Very slick! Sounds great and completely pro!

👍

Hi Joel, Thanks for dropping by Really? Haha.. that didn't occur to me. Would you like to give it a try if you're interested? I do like your jazz compositions

Hey John, Nice to see you dropping by. Umm.. maybe it's a story of loss about a love that is yet to be acknowledged? Yes.. now my mind's also working.. but perhaps the original thought was somewhere along those lines

They speak some They seek more Questions hidden behind answers Doubts giving way to wonderment Wonderment unearthing more doubts They gravitate close But never touch As they flip pages of bewilderment Is there more to the story? Or do dying embers wait to be revealed? They waltz to a song They call their own Yet shy away from giving it a name The past and the present collide To form a crescendo of uncertain waves Yet the heart yearns Each for the other Silent and tentative, hoping to come together Perhaps they will, one moment When the whispers will overcome the roars The day finally merging with the night

I discovered a Norwegian artist called Aurora a few months ago... and have been completely hooked to her voice and music. Currently, this one's running on repeat :

Noticed this now.. did my bit

Hey Cayla Resourceful Rob and Insightful Tim have already provided good inputs here :) I would just like to add that I think it's okay (probably even good) to be naive in the beginning - it allows one to be more open to new experiences. A few of them could suck but all of them would be hugely beneficial in figuring out what kind of people you could best get along with. If you're looking for long-term collaborators, then it's the personal equation that counts the most (and that takes time and patience to cultivate). If you're looking for something more short-term, then you can take a more project-wise approach with different collaborators. But both approaches require you to be pro-active and seek out as many people as possible. No point keeping too many filters in the beginning.. just jump in and have fun looking around! :) Also, just my personal opinion (I'm a total goner without a collaborator )- a good collaboration might be a more difficult route to take compared to a D.I.Y. set-up but it can also be very rewarding because the song would potentially be using the best talents/skills of each collaborator and have an overall superior quality. The question is - how much time and energy are you willing to invest?

Hey Mahesh Hope your having fun with your gigs (when's Kolkata happening??). Ah... struggle with singing - there are so many!! a) When I open my mouth and realize that there's a frog stuck in my throat b) When I want to go right with the vocal nuances but they go left c) When I have the perfect voice for that day but no inclination to sing d) When I have the right voice and inclination to sing but no emotion to accompany them e) When the pollution spikes so much that my lungs revolt for weeks! And so, I limp on...

Oh I remember these lyrics.. loved them... very touching. And no, I don't have to "belong to the same religion" to have to relate to the words. I guess, if the theme is universal, it can appeal to many without being locked within the confines of religion. Btw, I still have have that old sample melody of "How Clouds Come Crashing In" lying around with me.. if you're still interested to explore it further..

Great story as well as storytelling, @The S... you have another career option... as we can see here Thanks for sharing!

Glad that you're enjoying your new role. I guess you've always had the knack to be an interviewer and presenting the excerpts nicely And Patty is a real pleasure to interact with!

@nicetalkintoya I'm working on a 6-plus minute song, myself.. so it's interesting for me at this stage to see if I can maintain that kind of attention span for others' songs It's truly sad when some people are not able to control our emotions better, to face life's different facets. And then there are some on the other end of the spectrum who churn out huge inspiring stories from their struggles. I recently discovered a jazz singer named Melody Gardot the other day. While reading about her background, I felt I was transported to movie land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Gardot Sorry, don't mean to hijack your thread. But I thought it might be an example of how someone's story can impact us positively, too. @robertolabruna, also tagging you here.

This is an interesting link… and I do tend to fully agree with the points that he has made to justify why the current pop music isn't “classy”. Of course, he doesn't leave room for debate as to whether pop music is ever considered “classy” compared to the preceding era If we’re complaining so much about the current internet-driven music exposure in certain specific genres, wonder what will happen to the music of the next generations! Oh.. and I was searching Wikipedia for the definition of pop music.. and this is what I got - “Pop music continuously evolves along with the term's definition. According to The New Grove Dictionary Of Music and Musicians, popular music is defined as "the music since industrialization in the 1800s that is most in line with the tastes and interests of the urban middle class.”” Undoubtedly, the music makeover has been enormous over the ages. And perhaps the scientific algorithms will get changed and upgraded, too I guess it all comes down to our personal taste. Either we like something or we don’t. And we will always have a good reason to support what we like or don’t like Ah.. and yes, Max Martin – I do remember his trademark sound way back from the Britney Spears-Backstreet Boys-N’ Sync-etc. days. His name appeared on almost every third song in their albums (yeah, because the internet boom wasn’t there, and I had more time to read all the details in the CD/cassette booklets). To have lasted over 2 decades, I can see that he had to evolve his music, too. Definitely a lot of science and strategy involved..
