And what I really mean by that is: you are incredibly helpful and I want to put these tips to good use. Instead I'll just keep recommending you to everyone else!
I love all of these things, Dave. But I think some of your 2 needs to go into group 3. Try and limit your self to three or four main pillars for group two.
This has been such an interesting read. While I don't make music myself, I still think this is such useful advice as I figure out my brand for my (eventual) radio show/podcast.
This has clicked into place some of the ideas I've heard others try to explain, but none as clearly and as concisely as yourself.
I wish I were a band just so any of this advice were applicable to me.

Thank you so much, Gabbie! I think of you as a very brand-embodied person ❤️❤️
"It’s time for the scary part. Committing to the bit." LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
It’s harder than it looks!
1. Experimentation, Curiousity
2. The everyday as alien, seeing preconceptions, deep listening
3. Electroacoustic, modular, silent humour, indie comix, experimental film
I'll continue to think about what you say
Thank you
1. Experiment, curiousity, exploration
2. Sound objects, objects as characters,everyday sounds, imaginary environments,look twice, listen close
3. Silent humour, electronics, modular, electroacoustic, independent comic books, examine your experience

Great brand advice! Trying to be everything to everyone is a career killer.
I so wish I’d had advice like this when I was making music when I was younger! Excellent read/listen
Great article, thank you for these thoughts.
My pyramid:
1. Emotional, often melancholic music, mostly without lyrics
2. Getting in touch with your feelings, desires, the stuff below the surface of consciousness
3. Mostly improvised music, often recorded live in one take. Made with a setup of “Frippertronics” loopers
