Hey!
So I've been messing around with music production since 2018 when I first discovered logic x by accident. And years later I've got a huge "dataset" of studies, projects, demos and one-offs that I'm open to share with anyone who is willing to learn or develop or mutate this stuff.
I see this dataset as a raw, unfiltered musical subconscious that is curious about ambient textures, hip/hop grooves and strats, and subs with a penchant for rhymes, and an ear towards jazz. Of course I didn't know it at the moment but in retrospect that's what it is.
There's some valuable ideas in there, and we can sort of connect and trade production workflows and build a discord or train young humans and get better at doing this if you're up for it. So if you're someone who'd like to perhaps do this for a living and are already spending most of your time connected to being musical in some form or fashion whether it is transcribing or playing open mics while crisscrossing the country or drafting songs, then maybe this is for you, so you can develop another aspect of your skill.
As to the contents of the projects here's a rough idea :
+ Ableton Sketches : 16 bars of thematic music
+ Investigate : An ambient album inspired by Laurie Speigel and made mostly on the Operator Synth. It's star trek meets invader zim
+ Music, for Cafés : A beattape I recorded in the summer of 2023 full of musical ideas largely unfinished.
+ Ringtones : A beattape made entirely on my old iPhone (2023) in a week. Then mixed later on logic.
+ SHYGUY : Hip/Hop EP recorded in a small garden shed
+ Sketches in Vain : Mini Beattape I used to teach myself beatmaking
+ Drifting : Ambient music inspired by Brian eno
+ Audio Cues : A one-off project that mixed archival footage from Internet Archive with songs. I kind of made it while sleeping on the floor of a warehouse and was unemployed.
My purpose in making this post is first to create a feedback loop, second to support anyone starting their musical journey.

TL;DR I made a lot of music on my way to 10000 beats. It taught me how to be more musical and I didn't share any of it until now. I'm open to sharing these project files to anyone who wants to learn or can find value in there.
