Us and Them
In the past, a lot of musical groups and solo acts would be signed to labels if they were very popular and earned a lot of money from concert sales. However, once signed, these acts were only able to do what the contract they signed tells them to do, which is why so many that become popular put out more mainstream albums that may be different from their past output. Some faded away because they weren't able to make the desired amount of money to stay relevant. Fans would also have just as much or more high rigid expectations of these groups as does the label they're signed to, which can compromise their profitability.
So, for us, it would be better to:
- Get away from these rules and ignore these expectations people have of us except our own for better creative output
- Understand that doing so would result in monetary loss and stagnancy, so put in a donation system as an alternative choice instead of begging for sales
- Do whatever we want while attempting to appeal to the public at the same time, which is actually somewhat difficult as not everyone will enjoy our works
If you went to download and listen to the audio files you would notice that we tend to combine styles that are considered completely different from each other, even though there might be a favoring over one or the other. You never hear that in many pop and rock songs, and when you do, it is mostly short lived experimentation and the styles used tend to be more popular than obscure.
What we're saying is that we have more freedom to experiment with a lot of things on here than if we were controlled by other entities, and that's what separates us from other musical acts that prefer to play only one or two similar styles to appease the crowd on more mainstream platforms for money. Although there might be other artists similar to us as well. Here all of this is mostly done as a hobby, but a hobby we would like to share with everyone reading this post.
