Made a Demo Reel, and an Update.

Posted by TeffyD - August 2nd, 2023

As the title says, I tried making a Demo Reel to show off my music better. Check it out on my website.

And a sorta update. To tell the truth, lately I've felt more and more disheartened making music, I can't explain it. I've said before in a forum post I feel I started too late in things, and for these past few weeks I've felt worse and worse about it. Maybe I'm being over-dramatic, maybe not, either way I still feel down about my future, and if I can keep going on with this or if I'm wasting my time.

That isn't to say I hate making music now, or haven't had success or been in fun projects so far. I have and they've been awesome, it's just that I can't shake this feeling of dread about things. Dreading that I'm not needed, or not useful, or any other shitty things that pop in my head.

I might slow down in making music, or maybe I'll feel better about things and keep up. Time will tell.

Thanks for reading my pity-party lol

Maybe you're feeling burnout? Perhaps taking a break from music wouldn't be a bad idea in that case; it may help you refresh.

Either way, I hope things pick up for you soon.

Maybe, thanks man.

Honestly, I think we all hit those points at certain times. Our brains are always trying to tell us something in the back of our heads, whether things are going well or not. Not a bad idea to try and unpackage those thoughts a bit. I find a lot of the time that it seems to come from places not even related to art/writing/music. These are usually the times in life where therapy feels like a game-changer.

On your music, you've got nothing to worry about. You've got the goods; your demo reel is bangin' enough to show that.

Yeah I just gotta keep goin, thanks for your words on the demo reel, I appreciate it

feeling the same way for the past year or so man, it's rough.. once i'm done with certain obligations i think it could be a good idea to just set my focus on a specific goal, like an album or EP with some concrete idea and just send it. We'll see how it goes

BTW i dig the site, love the oldschool windows XP look haha

Yea, I think a big problem is I have no certain obligations to keep me motivated, like I’m doing this for no reason. Thanks for your words on the site, I appreciate it.

I get it, I went through the same thing, the only difference was that it was with making art, games, and animation. After taking a break for a while you'll feel better.
