For more context: In his book "Tools of Titans," Tim Ferriss asks Derek Sivers (creator of CD Baby) to share something he believes that others might think is crazy. Here's his response: I believe that music and people don’t mix; that music should be appreciated alone without seeing or knowing who the musicians are and without other people around. Just listening to music for its own sake, not listening to the people around you and not filtered through what you know about the musician’s personal life.

I answered true for the semantic sense of “pure” appreciation, as if music were simply pleasing sound waves, but I disagree with the general sentiment. Music is art which comes from lived experience in some shape or form. Things can look good for the sake of looking good in the same way music can sound good for the sake of sounding good. In lack of artistic meaning it becomes appreciation of human craftsmanship and technique. Unavoidably tied to one’s experiences and personal lives.

Depends on how deep the connection is between you and the artist. There are some artists I listen to a track or two because I just like the song. Then there are bands I listen to religiously because their unique sound really connects with me. It’s those bands that knowing too much can sour the taste.

I believe it is really hard to separate the art from the artist. Especially if the artist is not aligned with our values or we consider immoral. So I would say it is true, generally speaking. Nevertheless, I've voted false, as I already did that exercise before, and now I can say I am ok admiring completing assholes (in music , in writing, architecture....)

i think this conundrum arises because people are continually shocked by the fact that people they consider "bad people" can also be talented artists and create art that moves you. kanye is a good case in point. i once saw a tweet trying to rewrite his story, something along the lines of "now that kanye is wilding can we all agree that his music was never good." and i just found that weird. why is it so difficult to hold both categories in our head? i.e. kanye is wilding rn + kanye is also actually a really good singer.

absolutely not. you think music just falls out of a coconut tree? "pure" is a fallacy: knowing ANYTHING interferes with "pure appreciation of music" and beside the premise itself being impossible, i have a person conviction that the opposite is true.

Interesting take - nowadays we’re told we won’t ’make it’ unless we’re constantly sharing our unique self with our audience, on the other hand, there are famous/successful bands whose music I love, but who are totally mundane outside of said music. It’s a strange one - each to their own I suppose 🤔

Art exists in the context of its creator, you can't disentangle the two.
