THE FUTURE OF MUSIC

[@rbiznezz2]

Man… I love this channel!!

[@dennismason3740]

I just tuned the bathroom radio station from pop rock (KCRW) to jazz (KJZZ) and they were basically both playing what might have as well been the same song. Fake angst, fake drama, a million chord changes, like eating red paint because you like the color. It's that kind of modern music that basically pulls from maybe 5 song structures, all musicians anonymous and interchangeable. The Musicians's Union acknowledges that there is a spectrum of mediocrity that approaches WMD level banality and they treat it like the DarkWeb. If you're not picking up what I'm laying down L.A. radio does enable unnamable horrors to fill the airwaves...SOMETIMES. Sometimes I turn the dial and every station on the left is being brilliant. Before the Twin Terrors of Song experience KCRW was playing what I assume to be a new Chrissie Hynde record and I was split in half - the song is really good, good enough to go on the Pretender's first record. Here is why I am typing in the middle of a 101 fever: Chrissie's new song does NOT sound like a band. It sounds like a dozen different bits - drums, guitars, keys, shakers, tambourine, bass, vocal doubling - every single part is separate from every other part. I was horrified and I also knew that it's a good song. I am not making this up. Listen to The Pretenders (46 minutes) then listen to Chrissie's latest - Band, no band. Band, or no band. I am one of thirteen humans on Earth who is doing his damndest to articulate this nightmare of audio genocide where EVERY BIT is recorded separately and sounds like it. Y'see, kids, there was a band called the Beatles who stepped into George's Palace and the Lads did play songs, because the Beatles were a "band". A band is when 2 or more humans get together and make music. Critters as well. I saw them playing banjos in the forest.

The future of music is, as it has ever been, in the hands of briljant musicians. They’re there, as many as ever, why should there be less, but you don’t know them, because you’re looking in the wrong direction, or maybe because your lenses are blurred. Some of them collaborate, some don’t. You have a fixation on _how_ music is made/published/promoted, which is of little importance. A certain percentage of real talent will emerge automatically, they’re the lucky ones. They will meet the people they need, if any. The primary goal of the vast majority of musicians should be to have some fun with music, and realize that the attention or appreciation of other people is a bonus. If you can make a living from your musical activities, that’s fine, if you don’t, look for another job, but most important: don’t torture yourself for years and years with the delusion that music is the only thing you’re made for.

Brilliant advice, Andy. Hope every budding artist takes the time to listen and learn. If you help even one musician through this video you will have changed the world for the better.

[@aminahmed2220]

Awesome video Andy have a great day

[@JamesWilson-ek7ko]

Wherever you are, be somewhere else!

[@herbharcourt1007]

I never have been a Musician as a profession...just a 70 yr old listener or a supporter of the music I love. I found out that most music is a here today gone tomorrow and is forever changing. So I can listen to what ever I want to that moves me weather it is from the 1950's to today. If I find nothing I care to listen to well I enjoyed the party.

[@SuperStrik9]

Saw a recent video on making a song using AI and it was frightening what the computer/AI could do. I really hope that isn't the future of music.

[@daveybeeeee]

Wonderful! Thank you ! Always entertaining. I think you could make a video about how to watch paint dry and it would be interesting! 😃

[@daicullinane7746]

So Andy, you're suggesting we "stop, collaborate and listen."

[@masudashizue777]

I, too, was terrified of going bankrupt, considering my spending habits. After all, your spending habits are difficult to change regardless of your financial situation. But now, at the age of 70, I am seeing the light. At least, I don't have the burden of being alive another half a century, and when you consider that, I am not so horribly destitute.

[@kdakan]

This topic has been explored at least on 1000 other videos on youtube, cold call, phase 1, 2, 3 fannels, seeling mechandise and collaboration, it doesn't work for 99% of people who try. I honestly don't have any interest in listenin to youtubers' original music or paying them. The problem is not lack of promotion, even the labels don't promote artists anymore. The problem is surplus quantity of new uploaded music of lesser quality. The only solution to this problem is to work hard on creating better quality music and not releasing everything, let the majority of people pushing music for money fall in despair and there will be an equilibrium at some moment.

[@Primus-ue4th]

I started to think that people under 30 that have been raised around absolute shitttt music. They might be first generation in awhile that just don’t care for music. They think it’s just not that important. They also know there’s no money in it to be a musician anymore. I may be over exaggerating and I don’t even know if what I am saying is the truth. But, if I was a kid that grew up with music that didn’t celebrate instrumentals, I wouldn’t consider any involvement in music.

[@riffmondo9733]

How create about multiple monikers on social media and play all the styles you are interested in and release them all? Just a thought. I love your channel and wish you the best of luck brother.

[@guitarlaurence]

Would love to come down to 'Bearmingum' for a jazz fusion shred one of these days.

[@StoneyGround-zs8oh]

Thanks very much for the pants mate 😘

[@arzabael]

With all of the backlash coming out for anything Ai I think autotune and digital music will at least have a solid contender in the form of the camp of people who want all analog even more than before now that any computer processing is considered Ai, and there will be a solid group of artists and bands offering “real music” and folk and country will become even bigger at that time

[@jasonanthonywilper]

The future of music is all electronic and autotune robot voice cacophony with melodies that let nursery rhymes sound like symphonies comparatively.

[@davidstair9657]

The future of music is one word: Gentle Giant

[@richardthurston2171]

Hmmm. I count two words.

[@davidstair9657]

@ ah shit. I have no other ideas. The future of music will probably be pretty young girls singing songs about love and broken hearts.

[@rocketshiptoaltair]

@@richardthurston2171 So is 'Coal Aberration' but didn't stop Andy ;)

[@Finnegeas]

Bardcore is the future 🪈

[@Carboggg]

I think proper pop/rock music will be made for generations to come. There's always going to be teens who love the challenge of learning to play an instrument and get a lot of pleasure playing them. Love the challenge of writing songs and the pleasure of singing their songs. That said, pop music won't be as big a part of people's lives as it was for past generations. It will for some but they'll be a relatively small minority of hardcore music fans, rather than the great mass of the public from previous generations. Pop music simply won't ever be as important again as it was when Elvis, The Beatles and Stones broke through. Same with movies. They'll still be made but the golden days of Hollywood are well and truly over now.

[@kylec2761]

People still play Dixieland every night in New Orleans. It's fun but it's not alive.

[@ESP77769]

That is sad. As much as I thought the internet would help music, art, and film, it also destroyed. it ALL. :-(

[@numberonedad]

@@kylec2761 i think you guys are talking about much deeper issues that have to do with the demise of mass culture rather than music in particular

[@Carboggg]

@@kylec2761 But Dixieland was never a mass appeal genre across the world like rock/pop has been for decades.

[@Carboggg]

@@ESP77769 Sad in a way, but life moves on so nothing lasts forever.

[@peterpeper4837]

You managed to surpass yourself with those clickbaits

[@Michel-r6m]

The future of music for me will be more Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream (Zeit 👍) as also the new David Gilmour album I like. Maybe give Jazz from Hell another try (and I am a FZ fanboy 😅).

[@justicelovingskunk9910]

TikTok is good for collaboration and community.

[@alexgowland]

Ha ha yes I am here.

[@richierugs6544]

the end of music played by humans

[@GriezelOnderdentafel]

That would be terrible. Never liked collabs in the past, always takes down the both artists. There are some exeptions. And the live experience? Thats a huge part of music to me. Maybe its just me, ik worked with bands, the way they function as a group with likes and dislikes is part of the creativity i think. Music already has no humanity to it present day, this is going to make it worse. Good music comes from a place of chaos to my opinion.

[@numberonedad]

haha the present of music is collaboration, kitchen sink, and it stinks

[@milenakorovljev4209]

The music is over. It's time to pay the piper. And the price is very steep. Like it or not, the music you are hearing these days are just the echoes of failing human spirit, hurling into repetition of days gone, wrongfully understood, and mistakenly regurgitated. As the human spirit sinks into mediocrity and ignorance, there is less of inspiration and ability needed to create art. All is left, is angry, dry, emotionless drivel masquerading as "music". That trend expanded further : ugly architecture, canvases with randomly splashed colours so called, avant-garde paintings, tattoos on people's faces, nasty attitudes, rudeness, in one word, sheer STUPODITY ! You can have it. As a former musician of 60 years, I'm out. " Musicians never die. It's the music in them that perish."

[@rosscoepcoltrane36]

Posting too much useless content isn't a good thing. Goodbye☣

[@TheCuckingFunt]

Music died in 1983 so..............The smart people are in charge now! Enjoy!

[@rocketshiptoaltair]

Yeah. Soon as Ultravox did Vienna it was game over ;)

[@TheCuckingFunt]

Okay it was written in 1902 and there were only 500,000 homeless! I stand corrected.
