From Nirvana To Beat Connection: How Music Has Changed

August 2, 2014

[divider]How Music Is Made[/divider]

The first question that was brought forth by Matt was directed mainly to Reed. Matt said that he had this romantic vision of him and his band mates in a dorm room at the University of Washington producing their music on lap tops. Pointing out that the way music was created in the 90’s was completely different than what it takes presently. Reed confirmed Matts romantic vision saying that it started with him and a friend plugging in their “shity laptops” and using the tools that were available to them. In this day and age, this is the story that plays out for many young musicians and artists.

Reed elaborated on the beginnings of Beat Connection pointing out that getting music out to the masses is mostly a contextual change. Back in the 90’s you would get a demo put together and send them out to the radio stations and labels. Now you’re essentially doing the same, except that the medium has changed to a digital platform.

Phillip was raised on so many different genres of music, it has given him a unique perspective into the ever evolving music scene. Trance music began defining his life at the young age of 14, but thoroughly enjoys any type of music equally. He sees the music as an escape from the daily doldrums of life and says music can change a persons life in an instant pulling from his own experiences. His only goal in life is to share wonderful music with people and take electronic music to a higher plain with more accountability and creating a safer environment for his friends.
