Is Music rewarding?

[Sadistik]

Sure, the artistic expression is, but, Vintersorg, do you find being a professional musician as rewarding as you thought? Or is the ocnstant crap of the music biz too much to handle? I know one guy who was a musician for 10 years professionally before going to business school and becoming an investment banker. He says that graduating top in class and dealing with corporate cut-throats is easier any day than dealing with the music business. Thoughts?

Somehow i understand that guy perfectly. Fortuneatley Napalm records and Century Media treat us good, but it´s alot of hazzling anyway especially when you are on the road, not really Grand Hotel..hehehe.. and also you get anoyed regarding all the everyday hard work that does´nt give you anything back. But i´m in the industry to record good and innovative opus´but sometimes you get quite disturbed regarding things that does´nt exist in any area than in the musical field.....but...but... you have to hold your head up and strive in an endless continuance.

The music biz is cutthroat ! I think being in a band is probably one of the hardest "proffessions" out there. I commend those that stick through it and continue to release awesome material.

I'd like to thank here too.

I add to that too. Andreas quite a remarkable artist (judging for this and the job thread). It's amazing that after having to deal with the occasional crash with the music business that comes from working with 4 bands ( ), he still manages to create great music. I honestly admire his love for it.

I agree with astarte. Tack så mycket, herr Vintersorg!

needles to say "i'm in for that" huh????

Yep cheers to Vintersorg. Keeps up with 4 bands, creates ungodly beautiful music, and still has time to answer fan mail and post on his forum. Keep up the good work! You have my undivided admiration............

heheehe same here, admiration was the word I couldn't find before, it's getting late and my braincells begin to complain (I fear they will go on strike soon)
when once I downloaded Till Fjalls, I thought, "vintersorg????? what the....!!!!!" I got so amazed!!!!!!!!!!!
then I started to dig in the band and got even more amazed when saw the lot he had done in so little time, then I just falled more in love with the music (if possible) and felt in admiration for the artist. Now I own (originals) the four Vintersorg cd's thanx to mp3...
and well guess who's going to buy the spiral generator one???
