Seems to be the way, nothing makes better music than loosing everything, be it your wealth, your health or your mind. Maybe its just the harsh contrast it presents that reminds you exactly how valuable your life and your journey is. With out contrast in our lives how do we come to any realisations? I feel advantaged in having periods of psychosis, loosing my mind has been endless inspiration for me, hell i even named my main project after an episode where i truly believed i could walk through walls. Its made me a stronger person, if i let the sadness and isolation consume me i wouldn’t be making anything at all, taking it on as experience though its the best medicine i could hope for.

Interesting.
When I read the post and hadn’t yet watched the video, I thought it might be, that people need something interesting in their live, some source of emotion to draw inspiration from and make music with a point. It does not necessarily have to be pain, I think. But what are you gonna do otherwise? Copy others, I guess and try to figure out a cool sounding hook and that’s it.

About the negative reaction.
Maybe people get scared when they hear a general negative statement of a group of people and can identify themselves in that group.
About one or two years ago someone posted, that he was bored of a lot of newer productions, cause people would just layer ready made loops from collections and add some efx (which was so true at the time). He did not attack anyone, but there was a whole mob of aggressive replies whether he could do it better and why he’d talk bad about other people’s music. It’s a strange attitude, but I think people get scared, that a statement might take general respect away from their works, especially when they are caught in their weak spot.

Oliver, it’s not they they don’t realize they are boring…it’s just that they can’t think for themselves. well, at least that’s how i see it.

Reminds me of the Charlie Parker quote: “If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn.”
