A Quick Summary
Welcome everyone! so I opened a blog again. Yay me, am I right. Anyhow, since there is already a description in the Blog about the nature of its content, so I don`t have to say it again. All you really gotta know is, i`m going to use this Blog to express my thoughts and feelings about various subjects. My posts are not always going to be about music. Though the biggest difference being, is that unlike how I write in the open forum, in here i`m not going to apply as much moderation as I normally do. I want to use this Blog to pass time in a more chilled way, and give people a chance to get to know me better as a person.
However. Since I do feel like I have a responsibility towards the readers (not to mention respect for the staff!), i`m not going to go off the rail, and there will be times where I will not explain everything. And in addition, I will also assign "PEGI 18" or some kind of warning over content that might be triggering or possibly NSFW. In other words: don`t worry, i`m going to do what I can to keep things cool, so you won`t have to worry about this Blog turning into Pornhub or something like that 😅
Though at the same time, I intend to be very honest in here, and the manner of which I express myself is going to be a little different from what people in the open-forum might be used too. For one, I usually don`t cuss, and I often phrase myself in a relatively "responsible way". I mean, I don`t think I come off as being "fake". Or, at least I hope I don`t come off that way. However, I definitely compose myself in a manner which is aimed at presenting myself before a wider audience (aka, writing with caution). Hey don`t give me that LOOK! you do it too! you kinda have too on the internet 🤐
That being said - this is a personal Blog. Its all about ME ME ME 👍 And if there is one thing I detest, its censorship and acting politically correct. And, yes, I used the word "acting" because that kinda behavior is some fake-ass, BS. I mean, I get that people need to act responsibly and come off all official n` shit (especially as musicians and producers). But, at the risk of sounding hypocritical, it drives me nuts sometimes 😵 because, like, on a personal level, I don`t think anyone really "wants" to be an "agreeable person". You know what I mean? how boring is that! like those people that follow/like/tweet the destruction of rain forests for the sake of coming off "positively-green". You know the kinda people i`m talking about? just for once id like to see one of those bastards say it like it is. Say: "the shady ass PR company and producer I hired told me to pretend I give a shit about the environment". I wish they would admit to it.
Which leads me to another thing people don`t know about me. If someone asks me: "hey VX! you are an ex-metal head that became a classical composer. Why did you get into soundtracks, of all things?", than my answer IS going to be: Why? because of MONEY, motherf*cker. That`s why. Cold hard, cash. Nothing more, nothing less. I`m old, bitch. I don`t have the time, neither the patience, to play all artsy fartsy with ANYONE.
And that my friends... is... one of the many, MANY reasons, why I am not in charge of promotion 🤣 I don`t give a flying f*ck about all these modern special snowflakes hoping to hear some pompous explanation about the "incredible journey of creation". Newsflash, kids - everything happens is a SUPER controlled environment. Everything from sales, to even your reaction, is predictable, and its all done "by the book". Everything is calculated, orchestrated, and preformed / edited / managed, by teams of professionals. All of which go about their business with surgical precision, recycled formulas, and ZERO care for actual creativity. Because when it comes to Soundtracks, "quality over quantity" is a myth nowadays. You think you know something about the industry? think again. Believe me when I tell you that If the average fan got a gimps "into the magic", they would f*cking hate it.
Yes I know that this is petty nonsense. And I feel like bitching about this sorta stuff, every now and then. Hence... la blog 😏 you know, funny thing about musicians.... everyone says that "we are all equal". But they don`t really feel that way. People like me that mainly work on Soundtracks get shit from bands / solo artists. They say stuff like "oh your work is easy anyone can do it", and they say that its not really art. People say these things especially in the Metal scene. To which I usually reply with: "right because vomiting power chords is so original and complicated! you obviously NEED a Bachelors of Arts Degree and Masters Degree in Post-Production, in order to play Metallica spin offs, AM I RIGHT?".
I`m sorry. I know that this whole thing might seem a bit intense. But the more you`ll get to know me, the more you`ll realize that my aggressive choice of words is meant as humor, as entertainment. I`m not as pissed off as I seem to be sometimes. In fact, as a general rule of thumb, I always do whatever I can to avoid writing when i`m actually upset about something. Why? because mouthing off and being overly sarcastic is already a bad habit of mine IRL. So I try to leave that outside the virtual realm.
Anyhow. That`s all the time I have for today. I`ll write more structured posts at some other time. Oh right. @john. In the spirit of things, I dunno if your reading this. But if you are, make the forum more lively if possible! 👍 as much as I am okay with talking to myself, its nicer when there is an audience! @Popthree @Mahesh @Steve Mueske you too guys! you are some of my favorite people in here! am I shameless whoring this Blog? yes. Yes I am. Anyhow I hope that at least somebody enjoys this read! 😄
