Pollyanna posted:my approach to anything i make is “it’s been done before, and by someone better and smarter than you”. because the truth is that there’s a finite amount of combinations and permutations out there, and there are so many people who make music with so much time spent before you that the bottom of the barrel has been worn away to dust. same. unless i'm doing something for a specific purpose (like someone asks me for a lil ambient loop to go in the background of a video or something) i'll do the Bill Watterson thing, i'll spend a couple hours improvising and record the whole session. when i'm done for the day, i delete the recording. occasionally i'll chop a piece out and send it to some friends for feedback, but taking away the pressure of "making a record" has made me infinitely happier with the act of making music. i have occasionally thought of live streaming the sessions though, but that feels like too much work.

Pollyanna posted:"making a record" is kinda pointless honestly, because... i think different strokes for different folks. I don't get much joy out of making records, but i have a friend who does. He loves the whole process of forcing himself work within constraints. But to the same end, when he's done, he'll just release it for free/$1 downloads on bandcamp. He makes his own cassettes to hand out to his friends. That's where he finds joy. You can do a thing for the sheer love of doing the thing w/o having to worry about it being a way to make money or klout. gently caress anyone who says otherwise.
