Spotify talk about developing tools to help music makers create music that works on their platform.

Hmm.

Anyone else see a problem? The logical conclusion is extremely formulaic sounds. Using unconventional structures or time signatures? Well that’s a no. Working outside an ABABCB structure? That’s a no. Weird sound design or texture? No.

Sound exactly like Ed Sheeran’s last record? Win!

Ed seems like a nice chap but his music never moved me like Miles Davis. His music never confused me like Pierre Schaffer and his music never tortured me (in a good way) like Portishead. His music never came close to hyping me like MOP.

Sorry Ed!

Keep music weird.
