Making beats takes hard work and dedication. You need to have a desire to learn new things and experiment with new sounds. A mistake many aspiring music producers make when they start out, is limiting their interests to just one genre. What I mean by this is that they don’t think outside the box. They will only like say, rap / hip-hop beats, and nothing else. This way of thinking will drastically limit one’s creative ideas.
The winner of The FAQs and Answers Really Useful Medal for 2008 is James Gurney (Gurney Journey). I decided that James very much deserved this award because of the vast number of posts he has provided during the course of this year (and last) which have been both extremely informative and highly educational. James is a one-man course in how to draw and paint!
People pay fees for workshops from tutors who know much less than James does! If you want to learn about how to improve your art I recommend spending some time digging around in James's archives. For example his collection of posts about Composition (23) and Lighting (32) are superb and set an excellent standard for others to try and emulate. This award is about making me think about the matters which are highly relevant to the activities of artists who are operating online.
Anybody who knows me well knows that I really like people who make me think! They're generally people who like to think about what to do and how to get things done and why one approach might work better than another. The previous winners of this 'gong' continue to provide many posts which are both interesting to read and also make me think. Lisa Call Lisa Call - Contemporary Textile Art often has an interesting perspective on matters to do with making art, the business of being an artist and getting things done.
Sue Smith (Ancient Artist) whose perspective on developing an art career after 50 prompts her to ask and try to answer some interesting questions. I'd also like to give a special mention to all those involved with Watermarks which is a new blog I'm involved with. I'm really enjoying the very thoughtful posts and the discussions (on the blog and in our ning community) about art and how to approach it which these are generating.
