Soroush Khazaei, audiovisual artist, killed in an airstrike in Tehran - CDM Create Digital Music People are not numbers, and so among the rising tide of wartime deaths around the world are some familiar faces from our communities. Soroush Khazaei was an audiovisual artist who gave generously to the Iranian scene. He was killed earlier this week in Tehran by US/Israeli airstrikes.

Oh wow the “aleatoric and generative instruments have existed since the 1960s” argument again very original!

We are witnessing an intentional mass de-skilling and illiteracy event take place before our very eyes across all mediums of expression and thought.

Is it gauche to wear your own blog's hat to the trampoline park?

And yes they should’ve been less expensive! 😉

That’s you reading way too far into a single sentence response, not my problem dude! I’ve gone to plenty of life changing massive shows in arenas n shit cmon now.

My justified frustration towards a struggling smaller music venue economy is not pretension, but you’re right it’s not a solution to Ticketmaster/LN monopoly. I’m allowed to vent and you came into my replies and I was just asking if that’s the only music you go see live

My initial post is a response to this article seeming to ignore small and mid level acts altogether which is more indicative of the flattening one size fits all streaming culture effect that has been bleeding over into live music.

I don’t think Ticketmaster should be able to squeeze you out of being able to afford a ticket to a big show but I also think you should make a habit of supporting smaller to mid level artists because you are contributing to that artists rise towards potentially playing that arena show one day

Your favorite music is exclusively Top 40 music for arenas?

I believe we can make our own institutions and don’t need to be beholden to evil foundations and boards of directors but man, this shit takes time and time is money and none of us have time or money bc we have to keep grinding.

I’ve been pondering the idea of developing a cooperative network of independent music teachers such as myself to work towards something like a shared benefits package but have become discouraged in how difficult it is to organize others around this mission even on very small scale.

When we allow streaming platforms to destroy organic discover and the ability for subcultures to flourish, what we’re left with are millions of people who genuinely have no idea where to hear new things beyond an algorithmic playlist that spoonfeeds them only Top 40 artists and generative slop.

Just fucking support local music

when i worked at a music shop near coney island boardwalk and was out getting lunch during purim and the mitzvah tank pulled up and chabadniks in costumes literally dragged me inside, wrapped me in tefillin, gave me a shot of vodka and a bag of hamentaschen cookies, and kicked me off the bus.
