Just to registry purposes ...

Just to registry purposes , here is a short contact and words between me and Max ( http://www.myownmusic.de/artistpage_info.php?artist_id=12622 ) about a music I made , Jeans and Hat .
Once I don't have how to reply for him on my own music player here , I post this blog to express my opinion . I'll not reply directly to Max because I don't want more blablabla with him about my work . Here is ( 1 ) his rewiew , ( 2 ) my reply for him through my mailbox here and ( 3 ) his replication :

( 1 )

Hmmm ... Also die ersten zwanzig, dreissig Sekunden war ich absolut begeistert! Der Sound der Gitarre ist absolut sagenhaft und das Spiel klingt richtig cool und wahnsinnig lebendig. Aber dann wartet man auf den einsetzenden Gesang, der nie kommt. Oder man wartet auf irgendeine, wie auch immer geartete Entwicklung im Track. Stattdessen passiert ueberhaupt nichts und das immergleiche Riff wird einfach fuer mehr als sieben Minuten in Schleife gespielt. Die Begeisterung vom Anfang verpufft nach spaetestens zwei Minuten und ab dann hoert man eigentlich nur noch weiter, weil man es fuer nicht vorstellbar haelt, dass hier einfach nichts, aber auch rein garnichts mehr im Song passieren wird. Eine Hoffnung, die dann nach sieben Minuten endgueltig stirbt.

Deshalb macht bitte was Vernuenftiges aus diesem wirklich geilen Ansatz. Stellt dem Riff noch einen zweiten Part an die Seite und findet einen Saenger. Und kuerzt das Teil ...

Bis dahin erstmal 2 Sterne fuer "geht besser" und einen Gruss,

MAX

I appreciate your words but please consider that I play just instrumental . When you say 'song that never comes' you refer to vocals ? And also please consider that is a solo work : I don't have other musicians with me . No drums , no bass , no other guitar , no keyboard , nothing . And I don't use any amplifier or other eletronic resource . So to fill the air when you are alone with your guitar is much more hard my friend .
I really appreciate that you take your time to write for me but have in mind that are simple tracks Max . I don't have any pretension to publish 'the music of the century' , don't like complex music , don't like much technique , complex minds and simply don't worry about the number of stars you gave me man . 'Find a singer' is your opinion and I don't agree because isn't my way . Please respect my way .
I've checked 'Soulmate' and 'Nothing to lose' . Do you have more material ?
Anyway thank you very much for the review .

Greetings ,
Cebe

PEACE AND LOVE

Hi,

first to your question. No, we don't have more material online than the two songs that you mentioned.

To your track: I was thinking hard, how to judge the song, and the two stars that I eventually gave do not mean in this case that the song is badly performed. I hope that became clear in my review. I at least tried to make that clear. In fact, I was initially very enthusiastic about the track, however, that enthusiasm was lost over the course of the recording, because there is simply not enough happening in the song. In principle, it's just one riff that plays in a loop over and over again. And I personally think that this is somehow sad, because the underlying idea is really good as is the sound. However, it's not a mature song. In my view, to make a "real song" out of it, either vocals should be added. Or, if you prefer to let it be an instrumental song, then much more should be added. Rather than playing one riff in a loop for seven minutes, I would add more parts that flow into each other and that make the whole product more attractive for the listener. That's what I wanted to express with the review and I hope that my statement has not been misunderstood.

Best,

MAX

Ok , Ok ...
What I have to say about this :
I really enjoyed his music . Is cool . But his writing is pure shit . Not for his opinion about my music once I respect the opinion of others and when someone put something online is good to be prepared for all kinds of opinions . And not one love my music like me and no one hate my music like me . I'm not perfect and my music isn't also , so I don't worry about this . But I worry about a person that take a part of the time time to write something like that to all people read . Why didn't he write me on my inbox , to just my own reading ? . If a non musician writing that , I to admit . But another musician to come to my player and write such nonsense in order to discredit my work to others is something unacceptable to me . Max messed my player .

His opinion does'nt means the end of the music I made , doesn't means what 'Jeans and Hat' really is . I don't know what that music really is . It's his own opinion , just this . I see like a shit his writing because there he put his opinion like an 'end' , like the reality , like a fact . He put his finger on my face and said 'your music is this and end of history' .

He wrote 'To your track: I was thinking hard, how to judge the song' . Pure , pure shit . How someone can judge the creation of other person ? How a musician can judge other musician ? Only arrogant people think that they have the power to 'judge' the creations of others and put 1 , 2 or 3 'stars' like the final result . On my trail I have the luck of meet really big musicians that have the own creations internationally recognized and that don't write any letter of 'judgment' about the creations of others musicians . " As bigger and better is the person, more humble is this person . Period . "

Please note that I'm not saying that Max IS arrogant , but I see he like one .
Is MY opinion based about what he wrote for ME . I do not know him personally and after I read nor want to know about him .I say this because his first contact was absolutely out of any kind of friendly approach , something totally unnecessary .

He also wrote 'In principle, it's just one riff that plays in a loop over and over again' .
What's the problem if is a loop ? Is the end of the world a loop ?
Max gave me a new idea to a brand : " Instrumental Cowboy Loops " . Thank you man LOL !

My final opinion : If you have your music online , if you have put something just to people enjoy , if you work honestly to try to make a living with your art and someone comes from nothing to 'judge' your creation , don't worry about that . Keep on your focus , on your way and read what that person said and learn something with that . Do not give much importance to any musician with the face of bad-boy-using-a-worn-jeans-holding-a-guitar-of-famous-brand that appears to criticize your work . The true and good musicians are here to *make friends* and true and good musicians do not suffer from any 'syndrome of perfection in the digital age' .

What Max wrote has something that I've learned and on some way I'll increase my work after his opinion : now I'm going to put still more from ME . I'll pay more attention on some details of what I do but I'll not put the tail between legs and accept everything that was said . I see his opinion like pure shit because is initially arrogant but I want to say that I like his music , but I don't see this person with good eyes , when expressing opinions about creations of others .
I wish the best of the luck on your way , Max .

PEACE AND LOVE
