I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.
I wasn't making music consciously when I was younger. I was a musician, but that has its own stigmas. Anywhere on the planet, it's one of the more undervalued positions.
