What the Pittsburgh music community is looking for

     As the founder of Muzaik, I get to talk to a lot of musicians. When I tell them what Muzaik is, they love it. The conversations start with a bewildered look as I explain what it is. Once the explanation lands, they get excited. Eyes get bigger, body language loosens, people get more comfortable. They know I'm not trying to take anything from them. Just building this community. Face-to-face. The crack of a smile is all I need to know. We're all looking for the same thing. To come together. Community, especially in the creative realm, is crucial.

Everything is a good idea in a vacuum.

What is music, or art for that matter, but a culmination of everything you've ever heard and experienced, put through the eyes you see the world with. Now, if there are more eyes that are seeing that message before it gets put out into the world, the worldview of the art gets bigger. I think that is just absolutely beautiful. Reality is perception. Your reality changes once there is another point of view involved. It gets bigger.

You get bigger.

Post. Hustle. Make.

  1. I mentioned the local cable station and my being a producer there (in name only; i hadn't actually executed and worked to create and air a show). My motivation for going through the producer training there was to do a show that was an interview / performance showcase for local musical talent. This is not a novel idea - things like this have existed since the 1970s with "TV Party" in Manhattan.
    If you think you want to talk about expanding on this idea, let me know!

New Beginnings

     After toiling with the intricacies of the music industry and finding where I fit, I don't think I fit in just yet. I need to create something(s). I decided to take Muzaik in the direction of what I know, movies. I am starting a new club that meets every week to make movies. I just want to be a part of the creative community in Pittsburgh so we can make some really cool shit.      How do I inject myself into the community?      Cause friction.      By going out and posting where Muzaik is going, I will allow others to follow me. If the leader isn't going anywhere, they won't have any followers. I'll be going to creative events -- whether it be a comedy show, music, $5 movies around town, movie meetups, concerts, open mics etc. -- and writing about them. I will be recognized by those who already know me and people who will be seeing my face more and more.      So go to these events and take pictures. S...
