An Artist

After reading few topics around here, I would like to paste here some collected thoughts about artists and the music creation. Just a food for brain or an useless spam, thanks for reading:

Artist: One who translates a part of his spirit onto a physical medium

An artist's work may affect others emotions/thoughts, but this is secondary. Art does not have to stir ones emotion/thought to be defined as art.
That said, it is impossible to be unaffected by ANY creation that reaches your senses.
Finally, rarely is a piece of art fully experienced by anyone other than the original artist. The reciever of a creation needs to be understanding, absorbing and accepting to very high levels to get anywhere near this.

Music creation will unlock your essence for others to experience

Artist, power, opening the door to my world, letting you in, raising the blinds, beckoning you to peek inside.
Snapshots of feeling, 'love' or 'fear' are where the feelings begin, the melody can take you much further than the word.
Commercialism, money, material, resist this, preserve your spirit, what comes from an artist is true, humble, what comes from a seller is not pure, tainted by corporation

Music creation comes from the spirit, the body will channel it, this is an artist.

What is said below about the 'artist' is very general. For simplicities sake, we will expand on it only slightly by splitting 'Artist' into three types (this only covers a portion of the bigger picture):

Pure artist is our favourite, but also very rare. They are usually very selfless and sacrifice alot to preserve themselves. They are interested in discovering and understanding more about their own spirit.
Role-Playing Artist is interesting, and lots of fun. These type put themselves into another characters shoes, or 'become the character' much like an actor/actress would. So the music contains character(s) of which the artist lets take over their mind and heart.
False Artist is our least favourite, but very common. They are by no means evil, but go against our values! It all begins when music forms genres - when this has happened, false artists gravitate and stick to them like glue in the hope of better recognition and even worse, in the hope of money.

*by Peter & Andy (ICO)

I know where I'm located, so what choise the others took, anyone who considers himself as an artist may he try to think deeper about that.

Peace

I agree with ND's opinion. But I would like to say it in my words + more...

The Giver

Artist is the giver. He creates by who he is, by his emotions, personal experiences and his character.
I'm talking about artist that is original. The one who creates by who he is. Artist that knows the difference between inspiration and copycatting.


Pure artist is the one who brings new and unexplored area of sound. Nothing conventional but original. He may have only few followers but he will never compromise on the way, and will never fall in the money trap. In most cases he can feel sympathy and appreciation from a small amount of ppl. But he will continue his way with a smile on his face. He is a man who has principles and forever be proud!
this kind of artist is rare.



The Receiver

Listener: the one who understands artist's music. Understanding is the key for loving the sound and the ideas of the music. But we see things as we are and not as they are. I mean, the giver is aiming to x mode in his creation. The listener may love + understand it in Y mode. The most important thing is to feel it. And there are many ways to feel the same track.

Listener #1
He has taste but he will try many kinds of music untill he sets his mind. He will dance/listen to music that he feels connected with. He needs to know the man behind the music. He cares, he is interested in 'behind the scenes'. He will be one with the music, And when he finds music that is wrong, with bad energies, he will avoid it. Just like the pure artist he has principles and self respect. Music is a part of his way of life.

Listener # 2
He doesn't give a rat's ass about anything, only about 4/4 psy beat and will dance/listen to anything. He can be influenced easily. He doesn't care or knows who created the music that he love. He just needs to have a good time. He isn't serious. Music is just Entertainment to him.



No negativity in any of the listener's kinds here. It's just the way I see it. I know that not everything is black or white.
There are grey zones.

Beautiful wise words...all of it, but these in specific are some that many artists in our scene should take with 'm in their heart, being an absolute sell-out, turing into commercial prostitutes, rockstars and everything else that is against the original manifestations of the true creative force and the basic ideologies of psytrance and it's culture. Respect to ya bro for posting these wise and inspiring words.....hats off !

absolutely, that is what makes some art great in my eyes, when i get something completely different from it that someone else; or even better, when i get different things from it every time           Load Universe into Cannon. Aim at Brain. Fire.

I agree to what ND said..wise words,,thnxx

An artist or a mind in a thin line between sanity and insanity, is the one that seeks alternate ways to communicate with the spirit that hides inside. When the feelings or fears conquer his/her mind and the only solution out of this is music. Thats ofcourse is when the artist is still pure. But the result of this battle of the soul and mind is sometimes wonderful.

The artist doesnt expect for the listener to understand the feelings that a particular tune hides inside, but to make the listener reflect on his/her mind and think or even dream..Thats the biggest reward an artist can have. Money are ok but they ruin the purity the artist had in the beginning, and result to music making for money and not for expressing feelings....
Ofcourse there are still pure artists but these are very few as ND said.

All the above is my point of view and i dont necessarly think im right, but its just an opinion. Anyway music is a feeling

Wow what a lovely thread it would be really fab if all the artist would follow these instructions actually then it would be called Trance! I would like to add that for an artist that makes music from his spirit also if he really is concentrated on this then money will never conquer his soul, he will feel lost many time and have many challenges in front of him but his hearth shines when he sees the listeners change to a better way of life. He knows it's his purpose to communicate good energy through his music and so he does perfectly without words just melody feeding you the listener energy to move on in life and to make a better world. He also considers himself as a listener and loves to dance to music created by an other artist he experiences what the listener and then puts it in his music even better if he can. He feels the energies he is in touch with his soul and searches inside himself looks for the way to eliminate all ego in this life...Through this artists music we find and share the special feeling called Trance...

This is my opinion i mean no harm it's just the ideas behind our project.

          Boom :)
