Q: Ive noticed that looking at the different music categories and genres on apple music, there is always one musician plastered on the button for that genre. That got me thinking about how the mug of an artist plastered on something is quite often how music is marketed, and that much of musical imagery is focused around the artist themselves. This is in contrast with using imagery that is not focused on a person, things that are abstract and represent the tone and feeling of whatever music they are paired with. Imagery is a big part of your music, so i was wondering if you had any thoughts on this.
A: music is kind of a secret/special sauce. So this begs the question: how do you eat just the sauce? The idea of paying attention to music separately is actually kind of weird...... and truly it's almost impossible to actually pay direct attention to only music. i think you'll find that SOMETHING has to take the focus. and often, by default, it's the identity of the artist the music is associated with
