Mastodon Chat To I Like Music

ILM: What would be your advice to anyone looking to do something similar?

Brann: Well, I think that those people are probably out there and they are already doing it because they need to do it. It's not like I can't do this, I have to do this. I have to play the drums. I have to get these songs out. We have to. I would say listen to as much music as possible. Listen to all different kinds of music. Know your craft well. Play your instrument because you want to play your instrument. Play your instrument when you want to play it. I never took any lessons. I just played the drums because it was fun. Do it because it is fun. Don't expect anything out of it. The only thing you should want from music is the soul purpose of creating art. It's nourishment through your soul. It should just make you ahppy. If your band gets popular because of it, if you're able to perform for a lot of people and your able to make a living out of it then that's great. But that's all gravy, that's all icing on the cake. What you really want to look for are other people that you can play with that share your enthusiasm. People that you can create something really special with. No matter how many people hear it or like it.
