The Rodin of the bunch.

To be honest, I've only had deadlines with work that I've had to commission for others (post-production, remix, mastering, simple tv stuff...), and since I never took those things as heavily on a personal level deadlines were perfectly okay. But since I make marginal music these days (alone & with others) deadlines really are not needed. I personally could benefit from those however.I am the worst "let me edit this a bit more" -type of a guy.

But taking a break from material is essential especially if the production is more complicated. You don't even tend to hear things correctly if too much time is spent multitracking things, and the end result may sound very surprising to your ears after a few months of not listening to it at all. It's not just plain ear-fatigue - it's more a form of a psychological fatigue that you don't even necessarily notice.

It can be.
depending on the size of your project.
In the begining,when you're learning which ingredients work best in combination.
It can be more frustrating than anything.
the good thing is all the items needed are very inexpensive.

You can find everything at HomeDepot/Lowe's
They even carry concrete dye in several colors.

Good eye

Of the three ,I would have to agree.

with this piece,


I really noticed that using less cement in the mix,allowed me to shape /form the piece longer,before it started to dry.

the first time trying a mold..
(same piece..layed down)
It was also easier to chisel the desired effect.

"surprising"
In a good or bad way?
Have any of your projects been scrapped,after going back and adding on?

I used to make pop music like the rest of people on this board. I've scrapped two pop albums while looking for somebody to sign me as a pop artist. Never knew what would have really happened, just got fed up with pop music and the people's attitude in it in general. "Deadlines" operate within the same cultural boundaries as "stardom" dreams, and both touch on financial gain and seeing music as something to you could profit from.

Once you get over that, it's a bit different world.

pop music will always be around.
It's constantly fine tuning itself
what you had then may come around again.
I would love to hear some of your older music.

what I'm hearing now sounds experimental/different
