Oftentimes, musicians I hear about musicians who are forced into containers that are not their own, to make music that conforms to the demands of record companies so that they will reach high profit margins. Recently I was watching an episode of Numb3rs where the were discussing a algorithmic program that music producers use to determine if a song will be "pleasing" to listeners based on the certain sounds that we are most accustomed to. Whether or not this type of system is used, it would be an interesting idea to consider. Norah Jones is perhaps one of the most talented artists I have heard and I have followed her music for some time. The authenticity of her music is what draws me purchase not individual songs on iTunes but rather her entire album because I find that an entire album represents a story with its sequencing - somewhat like the narrative of a book, with chapters. I wonder if it takes us time to realize to understand that our containers our for ourselves to mold rather than determined by the wishes of our parents. At least for myself, it has taken sometime for me to understand that the container my family wanted (scientist) was certainly not my authentic self. When there is this feeling of authenticity the ability to freely move and grow seems much more feasible. In time it seems that my family has been more grateful that I realized my container is my own more than they ever were happy that I was trying to fit in their imagined one. - SaraNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658950332086850227.post-5669626730314606702009-11-19T08:43:51.724-05:002009-11-19T08:43:51.724-05:00I really enjoyed this post.
