I knew things would never be the same...but I kind of thought with my situation and my side of things someone would call me and meet with me or something would happen. they just let me cook out there all summer โ๏ธ.
people really are ๐...
far as flow and groove go, I'm getting more influence on that from Hip Hop than anything else rn. I'm using rappers as inspiration..like I know what Kanye 8th notes feel like. Also Kendrick flow, how he can kind of displace things in weird places.
I play 2 and for the people. not really for other musicians. so while other saxophone players are busy trying to find the most dissonant note on the horn..I keep it Smooth and cool..
Viruostio saxophone players don't scare me at all. Soul beats virtuosity. it's like wow you just played 200 notes and the people felt none of them ๐.
I'm very confident but I'm not a narcissist..if I was I couldn't work with someone like Zephyr...it's hard to be on the stage with him lol hes awesome..Miller could never work with someone like Zephyr, he would be so jealous his head would explode..
King had this paranoia that I was trying to take over the band, and I thought that was so weird. like I'm an aid and you are the head director...that wouldn't even possible...I thought it was such a weird fear..
When I asked for some Musical responsibilities they said people would think
"why the fuck is this kid doing it when they have Mr. ross".....
I think what I did this summer answers that question...
when I took the position I was under the impression that I would be taking over Mr. Rosses responsibilities..they still kept him on paid him more and let him do the music stuff. I just did the stuff he didn't wanna do anymore...
in years past after band camp they would be like keep coming to practices and we will pay you. then I would go to a bunch and they wouldn't bring up paying me at all...so I would just stop going and felt weird about it....
