I don't think of myself as someone who "produces." I'm more of an emitter, really.

Actually, I would use the term "farmer".

Well, some farmers make music, but not all of them.

I'd chuckle if they called themselves reproducers.

Excellent, thanks for this. (I can get some serious mileage from this image with all of the braindead Trump supporters I encounter daily on social media.)

Yes it is possible. For example, I consider myself an astronaught. The real key is to deliberately avoid having any awareness of what an astronaught really does. Then I'm just free as a bird, but in space, and alive.

I wouldn't pretend anything myself !

...but by the fact that, handling all budgets while arranging musicians in Burkina Faso, I'm suddenly handling the rôle of "producer" in this country

"Producteur d' Artistes"

My hard evidence I present pertains to my own personal observation of what I see where I live. It may or may not apply to other places. But judging by the fact that even the big retailer Walmart and Costco music shelves are about 1/10th of the size they were 5 or 6 years ago. That's go to tell you something about the general state of music sales.

i go by how busy the local record shops are.
i see a lot of kids coming in and out wearing tshirts from classic bands and new stuff I've never heard of, carrying bags that contain physical 12" slabs of vinyl

is it as popular as it was? no, but then we didn't have a multibillion pound game industry to spend our spare cash on.

its changed, but it's far from dead.

I go by what I see the middle class spend their disposable income on. So I am in an area and socialize with people that are all roughly in the similar household income bracket and stage of life. No lawyers or doctors -- all just regular folks -- but also no low income . So everyone is sort of over 35 with kids in the burbs. Entertainment and socializing consists of a lot of house parties and different people take turns putting no the house party. The cost is anywhere from $300 to $500 for a house party. About 30 to 40% on food and the rest on alcohol. Not a single dime goes to music or entertainment. Its all streamed from an iphone from YouTube or something else over bluetooth party speakers at insane volumes. I compare this to house parties my parents had where I remember the old geezers showing off their big LP collections and stereo systems and so on. I also make it a habit of asking people who put on the stream who their fav artist is and whether they bought the release or not. I actually don't think a single person ever answered yes. And they are a lot of Drake and hip-hop and latino music fans who like to get wasted on hard liquor at parties.

My point is, people have no issues blowing $100 a good bottle of booze, but no one wants to spend a dime on music.

your middle class friends are shite!
my working class friends spend double that on the booze alone, then theres the "other inebriating items" and theres usually at least a dj, if not local musos up for a jam

working class people know how to party, because they also know theres f**k all left to do

middle classes live to work, working classes work to live.

have iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!

you wanna bring class division in to it?

i was once invited to a party at a more affluent friends house.
people were "talking"

(not shouting)
there was some music on in the background but i couldn't tell you what because i could barely hear it over all the people "talking"

i was home by half past ten.
the same bloody night

Is it possible not to laugh when someone says calls them self a "producer"?
