  1. 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.?

  2. 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.?
