How Bands and Artists Make Music By Christopher Tang At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

If you were to write down the names of all the bands and artists that exist or existed in America, you would probably take a lifetime and yet not be able to get them all. There are just so many! Being a member of a band or being an artist is something almost everyone has tried to be. The success of American Idol has already proved that this point is true.

Usually bands and artists are differentiated depending on the kind of music they make. So we have rock bands, pop bands, ‘boy’ bands, surf bands, punk band, and even the wedding bands are qualified as bands. Same when it comes to artists. It is interesting to note that when you think of bands, it’s not so much about the members that you think of but the music. The band or the artist is just a representation of the music that we enjoy. The music is always inside us. The bands and artists just sing it for us.

Different types of bands and artists not only make different kinds of music, but they also make music differently. Depending on how the members sing and what kind of instruments they play as well as what kind of music they like, the final product (song) that a band makes will be unique and one of its kind. The most interesting thing about bands is that although each member has a unique voice, this is very hard to identify in the song. A song by a band always seems to have just one voice, as if sung only by one person. The truth is that the song is sung by different voices, all at different pitches. But a good band has the ability to make different voices sound like one voice. This is when a band can harmonize.

This can at times also creatively inhibit a band, since the song must be liked by each member before it is made. This is difficult since everyone has varying preferences and when it comes to music, most people (singers included) cannot define why exactly they like a song. A band sometimes makes multiple songs, one after the other before they finally pick one song which they all will like. One might think of this as a compromise of an individual’s preference, but then that is in the nature of the band. A band is a whole and individual members are only parts. Thus the identity of the band is always stronger than that of its members.

Bands and artists have it differently when it comes to making music. Artists are free to experiment since they are independent of any other person’s preferences. Their likes and opinion are all that matter. This desire to be free and make exactly the kind of music that one wishes is what often drives band members to have solo careers or albums sooner or later. (As an artist it is very hard to keep your music inside you for very long). Yet many bands have lasted very long. This is because over a period of time members begin to make the ‘band’s music. They are able to relate better to their music as a band and also find a way to keep their individual tastes alive while blending them with the band’s music. Different voices, yet one sound.
