Before you scream about money and sustainability: The burn rate is real, but I still have cash for a few more months and I want to keep working full time with full energy on this project for now 🙈
This time I finally and officially released two tracks in collaboration with another artist and learned a lot from it. It was a very good experience overall.
On my last post, I got comments saying that my productions were a technical flex, uninspired, not original, badly written (composition wise). And that I need to get a music teacher.
They're right, and that's how I feel too (started 3 years ago with no musical background and was focused on sound design and mixing all this time). But I don't feel like taking lessons. Instead, I break down tracks I like and try to understand how the melody reacts with the harmonies underneath, how it's temporally structured (avoiding getting stuck in one rhythmic pattern per bar, etc.).
In the end, idk if I'm doing well, but here's the last project I've been working on. I already sent it to an established producer and I'm waiting to hear back about a collaboration 🤞🏼
Quick update on socials: It's flat everywhere because I'm currently focused on youtube. The channel grew to 300 subscribers (I'm honored that they found interest in my lame productions, will do my best to give back to them by getting better at making music) and 1 of my tracks got 20k views with a 54% retention rate. Apparently this is a good performance, so I'm happy about it and plan to keep it up 😁
