i've been making music since 2002 and i've never had any reward like releases or shit like that. still, i don't think i'll stop any time soon.
but there were plenty moments when i was asking myself why i keep doing it. i get nice comments form random people on random tracks every now and then but there were many sleepless and frustrated nights when i felt it all wasn't worth it. i don't think i'll get signed anytime soon let alone make a living out of writing tracks. so the reason i keep on making music is because i have to.
this article was a really nice read and quite encouraging.
Each artist working alone at home with little chance of an audience is producing a gift that requires only a recipient to become fulfilled. This is the purest form of gift, and somehow we all know that the giver expects nothing in return, and we properly feel that nothing needs to be given.
