Patreon, Here We Come

So, I am slowly creating a Patreon profile so that I can get more funding to complete my work.  This is not a sales pitch, it's more of a PSA.  You can use Patreon to create a great many things, and it might help you pay your rent, etc.  It's a very cool platform.  If you wanted to donate to me, that's great, but there's lots of good people on the site, and that is a very cool thing.

Any Opinions On Lyrics Videos?

I'm also wondering if anyone has an opinion about unsigned artist sites... Someone who likes making lyric videos would be a help, but I am really interested about a site that deals with unsigned musicians.... The two together are a big focus for me right now.

On a side note,  it's almost time to shred and find out how these songs actually sound :)

You Have To Play It Out

I having such fun playing new melodies and creating something that us improvisatory... It is like it can never really be written down, and I like that :)

What About The Length Of An Album

I've got albums from my favorite band that are barely 40 minutes long.  I don't care, I love it...I just always wonder what convinces people to make albums of a certain length.  Is this something that people arrive at because they think the album is done, or is the number of tracks and their relative length part of some divine formula.  Just wondering...

In other news, writing in the middle of the night really helps.  I have some great tracks ready to go, and I just need to decide what is going to accompany them.  How simple or complex they will be.  But this thing is coming together in a way where I can spend mid-April to mid-May recording and see if I can release this puppy on June 1 on basically all forms of media :)

Instinctual Lyrics?

I wrote almost all my songs as the music first and the words second.  The music just come naturally, and I can edit it to fit in words that work well, but I have not written a whole song and then tried to write music to fit it.  There is something about instinctually putting words to the music I already have that I find oddly satisfying.  I know that people edit their songs all the time, but how often do they edit them?  I feel like the music happens and then some lyrics happen when I am ready...anyone else want to share their process?
