Music making tools are pretty much available now to anyone in mainland Europe/USA. This is as good a way to sort the wheat from the chaff, at least in that small area that is 'popular catchy rock songs that appeal to a wide demographic' You're still pretty fucked if you want to form a free jazz ensemble, doom rock chamber orchestra or just about anything that doesn't fit in with the view/needs of marketing executives


That hits the nail firmly on the head.

Anybody who fancies themselves as a weekend popstar can download a few music making applications and knock something, using preset loops and bleeps. To all intents and purposes it sounds professionally mastered, too. Sometimes democracy and technology are a bastard, aren't they*?



*That's a joke, btw. Sort of.
