2021 feels so long ago sometimes. "I feel like we'll see something real again".
I think it's really worth asking why we put our best work out in 2021. Part of the answer is that a lot of the best musicians at that time were hired by platforms or started platforms to help build out the space. The platforms got really interesting but did less great work get put on them?
I don't personally thinking onboarding new users is particularly interesting until we can answer why our own output changed (at least for me) in quality and quantity between 2021-2024. Having a highly dedicated core of talented and engaged users is pretty cool - I don't understand the rush to onboard the rest of the world. I'm used to building for process instead of outcome; it's much more sustainable over time.
The track [I contributed to for songcamp season 2]( is one of my favorite things i've been a involved in.

"How could I induce NASA or the Russians to finally turn the cameras backwards? We could make a button! A button with the demand “Take a photograph of the entire earth.” No, it had to be made a question. Use the great American resource of paranoia… “Why haven’t they made a photograph of the entire earth?” There was something wrong with “entire.” Something wrong with “they.”
