This is gorgeous and perfect, favoriting and downloading, an essential piece of music for a certain type of days.

(Personal aside: someone in Discord mentioned WB burnout, and I'm wondering if I'm hitting the peak of that this past week.)

Beautiful piece, deep and organic sound. Love it when the guitar and bass sets in.

Beautiful and peaceful interlude. Good choice of instruments, this high piano, the bright guitar and the smooth bass.

Burnout can be rough, and more so when it's from a creative outlet that's supposed to have the opposite effect. I wish I had good advise, but everyone struggles with this in their own way. A perspective that helps me is that WB is something I think of as practice and not the source my creative output. I'm not working toward an album with the things I create here (i would approach that much differently), I'm trying to exercise my skills and improve. Production/composing/recording/etc are interesting musical skills in that you can't really practice them the same way you would practice the piano or guitar. There's no etudes, exercises, or fundamentals to drill. WB is the closest thing I have found to a 'practice routine' for these skills, and just like practicing an instrument, the better you get the slower the progress becomes and easier you slide into burnout.

Unfortunately, there's no good answers to this I've found except push through, do less, or take a break. If it's more than just lack of motivation/inspiration to get started, and you get no joy out of the process or completing a piece for the week, then I think it's totally reasonable to take a break and do whatever you do to recharge. I've found this helps me come back even stronger than just pushing through sometimes.

Thank you, happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I really like how much it feels like it opens up there too.

Thanks! I ended up really liking the simple instrumentation in this one and experimented further with these ideas in next week's track.
