Why?

Why is it my goal to make not just every album, but every song, sound like it's by a different band? It's more than just to avoid repeating myself. It's more than just trying to keep things fresh and interesting for me, or to force myself to change or respond to changes as I learn and grow more as a musician.

It's got the added benefit of setting myself up for this: People who appreciate my music, and appreciate the majority of it or all of it as opposed to a few songs, are people who appreciate music of a wide variety. They don't appreciate my music because of my style or the sonorities of my recordings or the poetry of my lyrics or the quality of my singing voice or the energy of my band or the cred they get for listening to noise-fusion. They enjoy music, and so they enjoy my music. My music is music, it's not rock music.. it's not noise music.. it's not folk music. It's just music, and it's closer to all music than it is to ______ music.

As long as it's good music.
