On posting WIPs [feedback welcome]
5 years ago
If you've been following my work recently you'll know I've been dabbling in Bosca Ceoil. I've got a few decent songs posted as well as an uncomfortable backlog of unfinished ideas.
So I've been wondering in the way that I do about getting feedback on said ideas. Normally in this situation I'd just post something on my friend's discord group. Two problems arise here: 1) If I do post there I get little more actual feedback than "sounds cool", and 2) It's become a ghost town of people who lurk but never post and the founding member who's mental health has been shagged sideways by their work.
Following my standard pattern of thinking I've started to wonder about posting here. I'm quick to remember that most accounts watching me are likely empty husks long since vacated. Yet at the same time every so often I seem to gain another watcher. I'm not sure if these are "bots" or what their intentions are but I find it hard to believe they have any actual interest in my work as their watches don't coincide with any posts I've made.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one bothers to move it, how quickly will it begin to decompose? What color fungi will form on its trunk? What bugs will burrow within it? Is there a salamander beneath, or just worms? I suppose it depends on the type of tree, depends on how large the forest, depends on the amount of rain. If a train leaves Chicago at 3:30pm headed west at a speed of 85 miles an hour, why do I give a crap?
