I Love This World

It's pretty incredible how many ways you can get involved with music. 

There's the standard way of growing up taking music lessons and honing specific instruments. 

There's the written part of music, focusing on music theory and composition. 

There's lyric writing - essentially poetry that can then be put to music by the same person or as a collaboration. 

There are studio musicians who add riffs and instrumentation to songs, who are wildly versatile. 

There's the music production side, where a musical ear is the focus. Mixing, mastering, finding elements and bringing them out; true artistry. 

There's the whole world of rhythm - beats, beatboxing, electronic music, layers upon layers taking what might seem like a single piece of noise and combining it with other sounds, however random, and making it musical art. 

Current social media has also cultivated collaborations that are mesmerizing, from vocal harmonies across profiles to taking the howling of a husky and turning it into a heavy metal song. 

The ideas and opportunities to play around and enjoy the world of music are truly endless. 

I love this world.
