If we think about music....beautiful melodies...someone must decide where each note goes...how it relates to other notes, etc.. This decission is the design or composition of the music...without it the notes would come randomly as noise! That is correct: music without design would be noise! If only one song were ever designed (composed) , we would all forever be hearing and playing the same song. Pretty boring!
As we know there are millions of songs...played many different ways.
There is classical, jazz, rock, folk, ethnic ....well many other types of music as well.
Sometimes an artist will take a classic song and play it in a contemporary way.
It would be like building a traditional table and making it more modern in some way.
Some think that all the great furniture designs were made over 100 years ago...if composers stopped composing a 100 years ago... all the music of the Twentieth Century would not exsist! What a loss. If we say the same thing for motion pictures, well there would not be any...zero!
It is fine if you are not a designer ,(composer) to play someone elses tune...learn the instument...how to hold it...how hard to press the keys...find your rythym...play
Like practising using a plane in the workshop or making a table that is someone else's design...there is much to be learned.... Change the song a bit, yes now your....designing improvising composing...giving it your personal touch...
We are better for all the people that make the world a beautiful place with new ideas....music that comes from their soul...
Our pieces of furniture can sing ...our personal songs...let them sing lets here that music within you!
