Sometimes, I feel the same way a feral pig does when he is looking at a drill press.
That doesn’t stop me from trying though.
Bruce Warila, he’s one of the guys I read regularly in my continued attempt to figure out what music 2.0 is/will be.
Today he discusses the Celestial Funnel.
If I were an aspiring artist today, I wouldn’t spend much effort on promotion (single artist no, multi-artist brand yes). I would wait for the funnel to evolve. Your songs are going to settle into their natural place in the funnel regardless of how much or little noise you make about yourself.
That’s good because, I didn’t sleep much last night and today’s coffee has reached a point of diminishing returns. An eerie quiet has settled over the campground and, I’m restless. So, I’m going to get out of here for a bit. Going to go cook some ribs. Thanks for pointing out the loophole, Bruce.

That may be a funnel in Missouri, but over here in London that’s a MARTINI GLASS!!!!
The level of noise I’m making at the moment is akin to the butterfly flapping its wings around the globe in Japan… if the sky turns green, head for the basement!
I am sooo sleepy. I need coffee!

It’s not a martini glass. There’s no wide spot at the bottom, so it’ll fall over.
But the question begs to be asked: Do you like your music shaken or stirred?

From top down:
Songs and Artists — “…the experimentalists freed the performer from his incarceration by the serialists, restoring the mutuality of the relationship between composer and performer; …composer Christian Wolff, for example, notates not what to play, but how to play.
Same Sonic Science — “For the new consonant composers, the problem of the kind of language is not a problem. Their music can be tonal, atonal, microtonal… who cares? The point is that their music is understood by both performers and audience. So, New Consonant Music is nothing else than the resurgence of an old and simple idea : if you have something to say, just say it!”
