Music Meetup

They say ‘home is where the wifi is’. However, missing your family and not feeling grounded are things that artists know all about. What does family life look like when you’re travelling the world? How do you stay in touch and if you ever feel lonely, what kind of music do you listen to to remind you of home?

A big part of a musician’s life is spent travelling, living out of a suitcase for weeks, or sometimes months at a time. Some of them experience packing as a total hassle, while others have elevated it to an artform. Music Meeting would like to know: aside from the essentials like computers, chargers and of course their instruments, what is the one special item that they just can’t leave without?

How do you maintain a sense of home when you’re on the road? Musicians go where the music takes them. It can be hard to feel at home when you change cities every day, moving from hotel room to hotel room. But little traditions might help some artists with settling into a new place. Music Meeting asks them: ‘what does home mean to you and are there any traditions that make you feel closer to it?’.

Spending many hours in transit, running low on proper sleep and choosing means of travel and accommodation based on budget, not many artists have ever been in a position to travel first class for five hours sitting next to the passenger of their dreams. But sometimes, it’s nice to just let our fantasy run wild. We wondered, what if they could? Who would it be, what would they talk about?

One of the many perks of going on tour is the opportunity for artists to discover new cultures. Local music and art, but also different languages, customs and traditions. Touring can also make the most mundane act of eating into a memorable experience. A big part of travelling the world happens while going from plate to plate. Music Meeting asks the artists: ‘Tell us about the most amazing food experience you’ve had in a country you were visiting. Where and what was it?’

Our purpose in life. Some were born knowing it, some actively search for it their whole lives, others stumble upon it by accident. And while many would be hard-pressed to describe it, remembering the spark that started it all is usually easier. A family tradition, meeting an idol or following a spiritual belief, these musicians tell you how it all started and what has, or hasn’t changed since their passion for music was sparked and how it’s developed since.

Apart from maneuvering border crossings, administrative paperwork, coping with jet lag and many other logistical issues, life on tour first and foremost provides fertile grounds for interacting with other people. People who the artists have never met before, or will never meet again. This leads to beautiful, funny or intriguing encounters, from strangers who offer help when an instrument trolley breaks to a random encounter with Paul McCartney.

Faced with radical changes in the world in the last few years, many artists had to or wanted to reflect on their music, question their role in the world, or re-invent themselves. Inspired by the writings of James Baldwin that “nothing is fixed” (pause) “the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing”, Music Meeting asks the artists ‘what does change mean to you?’
