I just listened a few times to your track. I really dig the somewhat eclectic feel of the lead guitar. I'm also digging that part when the bass suddenly comes in at the midpoint. The thing that really annoys me is when it fades out in the middle of this really cool riff at the end... I hate when songs do that! Let me enjoy it for just a moment, damn it!

I was joking, but I do think the last one you linked was actually over 9 if I remember correctly.

I've calculated it to be somewhere around 49 hours

Seriously?!

That's pretty mindblowing.
I don't even know an artist that can keep up with that. Not even the most prolific ones like Prince and Bowie.
Maybe someone like Buckethead. He makes a dozen albums a year or something.

More like 51 actually.

But you have your Frank Zappas and your Merzbows and your John Zorns out there with quite literally hundreds of albums.

I don't know how people do that. I once calculated that I spend around 8 months finishing every full length album on average. In another 10 years, I'll probably barely double my 8 hour total. 51 hours is a heck of a lot to me!

My secret is that I put very little effort and time into my stuff.

Not sure if that says something positive or negative about me

I think it says that you have a very straight, honest way of pouring your ideas out of your head and into some concrete form. If you like your results, then that's a good thing. Personally, I have to struggle and fight for every finished ½ minute of music. I find it exhausting and sometimes wish I could do something more direct and effortless.
