That's an unexpected answer. I could understand your not being a "groupie" which I assume you mean a full time fan as opposed to the other meaning, and perhaps too your not considering yourself a musician in the sense of professional endeavor. So, the question I still wonder about, having thought I'd find my answer already, is why do you suddenly ask about what Jim's influences in production are, and how he came by them? And also, I wonder, being as you are a listener, how you have developed knowledge of the difference between the song and the production? And, responding to your personal statement, why would becoming a musician not be a possibility for you? > If I wanted to arrange music professionally, long before I > could think about that I'd have to first do stuff like get > way more proficient on keyboards, learn more music theory, > study musical arrangements etc. It's like the idea that > you have to crawl before you walk. So, you do play keyboards but don't consider yourself proficient in them? And you know you would need to learn the music theory. But why musical arrangement, as opposed to composing? Or just playing on existing arrangements? Producing records isn't about musical arrangement per se, as I have learned, there is the arrangement and the production as two separate parts of the project. When you think of the recordings Jim has made, do you listen most to the arrangements or to the production....and what are you thinking of the production as being? | |
