done is better than good
I'm like chronically bad at releasing stuff, it's crazy. I released two awful albums in 2014 and 2015 on SoundCloud (some of the tracks aren't even on there) and then gave up and only posted a few finished songs until A New Dusk. Those old songs on my YouTube channel were often finished a year before they were posted, and most of A New Dusk was done over two years before it came out. Maybe I have some stuff posted earlier that I forgot about. I can't find my old account on house-mixes.com.
I don't know how I'm going to go back and release the few albums' worth of songs from 2015 to 2019, it's just so daunting. Some of them, the ones I wrote in notation software, may be gone forever. I'm constantly doing this to myself.
But whatever I have, I have to put it out. I've been wanting to release "the ground archives" for years now. If my game ever comes out, I'm going to release some of the music I'm remaking for it, namely my Octonia Symphony from 2018/2019. I have to track down the files.
Speaking of which, it's been about six years since the emergence of my distinctive style (which probably started with a Hazbin Hotel cover of all things) which was in turn six years since I started releasing music seriously. I've really plateaued on everything besides tuning knowledge, singing, and determination to release things. My requirement to release an album a year is really helping me.
The way I see it, skill isn't the ability to do things. It's the ability to finish them.
