Myself first, anyone besides me who can endure it is most welcome to attend shows or buy CD's. The most copies of a single release I ever sold was about 1200, and a few were repeat customers, so I guess there are a small few looking for the same thing.so, if you're into it, please let me know whom you produce music for:
For soundtrack work, of course, the primary audience is composed of producers with dubious taste.
Never felt like I had much choice... it's sort of an obsessive drive... it's always been more trouble than it's worth on some level, but I can't stop...any insights as to *why* you make music for whomever you make it for would be great.
Contrary to some, though, it's nothing to do with any sort of catharsis at all. I'm aiming for a sound that's very impersonal, prim(ordi)al, and that's not tied to any sort of human-oriented frame, which sounds like a load of pretentious bollocks, but I don't know how else to put it briefly.

Incidentally, top marks to the original poster for using 'for whom' and not 'for who' in the thread title! Yay!

for me...anyone else is free to enjoy as well 
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

At the moment I write music to sell, but if I am truly honest.... it's not the music I want to write. But I just don't think there is an immediant market for the music I want to write, not enough to pay the rent
If I get enough money to take time off, I will write the music that I want to really write. I wish it was my hobby sometimes, and that I earn't my money elswhere.

I know for a fact that Donkey Tugger makes music for fat sicilian ladies with hairy armpits
