  • 3 Denkweisen:

    • Technology is the devil

    • How can Technology work for me?

    • What is missing? (Visionäre … Evolution of technology)

  • Get your voice heard … Shift your perspective!

  • Musiker & Manager

    • Musiker (Noten & Co sind wichtig)

    • Manager (Zahlte sind wichtig)

  • Quote/Zitat: "The percentage of managers in the music business that are only interested in your money is about the same as the amount of musicians in the business that are only interested in beeing famous.“ (Steve Vai)

  • Jede Rechnung geht an Steve Vai: Manager, Labels, Promoters, Record Sales … alle müssen Steve Vai eine Honorarnote schicken (invoice) es geht nicht über einen Manager!

  • Again: Keep/Control your publishing

  • 10% des Einkommens auf die Seite geben … das gilt für alle Einkommensschichten. Wer mehr ausgibt, als er einnimmt, ist am Arsch!

  • Jetzt ist die beste Zeit für unabhängige, selbständige MusikerInnen

  • Zappa: Black Page: nested tuplets

  • Wir sind alle mit einer Talent geboren: der Fähigkeit, ein Talent zu entwickeln (5% Talent, 95% harte Arbeit)

  • Perfect Pitch ist "angeboren" ... statistisch gesehen hat 1 von 10.000 absolutes Gehör ... in einer japanischen Studie "lernten" diese Fähigkeit 20 von 20 Kindern im Zeitraum von 12 bis 18 Monaten

  • https://www.audible.de/pd?asin=B01F4D4SVO&source_code=ADEORHP072315902Y ("I just played it")

  • Deliberate practice 

    • Konkrete Ziele, definiert (3x fehlerfrei langsam, etc.)

    • Fokussiert und motiviert (selftalk, emotional dabei sein), voll involviert

    • Feedback: was geht, was geht nicht ("wie oft hast du die Passage richtig gespielt?")

    • Get out of your comfort zone ... push yourself 

    • Find your own way 

  • Don't try harder, try differently
