Please, for a moment, consider your folder full of unfinished pieces as a SKETCHBOOK.
Sketchbooks are full of unfinished things, tests of one's chops, practices, quick ideas jotted down, doodles and, in R. Crumb's case, pornography.
In fact, electronic music sketchbooks are even more forgiving in that you can just banish hateful things into the electronic ether with a key stroke (which you really shouldn't do). Pencil and pen marks on paper need to be burned to be gotten rid of thoroughly.
You always start with a sketch. But a lot of times the sketches don't make it. Tough. The hardest part of being any kind of an artist is realizing that not everything you do is precious.
Move on to the next project. Revist old ones if you wish.
And now for your edification, 2 pages from R. Crumb's sketchbooks (with helpful aesthetic advice.)

Good advice - and tough advice to follow. Synth programming could generously be described as production - and endless tweaking is the opiate of the synth programmer.ontrackp wrote:That's a really good idea.
The other problem is that the workflow with DAW's and synths cause us to wear too many hats at one time. Typically, we're trying to be the composer, the producer and the player all at once -- that's tough.
Try writing the whole song without actually producing it. Once you have a beginning, middle and end, then produce it.
i collected over 100 unfinished songs in 10 years.rewer wrote:So I got a folder with 26 incomplete songs and it's really hard to get into the same mood with which I first wrote them. It kinda gets piled up and even though sometimes I want to begin a new one my mind tells me to take a look at them first and it's kind of a waste of time (I think). Does anyone also have the same problem? Any suggestions?
while that number seems small tbh, here's a far more important question imho...how much have you learned from those 26 incomplete songs?rewer wrote:So I got a folder with 26 incomplete songs and it's really hard to get into the same mood with which I first wrote them.
