They said what??? Part 1: What is this?
For this post I communicated with Kim (Belly Full Of Stars), Kees (Roofhare), and Jeff (Isotherme) for input. I've included links to their pages and Kees and Jeff's Eclectrocasts Podcast at the end of this post. So I asked these musicians about what different and bizarre comments and questions they've gotten over their music careers. Some are funny, some are bewildering, and some are downright rude. I plan to write a few posts on this, so for the first one I'm focusing on the style questions and how to handle some of these situations. "What is your music for?" What seemed to be a flowing theme through some of the comments we get is that our music doesn't fall into "popular genres," so some folks don't quite understand the purpose of creating something that feels more or less like a sound track, mood music, or a very thoughtful arrangement of sounds. Kees, Kim, and I have all gotten the question, "What is your music for?" or
