Also to give you guys a better idea of what kind of music I'm into and what I use as inspiration to keep improving.
Tipper is without a doubt the most amazing artist I've heard sonically and musically. I almost don't want to set the bar this high because it seems impossible. I honestly don't know how he has the time for the level of attention to detail he puts into his music.
I'm not gonna lie, I listen to stuff like this and I get anxiety trying to figure out how I would even go about attempting to create something like that. Part of me thinks "well maybe you should scale it back, find a artist that you feel you'd be able to get to the level of" But then another part says "No, don't limit yourself and tell yourself doing this is impossible or that it's untouchable".
To be more specific I'm not trying to copy his music. It's his production skills I admire. His sound creation, arrangement, how he gets everything so clear and nothing is cluttered. I'm very very far from it. That's not even an exaggeration I assure you. But I think a mark of great artists are ones who have a really good perspective on where they are at skill wise and aren't complacent. It's that balance between being ok with what you create and also striving for more.
I also recognize that a large majority of people probably don't appreciate music like this and the level of skill it takes to create, I'm good with that. But that won't give me an excuse to lower the bar and settle. I'm going to do my best to enjoy the journey, but for damn sure I've got a destination in mind and I'm gonna do my best to reach it no matter how impossible it seems.
I do want to have music be a bigger part of my life. But I think my goals have always been closer to artistic realization vs fame or money. I think as I continue my run with USLM3 my true desires will unfold and I'll start seeing what I really want out of life.
