Hello friends! Just thought I'd share more thoughts on the situation.
First; I'd like to mention that on Thursday last week, i got into university!
This is a huge weight off my shoulders and i feel amazing.
After much thought, i pinpointed why i wasn't enjoying making tracks anymore: pressure.
I wanted every track to best the previous in every single way, polished and perfect as possible.
But that's not why i enjoy music. I enjoy the beats, the melodies, the crazy sounds i can use.
The creation process was 3/4 polishing and effects and only 1/4 of what i actually enjoy.
I know you guys don't particularly enjoy these "crazy" tracks (such as the ones in my Hyphemia EP) but they're the one's i actually had a good time creating. As much as the payoff for my tracks like Waves upon Moonrise and Ultimatum were well received (which I'm extremely grateful for), i just can't bring myself to make these types of tracks. They're amazing but holy shit, they're SUCH a pain to make!
So I've started working on something new. Something different.
It won't be out for a while but when it is I'll be sure to let you know.
Thank you to all who read this, i appreciate it highly.
Know that you are loved, and you matter.
Sincerely, DefectiveSmile
