Hahaha yeah maybe the listeners are in a bear market too 😂
why does an artist share not-finished work with the rest of the world?
I guess for me it has a few purposes. To get feedback on whether or not the track is worth finishing, see what people think of it and get non-producer comments. What aspects people like, what might work and what doesn't as these things can be changed before sending off to final mastering.
Once I get a track mastered, I don't go back to it and change it. Ever. Only if I make a new variation on production but then I consider it a new project
Also, I like hearing how the track progresses as I work on it from the early stages and thought it would be cool to let people in to the thought processes behind the track, like behind the scenes kinda thing, for those who would be interested.
Another one might be it's accountability to finish off the tune - I post a work in progress and then work to get it finished as opposed to leaving the projects get dusty and never opened again.
Final reason, some excitement that there's something new on the way 😀
Those are some good reasons, didn't think of that 🙇
