I’m still trying to figure out what my blog will be about. We had a couple seasoned bloggers come talk to us in a seminar today. They were saying that it’s better to find a niche rather than blog about a topic that’s too general since it’s been done/being done by more than a handful of other people. I imagine my first couple posts will be all over the place, trying to figure out what the point of this blog will be.
Seeing as music is a topic that has oversaturated the internet with blogs, it makes it tough to see how I can incorporate it in mine. I completely agree with what Graham Hnatiuk of PROGRESSIVE WINNIPEG said about how there will always be someone who knows more about music than you, listens to more music than you and is just better at music than you. So, maybe instead of blogging about the external sources of music that we hear, I’ll write about the creative process that I myself go through internally when creating music. It can’t all be internal though. I’m bound to be inspired by something I find beautiful or different. When that happens, maybe I’ll explain why it affects me that way and what ways I try and come up with to achieve that effect in my own projects.
Plus, seeing as I can already feel CreComm taking over my life, this just might be the excuse I need to put down the paper and pencil and pick up my guitar and hum a couple melodies.

On that, you know, I recently found a way to incorporate music onto my website anyways. It slipped my mind on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI only started doing it in January of this year I think, but I've been posting setlists of the concerts I go to. I'm not intimately familiar with all of the bands I see, but I try. And I see so many concerts that it is a worthwile and semi-regular thing. It's worked out well so far, check the "setlist" label on my site to see them all.
