Music Planet 2017 shares music tips and ideas, ranging from music production to music consumption. Established in 2017, Music Planet 2017 is a blog site dedicated to providing relevant information to the on-line music community. Founded by a guy from Malawi, Music Planet 2017 envisions itself of becoming a global competitive music blog, giving pertinent information to its audience.
“Where words fail, music speaks” Hans Christian Andersen
To my readers,
This article has been published not because of recent circumstances where a music artist voiced out her political views. Surely, the political remarks she took to the social media and this article are entirely coincidental, and different.
Well, music has existed for centuries, and so is its relationship with politics. And judging from the chronicles, the relationship has been harmonious, and sometimes sour. My Word-Web dictionary defines politics as activities and affairs in managing a government. Any government is formed by the people, and it is there to serve the people.
As quoted in one of our published articles (Music_Quotes), music surely has the power to change the world because it can change people.
People get frustrated when leaders do things contrary to the former’s expectations. People get frustrated when the same mistakes are done over and over again. One blunder after the other makes people [to] question the leadership style. When enough is enough (to the point where mediation between the concerned parties fail), people run to the streets.
Similarly, music has always served as a vehicle for expressing social and political discontent (Morvaridi, 2016). When there are issues of unfairness, injustice, corruption or even nepotism, music speaks. When the majority is subjected to cruelty, music speaks.
Historically, music is seen as a weapon for fighting inequality. At the peak of racism and violence, music spoke. In the recent years, there have been widespread campaigns against those in authority. One notable instance is the Black Lives Matter movement which is against police brutality, discrimination and any form of violence. And music has always supported similar causes.

Hans Christian Andersen was right when he said “music speaks where words fail”. Again, Best and Kellner (n.d.) in their writing titled Rap_Black Rage_and_Racial_Difference said and I quote:
“Rap artists like Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Ice-T, N.W.A., Ice Cube, Salt ‘n’ Pepa, Queen Latifah, Wu Tang Clan, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tupac Shakur, the Fugees, and countless others produced a new musical genre that uniquely articulated the rage of the urban underclass and its sense of intense oppression and defiant rebellion”.
Music serves a number of purposes in politics, more especially when elections are nearer and nearer. Trend has it that artists use music to endorse a particular candidate. We had music during the 2009 Malawi elections supporting some presidential aspirants for the hot seat. The same happened in 2014. And now that elections are drawing closer, some artists are busy doing political music. Apart from selling party ideologies to voters, some artists use music to earn easy money from politicians.
[Remember the song “My President” by Young Jeezy Featuring Nas which was released a decade ago] [And the song “Odi Uko” by Fredokiss from Malawi Featuring Young Kay, GD, Marcus, Barry One…..]
Indeed, music has the power to make a difference. It is a voice for the voiceless. It brings hope to the hopeless. And at the same time, politicians use it to pull potential voters. So, should musicians mix music and politics?
There are things that touch our hearts and soul, but cannot be touched. Music is one of those things. So, below is a collection of music quotes inspired by the beautiful music we listen to every day.
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”. Bob Marley
“Where words fail, music speaks”. Hans Christian Andersen
“If music be the food of love, play on”. William Shakespeare
“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening”. Aretha Franklin
“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent”. Victor Hugo
“The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers”. Roy Ayers
“Complete strangers can stand silent next to each other in an elevator and not even look each other in the eye. But at a concert, those same strangers could find themselves dancing and singing together like best friends. That’s the power of music”. LZ Granderson
“Music is an expression of individuality; it’s how you see the world. All art is, for that matter. You take how you experience the world, interpret it, and send it out there, express it; whether it’s sculpture, dance or singing”. David Sanborn
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician, I often think in music. I live my day dreams in music. I see my life in terms of music”. Albert Einstein
“Music can change the world because it can change people”. Bono
“Without music, life would be a mistake”. Friedrich Nietzsche
And for more online collection of music quotes, you can visit the following:
Truly, life is beyond living for ourselves. Some of us are here today, simply because someone did something good back then. We are, because they are.
From childhood, we’ve had different backgrounds; possibly worse than others and too harsh to bear. And whenever we tell our story to our loved ones, children or siblings, we burst into tears; feeling very remorseful for the bleak and difficult life.
Luckily for some, it is now history. We are forever thankful when we think of how far we have come; either by our own force or somebody’s help. Our history is our testimony, always having that “if” part.
”If it wasn’t for that man, I wouldn’t be here…. He saved me.”
“She was a total stranger to me. I didn’t know her…I mean I have never heard about her. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would have become of my life….”
When an artist gives back to his or her community, and in good faith, we feel good. We feel good because it clearly shows that s/he has a sense of responsibility. And it is a lesson we can all draw.
Some artists pay tuition for needy students at higher education institutions. Some have to some extent paid bills for destitute families. And some have embarked on a number of projects, from building health facilities to making water available in rural areas.
Sorry if this will anger you but I believe it is a fact. Some artists are still in the industry because of us, the fans. It does no harm to give back to the community. And there are people constantly looking for our help out here.
we can make a difference out there (pictures taken from the world wide web)
We give today, and we are more blessed tomorrow.
True giving is from the bottom of the heart. We give not only because we have more, or that we no longer need what we have. True giving is far greater than all that. It is denying yourself the chance to enjoy whatever you have with the aim of putting smiles on someone’s face. Scriptural, it is a concept of putting someone’s needs ahead of our own.
Yes, you can make people happy. You can make this world a better place. You have a sense of responsibility. And it all starts now.
Hie! It feels good to bounce back again. I believe life is treating you well. It is, on my side. The past two weeks have been great when it comes to writing. And I hope the coming weeks will be greater.
Well, today’s work is simple. And it is for you, especially if you either have a dream job in the music circles or not.
Are you all that careful with your money? As an individual (or any other ordinary artist), how do you spend your money? Do you spend more on consumption or more on saving? Is your source of income narrower, such that your earnings equate to your expenses?
I would like to instill a saving culture in you. Many of us have at times failed miserably when it comes to saving. From time to time, we rush to dismiss the idea of saving by simply saying, “I don’t earn that much, so why should I save…. and for what”.
We get different monthly paychecks. But that difference does not mean we should not save. Let us keep the little that we earn, so that we are not declared bankrupt come tomorrow.
Truly, they are some people who work temporarily (like me of course), and saving becomes hard. By working temporarily; people work for a specific agreed period of time and once that period lapses, they are back to square one. Here, saving depends on some factors.
Firstly, if the pay is high for that job, then one is likely to save. Secondly, the duration for the job does influence the amount of money to be saved. And lastly, how often one finds these temporary jobs will also influence the amount of money to be saved.
Saving is hard for the first times, but you will get used. Believe me, it is a choice you will never regret. If you start saving today, you will be able to cover for any inconvenient discomfort that may arise. You will be able to cover for your daily expenses when your employer lays you off. And the more you save, the more the chances of investing in additional sources of income.
Well, people are doing a lot after saving and that is the motivation behind this writing. People are building houses. They are diversifying their sources of income. By saving, they are living happily.
It does not matter what kind of a job you hold. Keep on saving and you will prove them wrong someday.
We all want to succeed in life. We all want to do better. We all want things to work out for us. Those are our dreams; they are part and parcel of what we hold dear.
With time, we may have all that we want. And sadly, all that we have may be gone in a blink. That is reality, and we cannot push it aside.
It takes a tremendous effort to build a great reputation, and a little one to destroy it.
Sometimes artists get carried away to the extent that they forget who they are. They behave in a child-like manner, thereby failing to maintain their expected obligation. Normally, artists have their personal life, but that very moment when they fit into the celebrity cap, somethings just change.
Their following_list unexpectedly piles up. More girls are after them. Artists would want their presence to be felt, which of course automatically happens. They start partying, boozing, smoking, doing drugs, and they fail to lead by example as before.
Only a handful of artists remain faithful to their roots. They never change come rain or sunshine.
Come on, I am saying it is not wrong to party. Drink or smoke whenever you like. That is your life. But having too much will only make you loud, foolish and likely to blunder. Too much of a booze or weed determines your next action or fate. And the paparazzi are ready to bring that to the world.
Recently, there have been scandals of music celebrities caught in bizarre situations. Sometimes you wonder what on earth they were thinking. There are sex videos all over the internet. Their nude photos (selfies) are widely circulated almost everywhere. We hear that he or she was caught driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. And unfortunately, some die of drug overdose.
There have been stories of artists being apprehended, simply because they were found on the wrong side of the law.
Truly, no soul is perfect, but this world we live in gives second chances and possibilities. Let us refrain from immoral practices whilst we have time. Otherwise our caliber will gradually decrease, and we will have little or no character.
Always remember, when we die, we will be buried underground much longer, and there will be no time for repentant. So let us try to right our wrongs before it is too late.
It is more difficult to write well about music, especially when it comes to blogging. Successful blogging simply means sacrifice, commitment, contemplating, and patience. And that is why I hardly write; I hope you will forgive me for that.
Writing well about music is hard, agrees Robert DiYanni, who is at work on an anthology of contemporary writers. But a few ideas could help make your writing distinct, especially if you want to make your music blog successful.
Do your homework very well. What I mean is you should make reading a habit. This is important so that you penetrate deeply into ideas of your work. Visit any nearby library; possibly they may stock some books you will need. Do not be afraid to visit other blogs. They may have a better style of writing, and you may incorporate theirs into yours. Read from anything you come across that might be of any help; and it will surely help.
Listen to music. If you are blogging about music; then you must enjoy listening to it. My advice though is that you should never restrict yourself to only one particular genre. You could listen to all, or perhaps the popular genres. And you could never run out of ideas.
And music shows are a great place to be every time you have the chance. Trust me; you will always find something to write. And your blog could feature some of the artists you meet unexpectedly at such venues.
Write from experiences. Your blogging content could come from your life experiences. You could either blog about your successes or failures in music, and people would be happy to hear that out. In truth, experience is a better teacher.
Lastly, make blogging a hobby. Believe me when I say many of these music bloggers did not make it in a day. It is all years of hard work. Just don’t quit when you feel like your ship is sinking; Rome was not built in a day.
Making good music really feels good. Of course, you may have spent sleepless nights with a few disappointments here and there. But come on, your first project is finally done. Your music is ready; ready that you are so excited; very excited because you’ve done the unimaginable (lol). The feedback…the comments are just great. And your morale is super high.
But don’t feel too happy, as your journey in music has just begun.
Your project is great; but does not reach the intended audience. You make fine music, fine instrumental or a hunky-dory beat, only to sale it miserably. As an artist, you are good. Your artistic euphonies are first class. But that inability to market your talent is one big thing.
I have listened to a number of artists on various radio stations looking for someone to promote their talent. Few might have succeeded while many have failed. And those who fail are likely to quit. Even those who succeed dump their sponsors after a successful record sale. Upcoming artists lack the financial muscle. To either have or keep potential promoters aboard is another hell for artists.
However, technology these days has simplified the way things are done, thus can be used to allure promoters. Your songs could be uploaded on music websites simply to make yourself visible. You could send your best songs to any radio station to enjoy air plays. You could even refer people to download them from your personal website. These are simply a few of the things that might have put major artists on the globe.
A problem shared is half solved, but many of the upcoming artists fail to collaborate with existing artists. Do these new artists threaten the music industry? Not at all! By working together, artists simply share knowledge, ideas and experiences on how to make better music.
Finally, all artists need to pay attention to every input they receive; be it of praise or fault. Knowing your weakness is a milestone to success. Your flaws are not an obstacle, but rather an added advantage. Take note of every critique you receive, and use it as fuel to keep you burning. Remember, knowledge is power.
The struggle to get through in music is real, but you can triumph. Have a great day.
Generally, business is any activity that is aimed at making profit. Music is a business. Of course, it is an art form.
Not everyone is in music to make money. Music is a hobby to some; a source of fun, and some people like it that way.
But music has led to few occupations. A couple of professions exist because of music. Some players in the music industry earn a living through music. That can be the reason why artists are always doing music. They are certain that they will get something from it.
Artists reap the fruits of their labour in so many ways. Live performances are a source of making quick money. Reggae artists do that. Hip pop artists do that. Rock artists do that. Every artist can do that. But so many things must be considered in order to make a live performance remarkable.
We are not only looking at the money to be invested. Or the money to be earned after all the expenses have been deducted. We also look at the fame an artist has at that particular moment. An artists’ notable songs will influence the number of people attending the show. Practically we are saying, the more the famous songs an artist has, the larger the audience; hence the greater the pay.
Again, the quality of the team an artist has determines the likelihood of the performance. Here, we are looking at the managers, booking agents, the dancers, the guitarist, the pianist; generally all the people involved to make a performance happen. There have been cases of some artists proclaiming that they will perform somewhere, but fail to do so in the very last minute.
It hurts if they do not provide any reasons for the failure. Automatically, the fans will be affected, negatively. They will lose trust. And if it keeps on happening, the fans will stop believing every word the artist says. There will be low turnout at their performances, and genuinely, the money made will be low. All we are saying is that a better team can help in avoiding such situations from occurring.
Concert tours are also a way through which artists earn money. It is no different from a live performance. Only that these concert tours are ongoing for they last for several months, and happens in different towns, cities or countries. Concert tours are a way of promoting music (albums, mix tapes, etc.). Through these tours, an artist reaches a wider audience. By reaching a wider audience, one is adding new fans to the existing fan-base. The new fans are potential customers, and that is money right!
Today, singers are able to sell music on various online platforms. However, some people believe that the money these artists get from such platforms is low. Some even argue that these artists only earn a small fraction of the total sales.
In the previous article, we looked at a beat maker and a music producer. These guys are also men of affairs; they are able to get something from what they do. Hip-pop or rap artists are directly buying instrumentals from the beat makers. Some beat makers are busy creating accounts on various online platforms to lease or sell their instrumentals. It is a win-win situation. They earn money, and the customer gets value for the money. Value, because these are the same beats which are making these musicians famous. Value, because these are the same tunes we are always listening and dancing to.
A music producer records a song; and that is money, unless the producer is a friend. This is 21st century guys! There is nothing like free recording. Mixing and mastering is a skill, and skills must be rewarded. In some cases, singers agree to be giving their producers a percentage of the money the former makes, on the songs produced by the latter.
Music can be business and that depends on how well one plays their cards. Yes, we have only focused on artists (singers), the beat makers and the producers, but every player in music can make money through music. Many players including tour managers, road managers, booking agents, publishers and promoters are making money in music. And you wonder how. We hope that is going to be the talk for another time.
This is why some songs are better on radio and poor when performed live. It is not because the artist never prepared, but because the beat was just sophisticated and too complicated….. It is also the reason why you hear a music fan complaining that the show was merely a waste, as the artist used a CD with recorded speech or song….
Introduction
Hie there! It is nice to be back with another interesting piece. We hope you all alive and kicking. Last time we posted something, it was just a brief view of what music is all about. Today, we all have to go a bit further than that. Precisely, we will look at being a beat maker and a music producer. We are certain that you have heard one or both.
These two guys are in certain cases used interchangeably, but they are separate. For some musical genres, there has to be the instrumental or the beat. An instrumental is a foundation for some musical genres. Simply put, it is a product of putting together different musical instruments. For instance, if someone plucks a guitar and another beats a drum to the extent that there is coordination between these two musical instruments, then automatically a beat is made. An instrumental is important as it makes a song enjoyable.
A Beat Maker
Being a beat maker isn’t that cheap. What I mean is, it is a skill that requires untiring effort. A beat maker, just as the name hints, is somebody who makes beats or instrumentals. We believe there are two different beat makers in this world. There is one who relies on computer programming and the other who doesn’t.
So, there are a couple of things that every beat maker is supposed to have. Apart from the skill (which is something which can be learned), there also has to be a few things. Basically, there is always the computer and the musical instruments.
Computer programmed beat making
Computer programmed beat maker relies heavily on computers to create a beat; there is a computer and a few speakers (but not always, and can be headphones). The computer is programmed with some exceptional software which makes it possible to make a beat. There are a lot of beat making softwares (Digital Audio Workstations) on the market these days, but the most widely used are the FL studio, the Sonar and Studio one.
Generally, we employ this way to come up with beats, but not commercially. We do it for fun. If you are a beat making fan, you can show some love by commenting on this post. We hope everyone will give us feedback though, not necessarily the beat makers, lol. We desire to share with you some of the beats we make, hopefully very soon.
Computer programmed beat making is not that costly if we are to compare it to human manipulated beat making. All one needs is the electronic machine called the computer. There is no need to have the musical instruments. Everything you need is in the computer provided that you have the right software. One can make a beat using computer programs anywhere; whether you are in your bedroom or in a bus on a long journey.
Secondly, these beat makers are able to make sophisticated beats, for they do it out of curiosity. They are always like, “if I do this to this, how will this sound”.
However, it is time consuming in order to come up with such sophisticated beats. The mouse and the computer keyboard as the basic input devices make it difficult to insert the keys that one wants. One has to start all over every time they feel like their keys are not in place.
In addition, technical know-how is required. Remember, this is computer programmed hence you ought to know what to do, and at just the right moment. It is easy to make errors and difficult to clear the errors unless you are very familiar with the program. “Bad input always gives bad output”, so they say; thus Garbage-In and Garbage-Out (GIGO).
Human manipulated beat making
The other beat maker is the one who relies on human manipulation very much. This is where the actual musical instruments come to play. The musical instruments are recorded separately so that the beat does not fall out on human artistic display. For example, if you want to make a beat with a keyboard, a piano, a guitar and the drums, then you have to record all these instruments separately by playing them.
Skills and arts are preserved with such kind of beat making. Playing the instruments requires human creativity, and is a skill that is often exhibited. And that is exactly why we have these music schools, so that such skills are passed on from generation to generation.
Secondly, this beat making approach allows the making of beats that can be performed live by artists. This is why some songs are better on radio and poor when performed live. It is not because the artist never prepared, but because the beat was just sophisticated and too complicated (the beat making was just computer programmed). It is also the reason why you hear a music fan complaining that the show was merely a waste, as the artist used a CD with recorded speech or song.
The disadvantage of such an approach to beat making is that it is too expensive. The musical instruments are just expensive to own or have. Moreover, the musical instruments would require a large storage space. Many guys have reverted to the computer based beat making likely because of these two reasons.
And it is possible to use all these approaches to beat making. Some guys are probably doing that!
Music Producer
So, who is a music producer?
In a simple way, a music producer is someone who produces music before it is distributed to the audience for consumption. Besides voice, the instrumental (beat) is the raw material to every music producer. Voice is recorded in the studio using computer programs (for example; adobe audition and Cu base). In general, the music producer runs the recording studio.
Modern-day studio
Conclusion
Generally, there has to be that division of labour in the music industry as well. No artist has the ability to do all things; we mean they can do some things but not all things. The roles of a beat maker and a music producer are different. This implies that there is that specialization which leads to quality work; since everyone is always engaged in their field.
However, current trends indicate that a music producer is a beat maker, and contrariwise. This is why we pointed out that these two guys are used interchangeably.
How to become a beat maker and a music producer
There are no detailed guidelines to becoming a beat maker or a music producer. It is possible to bring a donkey to the stream, but it cannot be forced to drink the water. Similarly, the journey of either becoming a beat maker or a music producer begins with you. You have to make that decision yourself.
Then you have to put together the equipment to help you get started. This is the hardware, and includes computers, studio monitor(s), speakers (not any speakers though), headphones, microphone, MIDI keyboard/Controller, MIDI interface and cables to name a few. You will also need the right beat making and recording softwares. You may not necessarily need all these items; some may be added later as you progress.
And remember to choose a quiet room for all your recordings.
some of the hard wares one may need
Once you have set up your workstation, look for a few tutorials to help you get started. We bet there are a number of books that can also help you. YouTube can as well be a great place to start from.
After making a couple of instrumentals or producing a few songs, it is wise to let your friends examine your projects. Do not be shy about your first projects! Besides, you can visit fellow beat makers or producers. There are also a lot of online communities that you can join to share your ideas and learn from them. In these online communities, there are different people; you talk of professionals, people with experience, and people who are willing to help you, just for free.
It is a lot of fun making music. Do not stop practicing and always read widely. Your first days will always be sour! But do not let that demotivate you; you were meant to succeed anyway.
It was all intentional excluding the definition of
music…… but why?
Have you ever asked yourself as to what exactly music is? Well, when your favorite song is being played on the radio, you know for sure that whatever you are listening to at that particular moment is actually music. If someone comes remarking that the song is awesome; you will be like, “Well, yeah! This is good music.”
Not many of you guys have reflected deeply on this subject. Very few might have tried to, simply because they had been at a music school, hence had been given an assignment by their lecturer, and they tried searching for the needed info on Google. To many guys out there, music is just whatever they think it is.
We all have our own taste when it comes to music. Mind you, individuals are different as night and day. What you like might not be the same as to what your neighbor likes. But in the very end, it is all music, you know. We talk of jazz, rock, country, r n b, rap, hip-pop, reggae, dance hall, house music, pop among other music genres. Sometimes you wonder if a particular music genre (or sub-genre) exists after listening to one or few songs. Exactly, maybe because you are only restricted to listening to what you only get pleasure from. But still, your curiosity might carry weight. You would ask, “why not linking such a song to the other styles that are recognized throughout the entire world?”
Music is very important and that is impossible to deny. Seriously this blog would not be here if it were not for music. You would not have even spared your precious time going through this article. Our days would definitely be boring because there is no that fine tune we normally love. Think of a church without the hymns or the choir singing; how would the divine service be? Consider two marriage ceremonies; one with music and the other without. Which one would be worth remembering?
To some, music is merely an amusement
It is a fact that some individuals earn their bread and butter through music. I believe you have an infinite count of such individuals. Oh yes; all those celebrated singers! They are just a piece to the music puzzle. Consider the songs you recently listened to on your phone, in your car, or even those you downloaded from the internet. They are here today because of a number of guys, who by whatever means, did what they had to do in the very best possible way.
The beat in the music isn’t a disappointment at all. Probably the song pieces were crafted by the greatest song writer. The recording was exactly a masterpiece. Then there came the marketing for the song, from record labels to online music stores. You see, music is not as simple as A B C. A lot of players are just involved, though some are hardly recognized.
However, not every song does involve all these players in the industry. Shortcuts are often taken, and unexpectedly, the song remains a chef-d’oeuvre.
Music is wide; not only is it confined to what we hear on the radio. We have had roommates who had a beautiful voice. Frequently we could hear them sing solely with their voice to improve their technique. That was music! We’ve been to a number of orchestral performances where different instruments (harp, flute, trumpet, violin, timpani, xylophone, piano, cymbal, marimba and the electric guitar) were being played altogether. We’ve been to a number of live performances by our favorite artists and their bands.
Music is made with a number of instruments. Besides, it incorporates a few vocal techniques; ranging from singing to rapping. On the other hand, music can as well neglect these musical instruments and the vocal techniques.
Someone might have bought us a musical instrument, yet we always find it hard to create that perfect tune whenever we play. Don’t worry! All the same we are making music; only that we are an amateur this time. And our outcome is going to be totally awful, in contrast to the professionals. With time and practice, we will heal though.
We’ve had a brief overview of what music is in the preceding paragraphs; and we surely opine that we all are in the same boat, and are now drifting ashore. However, let us not forget that a question was posed in the very beginning; an inquiry as to what music is, by definition. It was all on purpose to neglect such an explanation in the first place.
It was all intentional excluding the definition of music…… but why?
Firstly, the definition was omitted for the general purpose of this writing. This article gives a quick look of what music is all about. This article has been written to help the audience comprehend the very nature of music; so that they have a clean description of what music is, hence being able to come up with own definitions (exactly the accompanying point).
Secondly, there is no correct definition of music. This is because at the moment, it is a bit difficult to come up with an explanation that catches all the aspects of music. All we are saying is that the definitions are there, but they are incomplete; incomplete in the sense that they exclude a few cases which are unquestionably music. The debate about how music is defined is ongoing, and has been there for decades. Nonetheless, we believe that all definitions are right provided that they capture all elements of music.
As originally indicated, music is difficult; so expect competition if you want to venture into music in some way. Already, there is rivalry in the music industry between the existing players. Every artist is trying to get there, but only the strong does make it. Upcoming artists are as well posing a threat to the industry; but come on, this is a free world. There is always going to be a new singer, a new producer or a new beat maker every day. We cannot stop that; it is simply the way it is supposed to be, and it is certainly better that way.
