Since I was a kid my love for music has always been present. My dad always played music when I was around, and I always danced to the beat that was playing on the CD player. My brothers share music with me, even though I am not a fan of the music they play, I still enjoy listening to new music. These past years, my taste in music has changed. I now listen to more electronic music, maybe because I love how random sounds put together can make an awesome melody.
As I grew up, I passed through some
stages in music learning. My dad was the one who started this process, he
showed me music, he always and still supports me in music, and even he still has
his opinion on the music I now create. The next stage was the stage in which I
listened to music alone in my room, always trying to find out a new genre but
could never found it. My brothers continued, as I grew up, the process of music
learning. I listened with them the music they had found out in school, I stayed
up listening to the albums my brothers had. That is how I magically discovered
my taste in the music I listen now.
My first taste in modern music was
when I went crazy for Owl City, the first band with electronic melodies. I
loved to listen to the sounds he made with his synthesizer. After my taste in
Owl City, I tried going into more electronic, bigger picture stuff, and even deeper
stuff. I don’t really remember how I got to know Hardwell, but I’m glad I got
to know his music. His music changed my perception in electronic dance music, I
enjoy this type of music because there are many weird sounds in the song that
make and compose the melodies it follows. Even when I got to see him live I
still remember vividly that experience.
Now
I am doing some projects, something I would never imagine doing. I mix music,
not because I want fame, it’s because I enjoy sharing music with others as my
parents and brothers have done for me. I want to stand up on a stage and go
crazy just as the crowd goes crazy. I would enjoy also bringing artists for people
to see, like many people name it, I want to be a production manager. So this is
what I mostly wanted to write about, because not so many people view music as I
do. I wanted to share this thought with most people I know.
I'd like to know what kind of music your father and brothers introduced to you. Who were the artists? What were the titles of the songs? How do those early artists and songs influence you now?
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading, I really became interested when you wrote about specific artists and described the music. This level of specificity is what makes writing and reading interesting, just as new ways of putting sounds together make music interesting.
