Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Just wondering about where people see themselves going with their music and how people deal with having multiple musical interests... I know for me I like lots of different types of music. I play classical piano and can compose light acoustic style tunes to fit my melodic side. I can DJ dance and electro music and started producing a bit on my computer. I like jazz, the progressive dissonance and resolution. I like hard and dark sounds like NIN. I like fun synth lead pop... etc etc etc. I'd like to play as much as possible with lots of different people. But even without considering the band and live issue - I spend my time doing such different music that I don't feel like I have an identity as an artist. Do people compose under different aliases? Post on separate myspace pages? Join multiple bands?

Or maybe people notice a progression in their music as they advance in their career. Some of you musical veterans can probably comment on this - did you start somewhere and then kind of check off your different music styles as you went along?

I want to ROCK, rock ROCK rock ROCK ! I Want To ROCK!
Progresson is to get progressivly louder till the whole town complains.
THEN turn it UP!

San: haha you're funny, man.. Louder isn't always better.. but yea, Rock all the way, man.
Since I was a lil baby, I was thrown into a world of music that involves Elvis, Motown tunes, and Celine Dion haha
Then when I hit 13, I realized there was real music out there.. I saw the light: R-O-C-K. Cheesy, it is. But, it's true.
Then I came to like the blues, southern rock, thrash metal, classic rock, and ofcourse Grunge.

Some musicians, as they grow older, tend to lose the "spark" that made them play, and they start to mellow out and play lame music that lost the spirit of the music. Notice, I said "Some," not "All."
