Technology has dramatically liberated the voices of many unheard-of talents. Even music production has been democratized to an incredible degree. Today, anybody can set up a home studio that provides above-average quality output with very little investment. Technology has brought in sophisticated studio equipment which delivers greater efficiency at affordable prices. This is a revolutionary change from the ways of the old world. For musician Ayal Kleinman, this revolution is the very core of his song “Fast Lane” and the reason why it strikes a chord with the masses.
“Fast Lane,” as the title suggests, is about living a life that’s not afraid to take chances and is ready to live up to the consequences. The idea of living in the fast lane has been with the world for a while now. It seems we are catching up with what it means. According to Ayal, his song is about “inspiring people to lift their head a little higher and see the glory of life from a new angle. To not be afraid of the wonderment that lies ahead and not be afraid to feel small in front of it. Instead, it’s a joy to be a part of something so grand that words fail to express it. But it must be felt and, through an internal revolution, realized as well.”
Ayal does not like to dwell on his successes. His job, he believes, is to keep creating and keep doing what he’s meant to do. Often, he suggests younger musicians do the same. He says, “Keep at it. Develop a keen ear and eye for detail. Don’t get derailed by promises of success. Success doesn’t have a form except for the one you feel in your heart.”
Ayal’s musical journey is full of promises. It’ll be exciting to see how far it takes him.
