How many unfinished tracks do you have knocking around on a hard drive somewhere? I was just looking through a big folder of 150 that I organized into one folder like 5 years ago. I don’t know what the true total is. Anyone else find this super overwhelming haha? I’m maybe just gonna dump it on the public like Mac Demarco lol

    Not sure, but I just checked and I have upwards of 3700 unfinished MIDI files I’ve authored over the past 20+ years – more than 8MB of data. A lot of that is multiple drafts of the same songs (e.g. one song might have 3~5 variants from a single session where I was experimenting and kept all of the drafts as separate files, and sometimes I came back to an idea and experimented with it again and again like that over a period of years). I also tend to keep a lot of my musical doodles.

    There’s a couple dozen pieces in there that I think might be worth the effort of going back to and finishing someday, maybe; everything else is just my musical research notes, basically.
