I'm just curious, if the project artist type were to go through how would this release be changed? Would the artist become: "The Roger Glover Project" Artist Type: Project or "Roger Glover" Artist Type: Project Not to be confused with "Roger Glover" Artist Type: Person
I can see the definite use for project, but it's hard to find the difference between a collaboration with multiple artists that can be handled better with AR's or a new artist(group) name. Perhaps "Project" can be defined as multiple artists (usually more than two) that regularly perform together as a group and may have a flexible or changing roster of artists, but as a project always play the music of the project. But I'm having a problem thinking of good examples that can't also fall under the definition of group. Perhaps the "Traveling Wilbury's" but many groups are made of people that have produced music solo or with other groups. I was thinking that a regularly changing roster could define a project but many projects are stable and many groups change. It's just relly hard defining what the difference is between a project and a group. -Dustin (Kerensky97) joan WHITTAKER wrote: > > Given that it was Beth and I who originally put forward this idea, and at > the moment Beth is ill and unable to be on mb, then I would be more than > willing to be champion for this idea. > > To reiterate my original reasoning: > > Roger Glover is and has been for a long time a part of Deep Purple. > However, in 1973 he left the group and produced for other artists.
