squarepusher do you have any goals for your music?

my first goal when i started making electronic music was to sound like squarepusher

next i wanted to do something unique & original but still ended up influenced too much

tonight i realized if i work hard enough that i may get to collaborate with my influences

i would be really happy if i could get wayne lonesome on track, or liz fraser, et cetera

what are your goals? do you compare yourself to other artists? favorably/disfavorably?

i find i'm most satisfied with the results of my production when i don't overscrutinize

not having watmm the center of my daily routine for the first time in 6 years helps too

are your goals intrinsically or extrinsically motivated? how do you respond to criticism?

to get played by john peel

I'm finishing a full 13 track album by December

A piece of vinyls with my music on it on a decent label and the funding of said wax isn't coming out of my own pocket ;)

Album on Warp mastered by Clark.

to have a single in the hit parade.

Make stuff I want to listen to. I'd say I've been mostly successful.

I would have fucking loved for John Peel to have played one of my tracks

Especially if he had played it at the wrong speed

My goals since starting writing music have been fairly simple. Create some stuff that I like.

Going further than that, I would love to get an EP together that was released on a netlabel. Im not aiming too high here, I think this is achievable one day.

ps tht tne - thanks for your comments on my track. I think it is music - its more of a concept piece really

lolzzzlz!

Well, I suppose my point is, someone else who has set up a website and called it a netlabel will like my tracks enough to want to put their name to it.

Making tracks I'm happy with fo sho, and getting an EP on a netlabel.

Seriously??

Keep doing it for 40 years, and make some really good stuff.

Get it finished

As mentioned, compose music I'm happy and satisfied with myself. And also I'd like to spark some sort of reaction/emotion inside the listener.

Something that sounds unlike anything else.

I try not to repeat myself. After I complete an album I dedicate several months to trying new production techniques, listening exclusively to new music in genres I hadn't previously pursued, that sort of thing. In theory that would mean that I might not even be doing electronic music in a few years but some other form, & then something different a few years after that, & so on.

I would like to tour some day.

Would also love having a release on a prominent label.

haha finishing a track is a pretty good goal for me at this moment. :D

slightlydrybeans, you have one of the greatest avatars ever.

Having fun is my goal.

why thank you. :)

A little flash experiment.
