This was sent to the Diecast email, but it seemed better to answer it in a post. (I don’t think the other hosts are eager to hear me talk about my music.) <\/p>\n
So now that Shamus is spending more time and energy on music, and apparently enjoying the crap out of it. Is he eventually going to replace Kevin Macleod as the go to music guy?<\/p>\n
Thanks BeardedDork<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Someone else suggested putting the music up for sale on Bandcamp. So let’s talk about what I’m doing with this music business.<\/p>\n
I’m trying very hard to keep my head about this. I know I’m pretty amateur. I don’t want to go all “Michael Jordan playing baseball” and spend my time working outside my skillset. I know the only reason I have anyone listening to my music at all is because I was already famousInternet famous.<\/span> for other things. If it wasn’t for my existing audience, I’d be part of the vast army of obscure composers, toiling away and begging people to listen to my work. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, this work is really fun. So I think the key here is to just keep it in moderation and make sure my composing time isn’t eating to my blogging or column-writing. <\/p>\n
I doubt I’ll pose a threat to Macleod anytime soon. Even if I somehow caught up to him in terms of sheer volume, I’m far behind in musical knowledge. I only work in one genre, after all. <\/p>\n
Speaking of which, I’ve decided I’ve made enough music to call it an “album”. So here is my first album, Bang the Rocks Together<\/a>:<\/p>\n
