The only music writing I've found meaningful has either been background about how the artists created it, or someone sharing their personal experience with it. Usually, music writing falls into that 'dancing about architecture' category, often either 1. using vague adjectives that doesn't add anything (like a movie review just recounting the plot in summary) or 2. comparing it to other music. I have no idea if I can find a way to write anything about music in any way that would be meaningful, so the writing on this page is a sincere set of experiments to see if I can get anywhere close to anything.

"Why don't artists just get to the point?" -I often find myself thinking when someone has some very interesting themes or ideas in their work but there seems to be lots of unecessary filler between the revelatory parts. Why not just clearly state your vision? I think there are two reasons. 1. David Lynch (as an example) is famous for not speaking on the meaning of his art. As a visual artist, there are things you can communicate that you cannot communicate through words - if he could write it down, he would. 2. There's another aspect to this, fun. It can be fun to make, think, and write without meaning. It is fun to create and try to solve mysteries, it's fun to play within a genre, it's fun to make things purely for aesthetic reasons, it's fun to experiment. People aren't always trying to communicate with art, sometimes they are just trying to make something beautiful. However, that doesn't mean I can't find things for myself that weren't in the original text. -- While writing about music, I'm not always trying to find something serious, sometimes I just want to play around in the space of writing about music.
