However, they intentionally write the music they do because there is a market for it. Frankly, I don’t care for some of it either but some of those guys are incredible musicians that can play rings around me. There are many professional musicians that sneer at this music. The two albums of mine that play on Whisperings are Solace and Quiet Place if that gives you an idea. It is the kind of music you play when you want to relax while reading a book or studying. Basically, it is relatively uncomplicated music that you might hear at the dentist. I prefer the latter because New Age has some negative connotations that have nothing to do with what these guys write. Some would call it New Age and some would call it Neo-Classical. The music of Whisperings is George Winston-like for the most part. A lot of us get together every year, normally in San Diego, but next year in Atlanta. If you get airplay on Whisperings Radio, you are a member by default. They are practically all members of Whisperings, a group of maybe eighty professional solo pianists (including me) that is the brainchild of David Nevue. If you are one of those pianists that wants to earn a living in music, I encourage you to read this Rolling Stone article.Īs it turns out, I know most if not all of the musicians listed in that article personally and many of them are friends. Today, I am going to give another perspective though not about the same genre. I dropped a lot of negativity a few weeks ago about professional music.
