Tl;Dr: My PC kicked the bucket and I lost motivation to do anything on top of an already big burnout phase, it's all healing slowly, but I need a bit more time as I build up a new work environment that's hopefully more stable for my work. You can help me with this @ ko-fi.com/daciangrada
Yo-ho!! Now it's REALLY been a while... Where to start? After my last single about 2y ago, I slowly got into this huge burnout phase mixed with impostor syndrome, where I kept opening projects and never finishing them, thinking they weren't up to par with my "quality standards" and big bs like that. This lasted until this year, where I slowly began getting better and starting to like my own music again... only to get completely shafted by my computer without any reason. It just went and poofed itself (and the backup... impressive, I know) after an apparently faulty update, losing me months of work, all the backup I have saved locally (far more updated than the external ones I had) and everything else I had on it. What joy and fun, right? This started an almost worrying depressing state in me where I really couldn't feel like doing anything creatively, no music, no videos, nothing. Not even playing instruments. It was pretty sad. It's slowly healing now though, and as I save up enough to upgrade my working environment with better systems that will ensure this won't happen again, as well as a new fresh "home studio" (it'll be the same, but with much needed upgrades and changes, not only the PC) I ask of you just a little bit of patience as I come back in full force with new music hopefully by the end of the year! In the meantime, here are some useful links and big thanks for those who kept listening, playlisting and sharing my videos despite the hiatus; y'all are the true GOATs!!
