Hey, guys! I was wondering, do you think about your motive when you create music? There is so much dark music out there, be it lyrics or beats that suggest into that. Lately I feel paralyzed to create new music because I don't want to tap into that subconscious pipe. And it happens without realising. I was wondering If you are aware of that? Or maybe you like dark music? Or do you make effort to create music that would drive you listeners closer to God?
@lauris I’m in the process of searching for new music and re establishing my taste in music. But I think it will be a very small niche. You can call it devilish or dark it’s the same. Take any song from popular music nowadays, it will sing about fornication, shooting someone in the face, glorification of money, witchcraft (Taylor Swift) etc. Not like I was ever into popular music but it’s everywhere. In gym, cafes, on streets. Even most of the popular music from 60ies and onward is just channeled by dark. I highly recommend you watch the movie “They sold their souls for rock’n’roll” by Joe Schimmel. Opened my eyes.
Aga I'm so glad you posted this because this has been all I've thought about for a long long time.
I've been crushed by how much the music industry is accepting darker/evil/depressing things to talk about in music. It really discouraged me from making music for a while.
But that's kinda how I came onto SoundGym because I realized how important it is if you have a vision message purpose from God and it's through music, you have to make it come to life as best as you can.
People who are talking about these darker things have the platform and the sound quality to do so. If we want to hear more music that is positive and uplifting we must build the same for us.
Producers, engineers musicians who all are not with the messaging of today's music have got to keep improving and creating things that allow people to hear something different, something more positive.
What genres have you looked into? I'm literally going through the same thing myself where I haven't been listening to as much music because of messaging. So far I've liked Ambient beats like breakcore and dnb for just chilling and house and jersey club music for instrumentals to write on. Still thinking there's much more to hear, but let me know!
