Read @TheBlakeMorgan’s feature interview in this month’s @TapeOpMag, here’s an excerpt: “I think that 'creativity' is vastly overrated and ‘artistry’ is vastly underrated. Creativity is cool. It's about exploring and it's about allowing yourself to make mistakes. But artistry is about knowing when a mistake is beautiful, when a mistake has merit, is virtuous, and knowing when to keep it. Artistry and expertise are not getting the day in court that I wish they were, at this particular moment in history. They're being assailed, are they not? Expertise is critical and artistry is critical. So, when the CEOs of various ‘friendly’ tech-overlord corporations talk about embracing creativity, I know that they don't know what they're talking about. Musicians aren't really after creativity. Such as I've experienced it, they're after artistry. The records I love, regardless of the decade they were made in, are in possession of artistry, and artistry comes from intent.” —Blake Morgan (Issue #161, TapeOp Magazine) (Full interview with @larry_crane_producer at link in @theblakemorgan’s bio.) #recordingstudio #NYrecording #recordproducer #recording #mixing #blakemorgan #ecrmusicgroup #mastering #masteringengineer #masteringstudio #valiantrecording #mixingandmastering #masteringaudio #tapeop #larrycrane #artistry #musician @ecr.music.group
