Semi retirement from being a bedroom musician? Is there such a thing? I think so. If I’m just making music for my own pleasure, why bother with all the tedious self promotion? I really don’t have an answer to that question. I have no expectation to have a change in career any longer. I’m fairly happy with my current employment, and music has very much become an enjoyable hobby again.
I will possibly put a quick post up on social media, to alert anybody that might be interested, that I have released new material. I already have some completed work, and I have lots of projects in the pipeline, but I’m not even sure these require releasing to be honest.
As an example. I have two string quartets written, but does anybody really need to hear a digital mock up of these? If I had a recording of a “real” quartet playing them, maybe. I don’t personally have the ability to pay a quartet to play these works, nor do I see any probability of quartet ever approaching me to play them.
So, I’m thinking they should probably just remain in my archives. Maybe, I’ll get together all these works and give them to the British Library when I die. If they are of any interest to them, great. If not, I’ve lost nothing, and I’ve not stressed over put them out in the world.
