The Adventures of S.T. Musician: Expanding.

Posted by CIEIRMusic - July 24th, 2023


The following takes place not too long after this got posted:


Harmony: Really? Really S.T.? You did a rap.

S.T.: Yes Harmony, I did a rap.

Harmony: ........REALLY!?

Light: Easy there Harmony. Sorry S.T., it's not that we don't agree with how you handle the music, but we just don't see how after years of Synth, Orchestral and occasional Rock Music, that you'd just do rap. Granted someone liked it otherwise you wouldn't have gotten a vote. What were you thinking?

S.T.: Well as a musician, I wanted to try new things see if it'd stick. Like when I did those royalty free video game albums. Plus our creator bought a keyboard to help expand on his work and is slowly on the verge of completing his soundproof booth.

Light: Stop breaking the fourth wall S.T.

S.T.: The other reason is, well. Today's rap kinda sucks. When I was a kid, Rap was either about Comedy, Love, Gangster Stuff and whatever fucked up things Eminem could come up with to further shock the world at the time. Now the old timers are beginning to lose their edge and any amateur with Autotune and FL Studio thinks they're on the same league as them when every single lyric they write pretty much says "Buy my shit or I'll kill you." I may not be good at it myself, but I at least know the difference between good music and shitty music. It doesn't take a great musician to recognize bad ones.

Harmony: I guess that's understandable. A lot of the Genres have been taking nose dives because either the greats are dead or too rich to care anymore. Granted there are some out there that do their thing for a good cause like Live Aid. Does this mean you're giving up on music?

S.T.: Fuck no. If anything it makes me want to keep going. People have to point this stuff out. We're not saying we need to go back to old school or even eliminate new stuff in general, but we need to bring back the very thing that makes music what it is. The heart and soul of the musician.

Light: You swore we'd never speak of that.

S.T.: Well it's safe to say it needs to be spoken. Not everyone likes our music. Hell not everyone likes the guy that created us. But we at least worked hard on our stuff. We never got a free ride on everything. We put our hearts and our souls into every piece of music we create and regardless of how much the odds are against us, we don't give up. We try new things to show that we're still around. We see what people think, but weigh in on whether or not we should care. A lot of modern musicians nowadays are using AI, to "Improve" on their work when in actuality, the AI functions as the digital equivalent to the Nerd helping the Jock finish their homework for them. At least when our creator uses Alter Ego for your voices, he writes his own lyrics. Even if they don't rhyme all the time or sync well. The heart and soul of music is gonna die if we don't resolve this now.


So I say to you all? What would be a good way of bringing the heart and soul back to music?


Harmony: .......you know that while we're aware there's an audience out there, that as far as this universe is concerend you're just talking to a random wall right?


Light: Forget it Harmony, I honestly think he's gone fucking nuts this time.
