Oh and one more thing about supporting...
I've been here since early 2000 or so (under the name of Jael first), and during these years i've praised some of the musicians here untill happiness made them dizzy. In these first years there was a guy here, Edoardo Fainello known as Edo, later on as Darkened. I still consider him to be one of the most talented guys we ever had on board. Some of the musicians here still have a hangover i guess, because he invited most of them to join him in a common project. As it turned out later he rejected most of the contributions and finished the album by himself, for he was the sole composer. Anyway during the years that led to this, he was looking for support as most of us do. He used to play as keyboardplayer in a band before but wasn't to sure about his compository skills and he had only recently learned to play guitar. I was one of those guys to tell him what i thought of his compositions. To his surprise, he told me, i was one of the few to tell him what i liked, but also what i disliked. Later on he said that my honesty had brought him to a higher level.
All i want to say by telling you this story is that it's good to read that people like what you've made, but they better be honest. When i comment on SC by saying i like a certain track i DO like that track. If not i won't write it there. This forum is a better place for constructive critisism i think. I'm 49 years old right now, so i guess i've got half a life left to learn. If anyone takes the time to comment on one of my tracks please be direct, we all will benefit. There are ways to be polite AND straightforward.
Ps. Edoardo has stopped publishing music. He has thrown himself on writing and acting.and currently runs his own theatergroup. Bravo to that.
