Passing 10K
Yesterday I passed 10,000 listens of the tracks I have shared on Alonetone and I think it's a milestone worth celebrating.
Even two years ago the idea that I would be making music would have seemed fanciful. I love music, but what do I know about how it's made? What talent have I anyway? Until 2008 I think my closest contact with an instrument was tapping a triangle at school.
At this point I have made some 70 tracks, and - I think - many hundreds of people have listened to them and, at least a few of them, have enjoyed them. I know I have. I'm not claiming these are anything more than you'd expect from someone who has a years worth of experience in a complex, creative, field but... I've made a few that I love, like this one.
I'm signed up to do the RPM challenge in 2010. I've no clue what I'm going to do and few expectations about what kind of an album I will come up with. But... I'm making an album this year.
How crazy is that?
