its a boy and his boxes-i love sound and i
love to mess with it-i play jazz-folk-rock-ethnic-hip-hop-records-samples-i
am a looper-yes you must pay me-everything is heavy and hard to carry-HERE IS
A CD OF MY MUSIC, is this the ticket?.....i have really enjoyed this thread
and i find it very in.....michael
