just had a brainblast moment

organists were probably the closest thing to being an electronic music artist back in the day

like think about it. organists had literally tens of different instrument sounds and timbres to choose from on one instrument at their disposal and could combine them pretty much however they wanted

church service was basically the first rave is what i’m saying

#music stuff #mendelssohn? my idol? organist #made some dope music and played it well too #organists and keyboard players generally were like Thee hottest shit #like idk it's an interesting thought that like it's a different time with different thoughts about music and how it can be made #but conceptually musicians have always been the same #it's just now they're like commercialized to death and every kid wants in on it #nowadays it's far easier to become a pop star than if you were a fuckin court musician back in 17-whatever #that required Real Talent. not as many kids wanna become organists now do they
