Meeting Minutes 20150919
Grand Objective - To create and distribute musical content meeting a high standard of quality and serving the purposes of satisfying the desire for personal artistic expression and providing opportunity for the shared enjoyment of such content.
Musical content includes: compositions, sound and video recordings, live performances, and related media such as written works, commentary, and visual arts.
The high standard of quality to which the content is expected to achieve is a subjective measure but requires that the work in question must have merit in at least one of the following three categories: message, feel, execution.
Artistic expression and audience reception of musical content may occur independently but one should not be pursued to the detriment of the other; meaning that both engaging in an act of expression that causes harm, and compromising the integrity of the work in effort to improve audience reception should be avoided. The grand objective is best met when the dual purposes coincide and the artist and audience both have a positive experience participating in the presentation of the work.
