Initial Idea

My initial idea was to create the beginning of a documentary. I am extremely passionate about music, especially music that falls under the 'Indie' branch. My passion recently sparked an interest in the study and research of indie music and I felt that I could create a documentary on indie music and if indie really is it's true definition anymore. By this I mean are bands that are considered indie really indie because it really means that they are independent. Most artists and bands are signed to a record label which takes away their independence as they are signed to a company who tell them when to release singles and albums etc. Bands such as 'Arctic Monkeys' (circa 2003-2005) are the true definition of indie as they released their music themselves and were truly independent as they only signed a record deal to Domino Records in 2005.
