Everything popular is wrong: Making it in electronic music, despite democratization

citat iz onog ?lanka sa po?etka:



"Did that depress you? Now, here comes the good news: (...) Since nothing promises secure success anymore, all considerations to what ?works in the marketplace? can be freely dumped and forgotten. The more out there you get, the better. It?s the only way to stand out in a totally dull environment. The advantage is, put cynically, that the old channels are jammed. Whoever tries to break through them following ?proven? old ways (which usually means emulating other people?s career paths) is wasting time and energy. (...) The channels that do work are found elsewhere and are open to those who possess endurance, individuality and substance ? the values that are disappearing most rapidly now."

"Art always had to be great (whatever that is) and move people in order to succeed, too ( ... ) ?Unique? is the most valuable word in a crowded environment of generic ideas and overwhelming redundancy. "

Sve je jo? isto kao i prije, novo doba tra?i nove ideje. Nisu ljudi niti prije stvarali karijere samo tako, bez dobrih ideja i snala?ljivosti. I njima su njihove prepreke bile nepoznate. Svi koje mi danas pamtimo su bili kreativni i orginalni pojedinci, a ne ljudi koji googlaju odgovore koje tek treba prona?i. Oni su ih na?li, nisu ih dobili.
