And the roll of relistening to productions from my vault and doing the writeups to accompany their sharing on dSound continues...
Who would've thought it'd be such an emotional journey.
This one... man.
I'd originally withheld posting it, because it was "incomplete."
The production had been completed. (Though coulda used a few tweaks, if were to be professionally release... a couple off-notes, snaps too loud, more little details that only a seasoned producer/engineer would notice). However, the work calls for a vocalist (that never arrived)...

It's funny, how fast a person can produce a work, only to leave it to the wayside - coming back years later to realize just how good it was, feeling a sense of incompleteness at having not pushed it just a little further to the actualization of its success.
Yet, that's how life goes sometimes.
I wasn't a full-time producer.
I wasn't working with other artists. I didn't have the full vision for the lyrics and who could sing it to its highest potential. It wasn't time.
Listening back now, though... it's such a mixed bag of emotions.
On one hand, I had never put it out, because even if I could have found a female vocalist to do it justice - the track itself wasn't even really of the calibre, or of the style I wanted to be associated with. It was an experimental work, done in-the-moment, though not really something I wanted to put out into the world with my name on it. Weird reasoning, maybe.
On the other hand, it's undoubtedly great quality, and there's an emotional depth & richness to it, that I feel it's almost a crime to have abandoned so prematurely and not pushed that bit further to put it out as a completed work that could have been enjoyed to the fullest by a broader audience.
Yet, upon such reflection - these are the types of reasons why I've felt blockchain technology may be such an amazing tool for musicians and producers.
Because there are bound to come platforms upon which creative collaboration is made far easier - where works can be shared, smart contracts streamlining licensing complexities, legit remixes made possible simply and quickly.
The music biz has been incredible complex and difficult.
Well-designed apps utilizing smart contracts could change alot, building alot of bridges to create opportunities for both producers and artists to connect and collaborate, with simplified systems for licensing, rights management, and so forth.
An aside, perhaps.
Or perhaps I just never pushed it because I really didn't want it that bad.
Blah blah blah.
Without further ado...
I leave you this half-completed deep house instrumental for your listening pleasure.
May you find beauty in its emotional depths, a soothing warmth in its rhythms, and touching soul in its melodies.
Enjoy...

Hi @rok-sivante,
I think your vault is empty for dsound, apparently not. 😂
It's interesting, what's your vault like Doraemon's pocket?
Oh yes, it feels more cool if you own a vocalist, while a little wobble spoiled. 😂💓
Haha, getting close...
Don’t understand “Doraemon’s pocket”...
That's a magic pocket in an animated movie😂
I agree with that :)
Thanks onlinepro.. 😊💖
So cool! Check my post! 😎

Thanks.
I’m just starting to get back into producing and need some time to get reoriented, though perhaps ask again in a couple months once I’ve picked up some momentum again... ;-)
I should be a pro by then =] stay posted. Following you.
Looking at my old art sometimes I see I could have gone further, but maybe not. I think if we always give the best we can in art/music, the best keeps getting better.
This is amazing, in minutes you get a lot of upvote, how? 😊 Teach me😀

Wow! It's nice. It would surely pass for a love song if it gets a good vocalist. I am just not good at composing songs, if not I would have offered to do the job. Lol.. Nice production..

@rok-sivante, This is Wonderfully Wonderful. When listening, I could remember one popular artist name Kenny.G... He was famous and just his instrumental album release made him boom.
Keep up the good work, the sky is your beginning.

Awesome! Sounds very professional.

You made more off of this track now than many musicians will earn all month, so, congrats! Sounds like you put it out at the perfect time, and in the perfect state. Super chill and relaxing, nice rhythmic lilt to the main beat.
Rather mind blowing, isn’t it?
It’s payouts like this that have been motivating me to get back to producing... :-)
