Thank God No One Cares (but only sometimes)
I think one of the greatest things about being an independent musician/artist is that you can totally take a break from yourself on any day and no one cares-kind of, what I was talking about yesterday.
My streaming numbers are not existent, basically one of the hundred thousand songs a day kind of on the noise level. Now my plan is to change that, but even when I do, you can still-you know, take this artistic break without anyone caring.
And I’m doing a guys weekend thing on Saturday. DJing, but I’m also bringing an acoustic guitar; bringing my kind of house, knock around classical, which me and the boys really love so much. Super cheap, very cheerful, and the thought of taking that and making music and playing that this weekend is really wonderful.
I’m super grateful that I have it, and it makes me realize that I do set up these little ways to make music—different ways, whether it’s the OP-1 or kind of the thing I’m working on now or my Matriarch modular set up.
It’s just really-I feel very fortunate. I feel lucky to have any stuff, and if it all came crashing down—well, just the acoustic is fine too.
And maybe a younger artist would be concerned about that but as I’ve turned into a future old man, I-at least, find real relief in the fact that some days no one cares at all.
