I think that the key to successful music production is to look at it as a war rather than a battle. In a battle everything happens at once, all of your chips thrown down at once so to speak.
In a war however, The smallest intricacies given the recurrence of time become large monumental things. It is quintessential to become a skilled planner, disorganization is unacceptable.
The interesting thing is that you must be against your self, your worst self. The lazy side of you that wants short term emotional gratifications. The part that says "Just do it tomorrow," the problem with this is that waiting for tomorrow is an unreliable platform to base a life on if it has difficult aspirations and dreams.

I like your stuff, intelligently furious indeed... but don't battles make up wars? Battles involve tactics & are single event. Wars are overall conflicts spanning a certain time frame (from a couple of years to decades)& may consist of several battles fought. For example: The Battle of Gettysburg is a part of the American Civil War... source: I have a social science degree & sorry, I don't mean to intrude..
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, I've been furiously unintelligent in my use of metaphor or conveyance of thought. To put it simply, I was trying to hint at how battles are like playing music in the moment, recording live in the studio. It's in the moment so to speak. While looking at the overall process is strategically set, similar to a General's war room. Looking at the little things, making sure the frequencies are clean and the mix isn't muddy, etc..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment though! -IF
