A Short Reflection
So the album's done and released. Is it the masterpiece we sought to create? Well, we have no idea...
And that's because it's harder than I previously thought to get people to actually listen to our album. Nothing against this community, but we've gotten I think two comments on the actual music we made, and the number of downloads we've gotten on Bandcamp are disappointing to say the least. I don't want to sound like I'm desperate for listeners, but frankly.......I'm desperate for listeners.
I'm not sure where I went wrong, to be frank. I guess the primary, traditional method of getting fans is a route we should have taken (as in, actually playing lots of shows at local venues), but given our current life situation where we both attend different colleges and don't have any other band members to perform live with us, I'd say it's a difficult proposition to make come true.
Maybe we're not actually any good. That's something I'd be okay with accepting, but some criticisms would be nice. Music is something I love doing as a sort-of 'hobby-yet-more-than-a-hobby" type of thing. It's not something I want to do as a career, but it's one of the most important aspects of my life and I want my created works to be listened to by people, but making that happen is hard.
Where do we go from here? Well, it's going to become increasingly difficult to see my bandmate for extended periods of time from here on out, so I'm not sure if the two of us will ever collaborate on an album again. We'll just have to see where life takes us.
