My Music

I'm writing an essay at the moment that discusses my music - my own creative practice.

It's interesting that I'm doing this at a time where my creative practice and what I do as a musician is in a state of flux. I'm midway between different genres, different ways of working and different ideas on what music and performance should be about.

I played an acoustic show last night at The Porter. I've said that I will be phasing out my acoustic work now to concentrate on a new musical direction - Tapper - however, after last night, I'm kinda wondering whether that is the direction I want to take.

I know I definitely want to explore some new performance styles and I'm definitely enjoying working on the Tapper project at the moment, but I'm not so sure I want to simply walk away from my acoustic work just yet. Just when I think I've done everything I can with it, it offers something new - it makes me happy.

I guess that's what it's all about. Doing what makes you happy, expressing yourself in the way that seems best at the time. Thinking about things too much, trying to make decisions on what to do, rather than just doing what feels right, can perhaps be the wrong approach.
