A Need To Keep Music Alive Today
Composing Music Today
I think music is in serious need to be kept alive. Everywhere, from Nigeria to UK, to Canada, the USA, Europe and possibly anywhere else, music creation is waning. Did it become easier to make music just so that composers would stop trying to make outstanding works?
Let the art of music making return. Music is what we are selling, let us write them well.
I feel like a lot of composers are not giving enough time to works creation anymore. Some are so engrossed in exploiting the limelight they take it for granted that the audience will listen to anything they bring out, and so stop really applying themselves to composing.
From experience, I know that there are the musicians who suffer a trade-off in one area for getting better in another. Like some musicians work hard at their instruments and find it hard to write their own songs or lyrics to their melodies. It goes the other way round, too.
Whatever it may take, effort should be made to work at compositions before they are turned out. One way out is recognizing one's limitation and solving it rather than let the audience go without. You can always outsource that service you cannot do yourself that will make you a complete package.
Listen to some of my released songs here.
