30 day music-creation trial

[Canadian]

For 30 days I will spend most of my awake-time creating music. The point of this trial is to eradicate the control my perfectionism has over my desire to create music, make myself generally more comfortable with the quality of music I produce, and of course to put me in a habit of being productive on a daily basis.

At the end of each day I will post on this forum a link to a sample of music that I had worked on earlier that day. Right now I mostly hide my music in shame (not because I think it is objectively bad but because of perfectionist thoughts that I know aren't realistic but have a hard time shaking off), so I figure putting it out in the open and starting to feel a bit proud of myself again will go a long way in encouraging me to create more in the future.

One thing I've never regretted is spending time on music production. Every time something came out that I liked, I had a new song to enjoy for a life time.

Props to you. The hardest part for me is putting myself out there, like you a can be a perfectionist.
Is there a way you plan on going about it? A piece a day? Will you be able to edit a piece at a later day, if so how many limits are you gonna set in the 30 days (and are they gonna be based on the critiques here or your own feeling?)

I've never found musical reviews to be useful except as a way to connect with other people who make tracks. When I make something I do it my way. But as I said, trading reviews is a great way to make new musical friends

Can't wait to hear what you come up with!

I plan on doing one piece a day from start to finish, but that's not a rule. If I want to work on 5 songs in one day or one song for 5 days that will be OK, as long as I am being productive.

There's some kind of 'album production' challenge over a month which takes place soon. Similar to NanoWriMo but for music. Not sure where the link is.

What kind of music do you make? As a growing musician myself with the same challenge (perfectionism and letting others hear my creations), I'd like to see how you handle this challenge.
