As I share my musical creations, an intriguing question arises: Am I sharing how the creation makes me feel, or am I offering a musical gift, crafted to move the listeners in their own unique ways? What if my audience could personalize these creations, adapting them to resonate more deeply with their individual experiences and emotions? As both an artist and the CEO of Starchild Music, I frequently contemplate the extent to which I should allow fans to tailor artists' creations to better suit their needs. When I delve into the process of writing and producing, each song mirrors my own emotions and memories, shaped with a deliberately chosen sonic palette that holds profound personal significance. Consider this: what if my yet unreleased Rock Opera, "Moonlight Carnival," was released as a starchild, allowing listeners to play with and even replace the song arrangements and production I labored over for hundreds of hours? Would it still be my musical, or would it transform into something entirely different—perhaps something greater, akin to setting my creation free to take on a life all its own? As artists, should we be open to our creations being enjoyed in ways we had never foreseen nor intended? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this.
