So I know a guy, through a friend, that makes some pretty damned good music.
In the age of collapsed advertising structures and mostly free information, it can be really difficult to find music that you like because there is just so much stuff.
With this increased freedom I assume it's become more difficult for the creators to cash in on their craft, despite the enormous potential listener base. There will always be super megastars (enter current pop idol here) but I assume the availability of great quality, free music has made the middling artist a thing of the past. The group that scrapes by on a few album sales, a few tours and a little bit of luck are probably working normal day jobs at this point right?
This isn't due to quality. If there's a net positive for humanity in the democratisation of tools and knowledge, it's that the 'average' person is now capable of producing some exceptional work. This goes for books, music, painting, comics, even documentaries and films.
So now that we can all, within reason, produce high quality stuff - who gets to choose what makes it big? Luck? Or boning the right producer?
Who is to say.
Anyway, here is the music.
