MMMM: 3% success rate, energy management, being unselfish and live jam recording
Things to make you go MMMM on Thursday

"To inspire and encourage electronic artists to make, manage and market music every day."
3 thoughts on making, managing and marketing your music and one on mine.
3 for you:
Dan Norris, author of “Create Or Hate: Successful People Make Things” on aiming for a 3% success rate -
"Hate will have you see a 97% chance of failure as a reason not to try. Creators will use it as a motivator to start now and get to work."
“Personal energy mismanagement is a silent thief of productivity.” - Gary Keller, author of “The One Thing”
Ozan Varol on showing your work -
“It’s also an act of courage. It’s to say “Here, I made this” and risk the possibility of rejection in response. It’s to be vulnerable—and to be unselfish. It’s actually quite selfish to refuse to promote your creations in order to protect your own ego.”
1 from me
I finally managed to get the webcams setup in my little studio to start recording live jams in preparation for my live show at the Level 7 Festival in September.
The setup I’m using in the video:
Elektron Syntakt
Elektron Digitakt
1010 Music Black Box and Bluebox
Midronome
Empress Effects Zoia
FMR Audio RNLA7239
Behringer TD-3 (not used)
Check out my first live jam recording of ‘Newquay’
The new setup for dawless hardware-only live performance.
Until next week
