MMMM: Your legacy, most valuable asset, creative risks and this month's stream
Things to make you go MMMM on Thursday
by Darien J
"To inspire and encourage electronic artists to Make, Manage and Market Music every day."
Three thoughts for your music and one on mine.
3 for you:
This goes for writing music just as much.
"Writing is one of the only ways to outlive yourself. People still read books from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The author's physical life ended long ago, but their mental life remains alive and meaningful even today.” - James Clear
Creating the habit of doing your creative work on a daily basis will help to keep you from doom scrolling.
“Your most scarce resource isn’t your time or money. It’s your attention. There’s a reason why we call it paying attention. Treat it like you would your money (because it’s more important than money). Save it, invest it, and spend it where it matters most. And remember: Today’s “free” services—like social media—aren’t free at all. You’re paying a fortune in terms of fragmented attention and lost focus.” - Ozan Varol
And your creations need to be heard by others as part of the process.
“Creativity is the ability to take a risk. To put yourself on the line and actually risk ridicule. The creative process often takes place outside of your ego.” - STING

The end of the month has come round fast this time!
This means we’ll be getting the gang together for The Social Stream and some snacks.
Joining me behind the decks is the awesome Nina Carina who was here for our very first stream back in January.
Expect some chuncky bumpty tech fun wrapped in my usual deep atmospheric soundtrack.
