Modo atual:  estressado
hey everyone!
It's been awhile since i've posted a blog, but i've been having A LOT of stress recently. =[
I thought I would share with you why I've been getting stressed, and I want you guys to give me your opinions:

For the past while I've been having trouble with deciding what kind of exact style I want my music to be. I find myself constantly changing my mind, and having all these song ideas that i'm scared to develop, because they're SO different from each other. 
Sometimes i get ideas for just piano music, sometimes all this full-band powerpop music (with more electric guitar and real drums and stuff), sometimes straight up electro, sometimes a more ambient, experimental electronica (Owl City-esque), sometimes more acoustic music, and i just can NEVER decide =/
I just don't want my music to go all over the place, and from song-to-song not even sound like the same artist, ya know? 

Aside from that, I just have a little problem with managing all the different aspects of Somersault Sunday (e.g: Booking, promoting, a good live show, merch stuff, and even thinking about different ways I will release new stuff to you guys, and come up with surprises), but I guess that all comes with being in a "band".

At least this will all get easier when it's summer! :D

Before I end this blog, I just wanna say sorry for taking forever to write new music, and not keeping things all "happenin". If you hold off just a little longer, there will be a lot of new stuff, along with frequent updates this summer =]


So I really want to know what your opinion is on my little "dilemma" with writing music, just leave a comment below.

Awh, that's actually really cool that all of your music is different. Not a whole lot of music artists can do that. You've got some talent, boy. :]

hm, quite a dilemma...
well, maybe having some different styles mixed in would be good; it would make it more exciting. (:
but, you just have to make sure you don't stray too far, and sound completely different from song to song.
or, maybe you could make a few, put them up, and have people vote?
orrr, just go with what you love to produce. like, if you have a favorite, then go for it. 
anyway, im sure everyone will still love you no matter what you decide to do. (: ♥

&&maybe you can get a friend of yours who is really organized to help you with all of the planning//promoting things that come with being in a 'band' haha, (:

you're an amazing artist, and your music keeps me listening over and over. 
so many people love and support you; and still will through this. (:

i hope i helped, even just a little bit. haha. (:
best wishes. ♥

definately keep that music different :)
because if you have the talent to make music in all sorts of genres, then go for it.
but i agree with kerry,
dont sound totally different from song to song,
but you should mix in a few different styles because it also attracts different kinds of fans :)

well first off im sorry that your stressed =[
and second off i like how you have many diffrent types of music. Its unique and it really makes you stand out from all of the other artists out there. I think that you should keep doing what you are doing. I love to listen to your music and it suprises me everytime. =] Just keep doing what you are doing. Even if it is diffrent types of styles, it just shows how much you are into music. AND you are really good at doing that :D
Just  keep up your amazing work and you shouldnt stress out. Your making your fans really happy =]

You should experiment before officially putting the songs on here. Just make your music on what comes to your mind, and listen through them. See which ones you like then put them up for people to listen! Plus, it doesn't matter if you change your music, i will still listen and totally LOVE it! : D good luck hun!

Well i think that with covers and such
it doesnt really matter because
its not YOUR music, its just your personal twist,
but with your actual stuff i like  the electro
like Fake :]

Hey Ari i think that its really cool that you can make all types of music, i also think that instead of holding off you should  make those songs and then put them on your myspace for the world to hear because its very unique and Holly is right not many artist can do that.

No one said you ever had to stick to just one type of music. Do what your heart tells you to do. When school is out in a few days you will be golden. All you have to do is spend time doing what you love. The music that your mind makes for you is what you should put out. I'm sure all your fans would love to hear whatever you make. That's what makes a true fan. :) <3

I'm excited for the new stuff. :D
But, with your dilemma, I think you
should just do what makes you happy!
If that's being all over the place, do it.
But maybe all of your songs could have like,
A base so that they all sound somewhat alike.
Like, have all your tracks include an acoustic guitar,
Or piano or electronica or something like that. :]

Whatever it is,
I'm sure it'll be amazing<3.

I just want to say that I think you're very annoying, you post 20k bullitens in a day and I'm sick of seeing that stupid default of yours. And no one cares if you want/wanted to get into Cornerstone and no one likes your music so get used to it. Thanks :]

dude. i'm going through this exact situation. EXACT
just don't worry about how different they sound.
do what you do.
if you write something. no matter what style it is.
write it.
something else comes up in a different style
write it.
don't hold yourself down by style or genre or whatever.
express yourself
isn't that what music is about?
:]

you should try putting different styles together and see how it works out. Or you can do a couple songs in each style and post them somehow and see what your fans like the most. Most of all don't make it something unoriginal and not you. Make it what comes from the heart and from your passion.

Most electronica is unsignable, labels rarely sign electronica bands anymore (of course if it's not your goal to get on a label, disregard this) I would say go for power-pop.  But you should have some all acoustic songs too(piano would also be sick), diversity on an album isn't always bad.  Look at Copeland.

I think you should keep your sound natural.
You do really well with acuostic.

Keep trying different things and mix it up.

Doing what you love isn't soppose to be complicated.

Maybe one day you feel pissed off and want to go all out with the drums and gutair.

Maybe another you're just really happy and want to play your ukalalee.

Whatever you decided. Just remember to be true to yourself and your fans.
We're behind you 100%
We're not going anywhere.

We love you Arii

summer showers(R.I.P)

 
ari, listen. okay i know you have had this problem before. and like you said a while back YOUR YOUNG you have time to think on what you wanna do.
try to make a full band, it would be easier for you and other band members can share ideas instead of just you trying to figure everything out of your own. having a full powerpop band would be really easy for you.
you have a shitload of talent ari. i love you so fucking much, you dont even know. your a music machine! you can play alot of instruments. you are amazing. dont put your self down on anything. some of the bands that are big are because of their looks. seriously, idk why they get so big because they are "hot" "sexy" or "cute" they should listen to the music. im not saying all the big bands have this case but just a few. ari to be honest. you are the cutest guy thats making music right now. and i mean this because we are bestfriends and i love you alot. im not trying to dramatize all of what im saying, i just have a lot of good things to say to you because i have a big heart when it comes to music and my friends. so what i am trying to say it do not be stressed out over ANYTHING. you deserve to be relaxed and happy of what your doing.
i cannot wait to see you in PA soon. I LOVE YOU!!! <3

Do what you want. Now is the time to play around with everything you want to do and figure out what you think sounds best. You're a kid, and you're learning. So, I will reiterate, do what you want. As long as you're learning from your music and you're putting part of yourself out there, it'll be worth listening to. Through working with all the different styles, you'll figure out what suits you best, and what allows you to say what you want to say how you want to say it.
The Panda Expressions applauds you.
Love, Jeanette

I think you should concentrate on what the song ideas main genre of music and do different music also. Differing music makes music even more amazing!

Haha, Don't be sorry, it's stressful!

RawR.! It's Renee

 
To me, i think u should do what u want. many artists don't have different styles of music. i think it would be a cool twist. it shows u r good at many styles of music. i think u shouldnt hold back i think if u have an idea for a song that is a different style, go for it because they will turn out great.

although you may think your music is all over the place different, you do retain certain elements in all of your songs. i had the same problem, and although some are a tad away from normal, you can still tell they are by the same dude. keep on doin' what you do!:)

heyyy dude, i rly think u should just go ahead and do all the dffrnt styles that are going on in ur mind. I mean, if music is rly abt expressing urself, then thats what u should do. Plus, as for listeners, im sure most fans wdnt mind, b/c honestly, who listens to just ONE style of music. i mean, i was listening to underoath like 10 mins ago but now iv got nevershoutnever on. lol. Basically, i realllllly think u should just do all the styles u want, just whatever expresses what ur trying to express :)
