After all is said and done, how do I see my own career panning out in the future?
Well, first of all, I believe that the wisest thing to do would be to keep in the back of my mind the question "Where is the commodity?" when working on material be it through songs, internet profile, the clothes I wear and what I believe in. I will certainly try to avoid the X - Factor approach to any career, as this seems to be very short lived and uncreditable, perhaps the idea of an independent musician is a good one, giving me time to work on plenty of material, keeping a fairly sustainble career with the ability to branch off into different things, I would like to experiment a bit with new ideas later on and perhaps take a more avant garde approach to things, but for now, I am going to have to watch how the industry evolves around the ever constant society we live in. Furthermore, if trends remain the same with illegal downloads, then I would have to try and come up with an idea that puts the physical ownership back into my product, or even go back a step and have different versions of a song on each recording. You never know, I might even try bringing out albums in two halves, each half containing a different code or file type that lasted 1 day before automatically changing the next, and each copy of the album only working with the specific corresponding codes for that copy, I could even then bring out some kind of mp3 player that only plays albums in this way, I wonder if digital pirates could be bothered keeping up with the constantly changing codes, after all, theyre not getting paid for it.
