working on accepting myself. i am enough. i am happy. i don't need anything more than i have. the things that i want to change will change in due time. just keep going.
for instance:
it's okay that not every song has every kind of idea. a song can be in 11/8 and it doesn't also need unexpected harmonic motion and voice leading. a song can have a lengthy chord progression with a dense melody and not also need 5-part vocal harmony and microsound. songs can be instrumental, they don't all need poetic lyrics that wink at some personal trauma. songs can be good even if nobody would make a youtube essay about them. just keep playing around, just keep writing about it.

@spiralganglion@merveilles.town Maybe a better constraint for you would be limiting yourself to *one* weird idea per track to force yourself to struggle with your discomfort at the idea of producing conventional (and thus potentially cliche) music? š¤
