What are the biggest downsides of the music industry right now?

Questions from readers to Mr. Ellis Christopher, That's a very broad and relevant question. However, there wouldn't be enough space to get it all out. Not to mention there would be some that wouldn't like my response. So let me put it gently. I miss real arrangements, horn players, strings, layers of real guitars and the varity of ideas and players on a record. The structure in which product is released, distributed and focusing on the actual career and success of an artist or release. Fewer artist are signed today, not to mention budget's are way smaller. Executive producers, arrangers and artist management are almost unheard of today. I guess my response would be the creative process. What's going to really kill that creative process will be A.I. as much as I'm into advanced technologies, it will change the industry forever. And furthermore, the first successful commercial release of an A.I. music project will completely kill the creative aspect of the industry. I've said all of that to say, just as a list of project credits have disappeared (executive producers, writers, arrangers, session players to produced by one guy) so will today's producer/writer. It will read like Engineered/Programmed by and music by A.I., guaranteed. The technology is already being developed. Look for late 2023 early 2024 to see the first release, oh and released by a technology company, not a label. Regards, Darrell Ellis

Mental Illness "A Private Hell"

Yet again mental illness takes the life of a loved one leaving in it's path countless of victims left to suffer with little to no understanding as to the cause, the reason or why. As I wake this morning to read the morning headlines "Anthony Bourdain dead at 61" and less than four days earlier "Famed designer Kate Spade committed suicide". What was not mention in any of those articles are the thousands of unknown suffers and families that are left with no answers as to how we tackle this going epidemic. The suicide rate in the United States has increased in recent years. Studies have shown that the risk of suicide declines when people call the national suicide hotline: 1-800-273-TALK. There is also a crisis text line. For crisis support in Spanish, call 1-888-628-9454.

Caren Ann Campbell | Darrell Ellis | September 1, 2018 | Birthday Remembrance

Happy Birthday Caren. I wish you where here to celebrate this special day with me. I've missed you each and everyday since you left us almost 2 years ago. Not a day has past that I have not felt the loss of your presence. My heart is still broken and my spirit full of sorrow. The tears I cried then are as fresh today as they where the day you passed. I guess as the song goes, "As Soon As Forever Is Through I'll Be Over You". It has been slow moving forward without you. Everything reminds my heart of you. The star we once gazed together still shines with memories of you each night. Knowing that you are at peace in the arms of Our Lord and Savior no-longer suffering is the only thing that gets me through. Only he has provided me the strength that I've needed to make it through another day without breaking down. Thank you for the time we had together sweetheart. I'll always love you and will never forget you or your smile, laugh or the memories you left beh...
