Putting your art out for the world to see is a vulnerable thing. It often means leaving yourself open to criticism, and in some cases, outright hate. How can you sift through the deluge of comments, feedback, and judgment and use it to make yourself a better artist? How do you stop obsessing over a negative evaluation of your work? And do you look at "the haters" from a different angle?In this episode, we'll talk about all those things and more. AND, we'll talk about a few composers who had their music critically eviscerated, including the one whose music was described as "the most dreadful deluges of piffle, bombast, and nonsense ever perpetrated on an audience in these environs." Surprisingly enough, it wasn't Richard Wagner… Material Mentioned in This Episode:Tim Ferriss' 8 Rules for Dealing with HatersLexicon of Musical Invective: Critical Assaults on Composers Since Beethoven's Time by Nicholas Slonimsky FOR EXCLUSIVE CREATIVITY TIPS, MUSINGS, AND EXERCISES, SUBSCRIBE TO THE ALWAYS CHOOSE ORANGE NEWSLETTER: https://www.alwayschooseorange.com
