hehehe that's an idea, it would act as a solid moongel at the same time.
PLUS......the audience has no clue. Hell, they don't know if it's a high end custom cast, hand hammered by a guy with a turban and bare feet, lathed or not lathed, or how much you paid for it. And unless you're a real showman, they're probably not even watching you. Sorry, but that's the truth.
I keep these opinions in mind, no mistakes, for later.
But so far there was never a thought about people in my mind, you guys brought it up and I consider it. At the beginning of the thread there was me, the cymbal and the sonic waves it produces, the link between me and these sounds. Really, that was my only context.
I try to appreciate what the instrument can do for me because when I play it, I want to appreciate the sound waves it produces. My project with the instrument is to replicate something I like very much, it's the best thing if I want to keep doing it, for now.
I don't underestimate how uninterested people can be.. and I would be a ass to think am better, I am the worst.
At this point I just try to get satisfaction for myself and if I ever reach that goal, then after, I'll think about people and their tastes.
The next part might be offensive but I don't have a choice, it's part of me. My practice is a hobby, the best thing I see right now, some day, it to eventually select people to come play here in my house, with me, at low volume, a high sensitivity experience with no judgements, just to appreciate music for ourselves.
IF this works and it feels great, then i'll think about the commercial part of music. Right now It's not going to be a job or anything involving high responsability, stress and money.
I just like jazz and progressive.
