What are your creative goals for 2024?

Having been a lurker on watmm for quite sometime, I thought it best to start a thread to get a feel for this community. 
 

That being said, what are your creative goals for 2024?

To understand the tools I use profoundly and achieve exactly what I want. I used to be limited by the "annoyance" of learning a new tool, but I've found a new way to do it and it is working.

Learn a bit of theory to put into practice, stuff like progressions, modulations, so when I write music, I come at it from a different angle than just jamming.

I've been thinking for a while about setting myself some rules to compose rather than just noodling. Make all my drums in 6/4. Use the microtonal scale which I mapped 12 notes of a keyboard to 12 equal divisions of a perfect 5th. 

learn my Analog Rhythm to make tracks that use its full potential 

To invent some spare time for music production. Finally! …hopefully

When I was much younger I thought ok, ok… I’ll finish all those schools and colleges, ill have enough money and security and I’ll have the time for music but older i get less time i have to the point it’s almost impossible to have enough time to concentrate on music!  I have everything now, except the needed time for music

more cooming, hopefully in a woman.

as for my 2024 goals:

• i'm hoping to release some of the stacks of music i've recorded over the last 2-3 years that haven't made their way out yet.
• i'm hoping to write and record more music.
• i'm hoping to consolidate/weed out some of the sprawl of gear i've got.
• i'm hoping to try blogging a bit on my site about music explorations that i don't see others really discussing.
• i'm hoping to share some of those ideas in video as well when that makes sense.
• i'm hoping to try my hand at writing some fiction (but i've said that for 10+ years to no avail yet).
• i'm hoping to try out some more digital art techniques/photo manipulation.
• i'd like to start trying out some woodworking/crafts/etc. but not holding my breath on this being the year i start that.

what's your goals?

I also want to learn Japanese. Gonna start slow ofc.. 

Thanks for that Duolingo link! I hope this is not so complicated like with other "Join us free today and learn for free, sign up sign up" 
Then you sign up and It Is full of 200$ courses you don't even know if they're good or not. 

Just carry on making awesome tunes 

i'm going to start to write a confusing, and generally bad, novel. then give up on it and focus on riding my bike more. 

play some live sets

Going to make a new avatar.

Same here so much! I still don't understand the drum seq in Live. 

I have cleaned up alot so I will be focusing on Ableton. I have my free update to Live 12 and after that I will be reading more, watching more Youtube etc.. 
Oh everything takes time! We can do it! 

I would like to get all my recording equipment setup.  I've been jamming daily since covid started and having a great time.  I really miss the recording/editing/mastering process and want to do something in 2024

And hello!!

6/4? why not 11/8, 7/8, 5/8, 14/8? 6/4 is pretty basic imo...
