part of the part of the title. 00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:05.359 Um in fact the um the title track transmography is over nine minutes long, maybe ten minutes, nine, nine and change. 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:12.640 And there's only one section in the middle of the song that comes from the original idea of the song. 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.839 And even that was changed. 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.519 That's the vocal section. 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.319 Even that was changed a little bit. 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:24.880 So uh so that's you know, again, that's part of the the title where that comes from. 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:37.200 And um, oh, it's also about change uh that's going on in the world and my own for my own personal self, the change that's going on with me as I evolve. 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.160 And uh when you say evolve, what do you what do you mean?

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:53.440 What do you mean a one a future one that you could make up? 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.880 I don't understand that. 00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:03.680 A future music industry, like what would it be like if you could make it if you could create that? 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.039 And then which one would you go back to? 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:07.839 Okay. 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:20.559 Well, um, I think that uh sponsored um government sponsored artists and musicians, I like like in the old days. 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:27.759 Government sponsored court court court composers back in Bozart's days. 00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:40.400 Uh where uh musicians got paid to write music and you know didn't have to worry about like getting the next gig and stuff, and got supported by the government. 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:44.480 I think you know, I think it would be wonderful if we could go back to that. 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.119 So you want to be a court composer, I love it. 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.319 Kings and queens and Jane Getter. 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:55.519 Um just a
composer, just a paid composer, just to sit in my own. 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.440 No, no, I love that. 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:05.839 City in sit in my studio and write music and just have it have you know, have it and play it for for uh you know, for the masses. 00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:09.839 I you know, just people music brings well there weren't masses then. 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:15.359 No, I mean music brings happiness and joy to people, and we need more of that in this world. 00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:25.200 I think you know, uh more um funded and sponsored uh live performances, I think, you know, would be great. 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:30.160 So and would that be the future one that you would like to see happen? 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.839 Like if you could imagine a music. 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:33.519 That's the future one. 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.599 Like that that I want to bring that back, but I don't want to live in that time. 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:43.119 Yes, I mean uh you know, no uh no penicillin. 00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:45.359 Right, right, right, right. 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:50.799 And also, you know, uh when record labels sign an artist and they stay with them. 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:58.640 They don't, you know, if if you're if your one album doesn't, you know, make a million dollars or billions of dollars and you get dropped. 00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:03.200 I mean, you have to give the artist a chance to uh to grow and evolve. 00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:07.759 And so and that happened more back in the 70s and the 60s. 00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:08.960 It sure did. 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.680 So, you know, we're not in that time anymore at all. 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.119 There are no labels. 00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:17.519 Artists are m more or less self-managed and build their own careers. 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:18.400 I've always done that. 00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.519 And then I did get a record deal, and then I had a hit, a couple of them. 00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:40.160 But now it it's I talk to a lot of artists, and they complain a lot, and they say, Oh, you know, I don't we don't have this, and I and I don't want to do this, and oh, this is hard, and I don't want to create content. 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:42.799 It's like I hate it, I hate it. 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.680 So uh so and I I I agree with some of that. 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.480 I mean, nothing is easy, but I don't see it in a negative, I see it as a revolution. 00:32:53.519 --> 00:33:04.640 And I see it as a way for for artists to create something, and and I think what the reason that people get that artists are maybe you can tell me your opinion on this. 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:19.519 I think the reason that artists get overwhelmed so easily is uh because they don't feel like they should be doing this, they feel like they should just be having fun and writing songs and you know that's like the this initial sort of idea of yeah, it's all about joy and pleasure.
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:20.720 And guess what? 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:21.920 You know, it's not. 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.960 There's a lot of work involved in creating careers. 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:29.359 And the industry was responsible for that for decades, decades, decades. 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:37.119 And uh a lot of people succeeded, a lot of people also didn't, and a lot of labels also did and didn't succeed. 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:43.359 So, you know, my my opinion about that is um, well, what can you do? 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.519 What can you do to advance your career? 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.599 You're gonna have to learn and do some other things. 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.880 And then a lot of people, a lot of artists say, well, that's gonna take away from the art. 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:52.319 It's gonna take away from the art. 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:54.400 And I'm like, no, it isn't. 00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:57.839 Being good at marketing is just as creative. 00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:59.359 It can be very creative. 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.359 You can be very creative if you have good ideas. 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.240 Not all musicians are good at that, though. 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.200 So how could how do we make them better at it? 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.400 You tell me. 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:17.199 Okay, well, come to my workshop August 30th in uh New York City. 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:18.239 It's free. 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:21.840 Um and uh I'll tell you. 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:25.119 In Manhattan, my masterclass. 00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:29.039 I do a masterclass every year where I talk about my own experience. 00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:34.239 Because I've seen both, you know, I've been in the label world and I've also been independent. 00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:40.000 And I see myself as independent because even when I had record deals, I licensed the albums to the to the label. 00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:40.960 Right, you know, right. 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:48.320 But I think what we do need is people, the right kind of people to work with. 00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:56.960 So I still think we need people on the creative side on the marketing creative business side that we work with. 00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.800 I don't think that's gonna go away. 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.320 I think we still need those people. 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:01.360 Yeah, definitely. 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.599 And because some people, some people are good at that and and some people aren't. 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:14.880 And um, you know, it uh I mean some musicians have that that part of their brain happening and some don't. 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:24.800 So I th I think if we, you know, if you're worried about creating content, um work on it, you know, and do what feels natural. 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:32.239 But that's really difficult for people because you don't think about like what are your what are some of your challenges with that personally?
