Music as a Job or Lifestyle
pwhodges:
The state of classical music in Britain.
Bastardous Bassist:
What about Thomas Adès or (if you want to go to the whole UK) James MacMillan? They're two of the brightest composers from the UK and I think they both still live there. I'm not saying it means that the article is wrong based on two composers, but I would have liked them to maybe present an opposing viewpoint.
Mr. Doctor:
I remember I wrote about my view of music in the I'm new-thread...
Music is my life, but I don't play any instruments and probably never will because for me Music is an art I just want to appreciate, not create.
This gives me the benefit of not clinically listen to music as some friends I know do.
When it comes to bands, I don't think I have a lot of opinions about the matter... But as along as it suits them with their families and lifestyle it's ok.
Hehehe some bands I like never do life-shows so they have to work, but they seem to like it.

Not all musicians clinically listen to music. Most of the time, I just bury myself in the sound and let the composer take over. Most of the musicians I know do that same thing. The one exception is if I'm trying to learn or arrange the piece of music.
Mr. Doctor:
And most of the musicians I know do the thing I was talking about... Different cases, that's all.
