I’m lucky and blessed enough that my best friend and I have evolved in our musical tastes in a pretty parallel fashion over the years, despite him living three hours away from me for the past ten years. In high school it was all Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Queen, etc. Then we got into jam bands - Grateful Dead, Phish, String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic… fast forward to our late 30s, and we’ve been completely bitten by the electronic music bug over the past couple of years. Not that we don’t love the music we’ve always been into, it’s just interesting in a very amusing way how much our tastes and the music that we record when we jam together has evolved in a very electronic direction - at the same time even though I only get to visit/jam three, MAYBE four times a year. These days we’re both big into synthwave and ambient electronic music, and I’m glad that we’re on that same page.
Life is a journey my friend. Forge your own path and have fun with it - it’s music!
