I know I sound like shit, but I've resumed trying to git gud at the piano as it seems a wrist I injured a long time ago is much better now:

I'm pretty much limited by being 100% self taught and recording in my bedroom.

Yeah it's broken in a way that makes it almost sound like a style, like bob dylan you know, sort of

Add cats and shit, diaporama style. And write horribly funny lyrics, stories about how stupidly broken things are now

I guess there's no harm in trying for this year's open source music funding. Deadline is June but they're not taking applications yet. If unsuccessful work on improving my mixing / production quality.

Look, you know how to play music, you have some free time, it cost close to nothing to produce

I say go for it, what do you have to lose? Make songs on youtube, sell them on itune store who cares if it doesn't sell, make a portfolio like that, at some point you'll get quite a catalog, you have something to promote then, some sort of a brand, a product

I mean do that on the side, you lose nothing, let's say it's a hobby for a start, anyway, if you want to make money online, either you come with capital and you invest, sound capital like money, or, you are the capital and there's a phase during which you push the wheel for free basically, just to create an audience, a ring, and it grows over the months / years

Do what you like to do, people sense when you like what you do, and if what you like happens to be what other people like too, then it's good, it's at least a good start

Spread your shit everywhere, and try to sell something in the process, that's the name of the game

I already do it, I broke a wrist in my early 20s so had to stop but it seems to working well enough now, I've been progressing well with my technical exercises the last couple of weeks and am going to push onwards to virtuoso mastery.

But I still suck at mixing / producing, I can't make my ideas sound as gold as they are in my head.

I'm trying to figure out if I can even get funding for a second degree in Music but I don't think so as it isn't a STEM subject.
