another year, 2008 feels a bit wasted. saturdays conversation is really pressing on me. i guess cause it really is true, i mean i've really let stuff fall apart. so I'm torn between struggling another 2-3 years to finish high school or to just get a GED and be done with it. I need to choose soon cause i cant waste another year just waiting for things to fall into place while I'm still sitting here.
after high school plans... mostly get into music production, and learn everything i can on production, recording, mixing and music. after having countless talks with a former friend who basically told me i shouldn't even try to make my way into music. because i wouldn't make it. I'm not going to listen to him on that, I'm gonna try and try and even if i don't "break out" like #1 charting musicians thats fine cause thats not where i want to be. don't get my wrong i want to be successful, just on my own terms. (with complete creative control and freedom) i've been dabbling in music since '05 and its time to get serious about it. I'm finding ways to teach myself how to play piano, and relearning music theory so i can read sheet music. If there is one artist out there who success i'd like to mirror it would be Imogen Heap. because she has what i feel is one of the best set ups ever. She writes, records, mixes and produces all of her own music. that in itself is amazing but the label freedom she has is amazing too. She is in complete control of her music and has no one on top of her to tell her things need to be done on deadlines or to tell her she needs to write more 'marketable songs.' the only thing she has to do with labels is licensing her albums out to them for release.
but i've kind of rambled on a bit. that is for today
warmth and looking forward to
- Adem.
