So you see, these 10 people don't care for tomorrow. Even though money's only a distraction from sadness, they can do whatever they wish to. Money means power, you like it or not. This is how the world was built. With currency. Previous civilizations used to trade/exchange items for items. That was their currency. Now, we built our modern dystopia and we invented this paper thing called ''Dollar, Euros, Pounds, Rupiah'' so on. In order to make music, you need to make money. You can't do one without one. Even with the current technology, a simple software on your Computer/Phone not enough. You need samples. Or let's say, you want to make other genres. I've always found these type of argument funny in some way or another. In some circumstances, for e.g > Let's say you are introverted, you know how to use Ableton's secrets. You mastered the skills. Let's say you only have a simple 303 and a synthesizer. So you can adjust snares/kick, make that ''Big-room'' sound when your track's not enough. So you see, it doesn't always comes to money, it comes to brain. If you know your environment, you know your ways in & out. Let's say you write, either poems or lyrics. On the other side, books aren't that expensive nowadays. Nowadays also there's not many people haunting the libraries but let's not derail. Let's say you done your book, you now ready to publish. Well, not ready. There's this side.. > The rise of self-publishing, cover design cost, editor cost, formatting cost, book promotion cost, cost of publishing an audiobook and additional publishing tools. You can publish a book for less than 800$. Passion you see, that's what you need. For everything you wanna do, you need passion and a bit of warmth madness. So I call.
