VS musical integrity

[Lordenlil]

I am just curious how much you care about fan analysis etc
compared to record sales. And what about your own vision.

How heavily do you consider:

1) Record Sales
2) Fan feedback
3) Artistical vison

Of course it's a stupid question in many ways, but still I am curious
about how this effects the direction in which the music takes and if
it in any ways is hindering the artistic visions and freedom. (yes,
based on my knowledge I'd say it's a natural progression, but..)

How much do you actually consider the surrounding musical
communities and requests when you create music?

I know you have probably answered this more or less indirectly
earlier, but this time I'm just asking straight

Well, I don't philosophize or think about how to compose music, and under what terms I do it. I never scan the market, checking out what's hot at the moment, and try to approach that, in that case I would have chosen to compose some trendy NU-metal, but I choosed the opposite direction nearly, composing "Visions....

All i care about is to fulfill my own visions and voyage, but of course I care about the audience...but I can't let others inflect my composing.
