Murphy has a lot of great insight to convey. Where I see a lot of people
getting stuck is where Industry and Art intersect. He’s talking about how
to write for the main consumers of music. The Industry is driven by the
bottom line which you could argue isn’t the way it should be and you would
be right, but it’s the way things are. Genuine art is better in all ways,
but only a few artists achieve huge success vis a vis the Industry. I say,
go for art. Do what is best for you as an individual and for music as a
whole because integrity and creating something beautiful is always better
than money. Having said that, a writer can still incorporate many of these
ideas to further their craft. It doesn’t have to be either or, it can be
both and.?
Very informative. Had to hear it twice to take it all in.?
That was GREAT, thank you :)?
Ralph Murphy Rocks!?
Any reason why Michael nor Ralph mentioned punk or something along those
lines, making that popular. Instead its been all rap, pop, or country. ?
Hit hore lol?
I’ve not joined TAXI yet as i’m still setting up a new studio, i can’t
recommend Ralph’s book enough, buy it people. I’ve had some success with
music xray (film placements) but i have a feeling that TAXI will be more
productive for me. Thanks for all the video advice/interviews – invaluable.?
