We are, in essence, simultaneously alone and connected every second of our lives. We yearn for individuality, but we need the collective to acknowledge and support our singularity. I think about this often in regards to my band, particularly when observing how much has changed since I was in college learning how to be a professional musician. The internet has exploded our old concepts of connectivity, collaboration, and social networking. Putting up a website and simply listing two-dimensional information is denying the changes that have taken place, and are yet to be made. A holistic connectivity is now the narrative of change. We are our fans, and they are us. We connect by blogging about our passions, emotions, and experiences, we post photos, lyrics, hopes, frustrations, inspirations, links to other creatives; we give ourselves to the collective as multidimensional beings, not just artists. I think by connecting in this way for 15 minutes, change is certain. This post really pinpoints the dichotomy of human existence.
