Top Fans
Thank you for your "artist comments" at my Epic-Experimental Sounds Playlist.
Without question, the input directly from the creators of the works on fuzz playlists put together by engaged and passionate fans [as I am one of yours] adds immeasurably to the music experience. Indeed, the future of music discovery in the digital age will be based on these artist/fan interactions that can then be replicated throughout the web as all music sites become seamlessly interconnected.
I predict that all social networks will be seamlessly interconnected in a few short months. The phenomenon of everything coming together on these networks [in fact, everything is already only one-click away from everything else] will create tremendous opportunity for Artists who are willing to establish a "Web Identity and Voice."
I marvel at the many experiments that are taking place here [and all over the web] as you try to find the right approach that "fits". In this regard, each of you should strive to control your own destiny by becoming a "microcelebrity with 1000 True Fans. Clif has written an instructive blog with links that you should check out in this regard.
Of course, you have my permission to replicate any and all of my comments/reviews about you anywhere you wish. That is what the new era of digital discovery is all about. I hope it will help you to gain the broader exposure that you and your music deserve.
In the meantime, I hope other Artists will take the opportunity to comment on the songs in any and all playlists that your passionate fans have put together here at fuzz.
[I myself will repost this blog comment about Wayne Gerard Trotman in various places on this site (and elsewhere on the web) in aid of the effort to showcase your work.]

[cc of my note to Nixe follows]:
Nixe, you overwhelm me with your detailed comments on my playlist, Epic/Experimental Sounds. In truth, this complilation grew iteratively "like Topsy" after I put together three or four pieces that seemed to have a common theme that reasonated with one part of my minds-ear which is given to open spaces and limitless horizons. I then kept adding, re-arranging, and even dropping songs [as in the good old days on a rainy Saturday afternoon sorting through those vinyl round things called "records" now, sadly, in storage] to reinforce and add nuance to that feeling that I think is universal and hard-wired into our DNA. [You or listeners of this playlist may find of interest the link to a separate blog thread (just provided) that makes for thought-provoking reading, particularly as this playlist is all the while reasonating in the background!]
Your own perspectives will greatly aid the current and, hopefully, growing listeners of my "Epic Sounds" playlist [whoever they may be] in appreciating what was, to me, an intuitive effort to combine a sense of grandeur and adventure [caravans and sweeping vistas of the mind and spirit] with innocence [which was, indeed, why I added "Baibaba Bimba" - what an uplifting piece.] Both the "externalized and internalized sense of universal wonder" as you well describe the over-all intent of the playlist was created in positive counterpoint and marked contrast to much of what is dark and brooding in our music today - also, for a reason [but that is another subject].
Thank you for sharing such experienced aural and intellectual sensibilities with the listeners of these pieces who can now take their own view of the combined works of these artists to another level. To me, as I tinker with this list, it can only get better.
On my side, I will now try to pull in the artists who make up this evolving list to add commentary if they wish. I hope some of them will, but, of course, that will be up to them as I can appreciate that many artists prefer for each piece to speak for itself. To me, the "name of the game" to advance music in the web-based era, however, is increased, rather than diminished, engagement between artist and listener. Let's see what happens next here [if anything] as I "copy and paste" this blog thread on the artists' sites.
Again, many thanks.
