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

Pretty much all of them 😂😭

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.
