I totally relate! Writing the music is the fun part, but trying to do all the other stuff (planning content for socials, promotion, uploading, writing, sending emails, etc.) sucks all the fun out of it. Not to mention the constant, looming existential dread on top of it all!

To me music that is artistically successful reflects and projects a part of the artist and acts like a magic spell by allowing another person to experience the inner world of the artist through nothing but vibrating air. You can't expect to package and monetize that shit.

The latest from @takemethere38.bsky.social, Nine Reflections: Music for Cats is an ambient homage to the artist's cats (past & present). It's mellow, easy listening, but with lots of textures that make it dynamicb& interesting with each subsequent listen. ampwall.com/a/takemether...

Tired Monster, by @voidscanmusic.com, is incredibly well-produced electronica that straddles a line between danceable & dark. There's a somber thread that runs underneath this one, a perfect soundtrack for the current moment. ampwall.com/a/voidscan/a...

Discovered/fell in love with the music of @fold.fm this year. Deftly blending funk & hip-hop aesthetics and clips from various speeches & media, these songs are catchy-yet-poignant, with a message that sticks with you long after it's over. Like DJ Shadow w/ more politics! ampwall.com/a/fold/album...
