I don’t have any issues reconciling different musical genres and styles in my listening, and to some extent in playing. But in writing, and producing music, that is a different story (for me)! Edit: In your music making, in particular your writing and producing (assuming you cross over...

Anyone have a favorite October song? I’m saving my favorite song by month for next month, November.

In the entertainment and business worlds, I suspect we’ve all dealt with them (maybe even a little within ourselves at times). I might (edited) have one or two in my family but neither one of them is a "bad person”—just not good listeners, which can be frustrating. This article helped me...

I guess this might be sort of a spin-off from @Spirit Groove ’s recent thread. I’m getting sick of reading about AI as I’m guessing many folks are, but this subject concerns me also as a music fan/listener, not only as a musician/creator.

I’ve been using www.bandsintown.com, and a couple of my local public radio stations have event calendars. What are some of your ways to discover new artists or check around your local area for shows/concerts?

@Mike Greene, please let me know if you have any preference for the format of how to post here, or if posting this video isn’t kosher (NPR Tiny Desk). This post feels maybe a little TLDR, but just posting videos of music we like feels low effort... I stumbled into Sam Smith on YouTube...

I’ve been a musician for over 40 years and was lucky to be exposed to all kinds of different music and music gigs growing up. My primary instruments are upright bass, electric bass, cello, and electric cello. My primary interest these days is composing and arranging. I hope this forum takes...
