I'm a fan!

I agree that creating a physical copy of music is a lot about symbolic commitment-- and the joy of having something tangible-- these days. Another thing I love about it is the visual part of it-- getting to see the cover art and the design of the stapled booklet inside the CD or the insert in the vinyl jacket. It's great when lyrics or artist statements are included in there too. It just feels so much more complete...

On the subject of color and shapes in relation to music, and the synesthesia that Jenn mentioned a few months ago, I just read an article that speculates about the relationship between synesthesia and creativity. I'm not sure I think that synesthesia makes people *more* creative, but I'm sure it helps boost creativity to those people who let it (not that I would know-- I don't have it, though I wish I did...). Anyway I thought it was interesting the way the article brings up artists of different kinds who suspected of having synesthesia. Here's the link for anyone who's interested: https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-people-sound-taste-color-creative

Agreed! They do so much good work...

I totally agree. I'm also not a fan of Spotify for that reason because it rips off musicians so badly...

Super fascinating article-- thanks for sharing, Rudi! I'm also still forming my thoughts about it but reading through this thread is helping

I use the guitar...mostly because I can barely play the piano

Not surprising but so outraging... Thanks for sharing though, Just1L

Hi everyone! I'm wecouldbeheroes, and I'm excited to be part of this forum. I'm a poet and songwriter with no professional experience but a lot of interest in lyric-production and music in general. I'm excited to talk with you all!
