On Me || On Music

Music Production sometimes begs purity, but at others defiantly and arrogantly replaces it, for the sake of invaluable emotion, if not magic ignorance, or coincidence. Unrehearsed magnificence often rewrites standard!

Synopsis

Jim was in the music business, to some significant degree, from 1966 until 2012. In Part One, he takes you through the ins and outs, the theories, and his earliest music lessons.

In Part Two, he stresses his experience – instrumental performance, road work, and studio session time. He describes work done with some of the bands he formed, managed, and performed with.

Here, we have two subjects from the cusp between theories and instrumental performance involving Production:

For the sake of anonymous purity, whether it’s ritual, comfort, productivity, or fun, some things, we do not want to fix. No need. Some things we may.

Analogous to the champagne cork, in that, we certainly can improve that technique or method, do we really want to? No, we don’t. Because we like the sound and vision. We like the pop, the bubbles, and the fizz. The volatility of the moment is an exciting and beautiful mix of déjà vu and surprise; priceless when captured.

Music Production sometimes begs purity, but at others defiantly and arrogantly replaces it, for the sake of invaluable emotion, if not magic ignorance, or coincidence.

Unrehearsed magnificence often rewrites standard!
