Anyone else make music?

[Tboy]

Looking for someone else to make music with/collaborate. 

 

I realise I just can't do my Life Purpose by myself - I produce, play guitar and some other instruments and also sing but it just feels like way too much to do and I really love making stuff with other people (my second top value is connection) - 

 

Anyone else also have music as their life purpose (ideally singers) and want to collaborate? 

 

I mainly listen to Indie, Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Bossa Nova, some heavier rock like Grunge too - lemme know

Playing with others will help you develop yourself a lot.

Sometimes.  It depends.  You also have to find a way to practice to develop chops on your own too.

It highly depends on being responsible. But I think playing with others, for others, is the rewarding part of music.

Imagine if you really enjoy playing on your own, then doing that with others becomes more fun.

You get a lot of advice from other musicians that sometimes can lead you down wrong paths.  Also I find many musicians are reluctant or incapable of explaining how they learned to play or to convey to you anything that you can take away.  It is very odd really.

Honestly I don't really pay attention to others musicians advice on what should I do except if I that person is my teacher. I am just too focused on doing my thing. So I just go there to experiment on my own. I don't like when another musician tries to control how I have to play. At the end of the day rehearsing is correcting your wrongness, pitfails, etc.

But the thing that you really learn is communication. Because there is a balance that has to exist between communicating what the group will do (arrangements, etc) and also allowing freedom for each musician.

I think the best thing to do is listen to a lot of music, play a lot of music, work on your chords and scales, and your ear training.  Be able to apply musical principles by practicing harmony, time, playing tunes.  And then you can play with others too.  But it has to come out of you.  You are embodying music alone and accompanying others who are doing the same too maybe.

You crave playing with others because you want to realize Unity.

This is the conclusion I came to.

This is a work in progress, so still rough around the edges.

This is a piece out of that Event that I'm working on, a lot more fleshed out and finished—lyrics in German though.

Event?

My Life Purpose in the terms of this forum: Creating an event that allows us to make an experience of the Divine together.

My music is the heart piece of it (the intrumentals all are on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/vibv/sets/aufstieg) and with it the story I've written (https://vibevent.net/vibretto/ but it's only German for now).

We gather to listen to the music (accompanied by an intricate light show) while I tell the story. There are 7 songs to be sung together—the 7 VIBEMOMENTS, one for each chakra from bottom (root) to top (crown), while we move through an emotional arc loosely resembling a Heroe's Journey.

While everyone makes their unique experience we also find together as a Community, there's a sense of Communion that happens. Difficult experiences can be helped by the other's holding the room for someone.

Our goal is to become ONE organ and that in our midst and through our united voices awaken a spark of the Divine, that we call the ON in the story.

The ON is not the highest God, but it is the demiurge that created humanity and ultimately is humanity, but he is asleep. Our goal is to wake him up and that's only possible through us.

Let me know if something's unclear  Excited to talk about it.
