I don't mind when people say they don't like something of mine. That's alright, I mean I can't do anything about that, I know some people won't like some of the things I do. I just don't like it when people suggest I do something else, that's a very inappropriate thing to tell an artist. And I'm not pissed off, not at all, I just don't appreciate it when people suggest I do something which is
not in my creative interest. As I mentioned before, I would never tell a fellow artist how I want them to sound creatively, for I know that is an impossible demand. I am not trying to start an argument with anyone, I am just putting my feelings out there. They don't have to do with someone liking or not liking a track, just wanting/demanding change from an artist. So I want to put it out there that I feel disrespected by that one fact. I really don't want this to become a flame thread, that would be unneccessary. So I am going to leave my point at this
To answer your question, Patrick, I feel offended because I interpret some comments like 'better' or 'more minimal' as disrespecting my creative will. One cannot just go and make demands of artists like that. I mean, of course I am still going to do what I do, but I just feel disrespected when people want/demand me to do something creatively different. That is
not up for other people to demand of any given artist in my opinion. Just my personal feelings on this. I am not saying anyone else has to think like that at all, that would be silly of me to expect. I am just posting what I think.
I would appreciate it if we could all move on from this, I am just saying what I feel and I feel like a broken record writing it multiple times.
