Hi,
Our tastes vary. Some of you, although you are very good, your music just plain bores me do death - there's just no life or wow in it for me although you play extremely well. Every verse sounds just like the previous one... As you know, I like for wow things to happen in music & in my case, I let the arranger do it for me. And I always build every song up slowly towards a climax. No repetition verses if I can help it.
But then hey, I don't play in an relaxed environment where a audience sits around casually sipping on a martini or something or have a quiet meal whilst we play... Neither do we play for folks who are not far from going to sleep on a permanent basis. I can NEVER operate in that environment - I'll scare them to death before due date!
In the case of my new style demos, the idea is to let you hear the style, not impress you with my skills as a musician (which I NEVER said I was to begin with) But I do have in in me to use whatever is on-board the Audya to add some new, very realistic stuff to it. I always wonder by myself where all you "SUPER professionals" are whenever I'm creating all of this stuff...
Say what, me & Monica will do a recording soon using one of my new styles & I'll post over here. Then we take it from there. We receive our share of compliments too after our "performances".
To end my reply, the opinion some of you have of yourselves as "super" musicians makes me wonder why you are not out performing with the likes of Elton John, Madonna, VanGelis or the rest of them. They do not just esteem themselves as being super talented, they live the lives to prove it. And none of them perform at the venues most of you do...
Cheers,
Henni
