Yes, this kind of 'funding' always makes me mad. And I tried to 'adjust' my work.- as I am a naturally curious person (and I find interesting points in everything), but often the flow is much better when it's your original idea.
Being a naturally curious person is for sure a huge advantage. 😀 Who knows how many original ideas got killed off, because of this kind of 'funding'...
Recently watched a bio on Gotye. "Wally" would mess around with live tracks and many audio samples to compose things at his parents' home. He spent some time after they sold the house moving from place to place working odd jobs and making songs on the side. Then one day, he hit it big with a sleeper hit. It all blew up for him - Doors opened wide.. Yet he decided to lay low (for now) .. "I decided it made more sense to focus on creative things and not get hung up on money and lawyers and courts." This I assume he meant the 40% or so royalties he paid back for the samples he used. He even turned off RUclips ads. Curious story ~~> Seems like he just wants to make stuff and not be bothered.
I loved his song 'Somebody I used to know' is that the one you're referring to? I will watch the bio, sounds very intriguing. So has he completely withdrawn now or is he still sharing his stuff?
