Congratulations everyone and thank you! 52/52 here, found out about it on Createdigitalmusic.com just before the deadline last year, and figured what the heck, why not? I never hit a block as such, and always figured that I'd work out something. Some of my tracks weren't so good, but those tended to be from trying to hit a specific target. The better tracks emerged somewhat organically and were more process-oriented. ("Let's do something where all the guitars go through this pedal I just bought." "Let's use the bit crusher on all tracks." "Let's have every track be this Ableton instrument.") If I thought I had a successful with some particular track, the next week went better if I set some rule that differentiated the two, to avoid live-up-to-X syndrome. I did learn that I really like synthesizing percussion sounds better than using drum machine samples, so that opens up some process. And I like using drum lines that are varying lengths for unexpected interactions.
Very cool to do this, and while I'm not totally sure what I'll do in 2015, I think I'm going to try to keep up a composition schedule. And collect some of what I did this past year for more formal release. Also, I'm not going away--I'll listen to things I haven't yet heard, and keep commenting. Great to discover your work here!
I'm on SahndClahd (either this one or this one), Defacebook, an Ello thing, and have a few relatively inactive Twizzlers.
i would also ... maybe some exchange? my email: [email protected] - happy new year! ccc
