Current view:
Any melody you create play whistle or sing is success.
1990 view:
Someone paying you for listening to your music.
General view:
When you hire someone to handle your music income.
Universal view:
Someone else covers your music and makes money.

Having someone listen to one of your songs dozens of times

I'm still pretty small-scale, but seeing my name on Spotify was a trip. Also, the first time I went for a jog and was listening to *my own* music for pace caused me to feel...things. Having someone I didn't know reach out to me because they liked my music was another big one.

When enough people that I do not know personally like the music enough to where they’re willing to contribute some of their hard-earned money so that I can make the next record without tapping into my own resources.

Successful completion of my current WIP. So far, I've managed to do this over 100 times, although my work-rate is quite erratic.

Is it an album or EP?

seismictc.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm just talking about individual tracks completed during the last 16 years.

Each time I complete a track it feels like I have won a small battle.

Yeah, I understand it. Sometimes it's not that easy to find time/motivation to finish your work

seismictc.bsky.social•1 day ago

In the past, some tracks have taken years to complete, although I generally take a few evenings these days

Yeah, one of my songs took about 2 years overall (I wrote a melody and then couldn't make up lyrics)

Btw which one of them?

(1/2) I used to think it was paying your bills. I've had some friends be able to do that, but they still have to spend so much time doing things other than making music and playing live. To me now, making it is having one of my songs truly become someone's favorite. To have them play it when they're

(2/2) going through hard times or celebrating good ones. Because that means that even if we don't know each other or never even meet, in that instant we understood something about each other as human beings and that's beautiful. That's what really going to matter at the end, not the bills I paid.

Being able to pay bills with the fruits of my creativity. I’ll let you know if it ever happens.
