It's not crap. It's quite catchy in places. I read somewhere once that beginning musicians have such a hard time because they're exquisitely trained to recognize what's good in music but yeoman at best at creating what's good and the dichotomy drives them bugshit. I say keep it up. Which is a lot better than what I wrote this morning, which was grumping about the title "vaporwave" which I hadn't heard until like two weeks ago yet I've owned every Com Truise album ever produced since they were new, owned Jan Hammer CDs and frickin' 40 years ago we called it krautrock and nobody got confused. Guess I'm still grumping. Sorry 'bout that. Old habits die hard.
This is actually a snapshot of an ongoing effort to sit down and record something every time I have a free afternoon to allow it. I’m not as cynical about the process as I might seem. I’m actually quite pleased with how it is progressing. Often times I’ll make something where there’s not even a semi-redeemable part in it. But even those nights are educational since I learn a particular setup or approach that is not a good way to make music. Like, last night I spent a few minutes literally spinning in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise circles trying to untangle myself from cables. Fixing issues like that goes a long way towards being able to just make music and not waste time fiddling with technical issues.
