Heads It Is... Caricatures and Music


Was playing around with the VITAL vst presets and found the main sound that starts this. Really liked it and inspired to make the rest of it.

The extended version on Bandcamp:

Happy and Bouncing along. Get tired of the dystopia and negative. 

I do caricatures every so often, sometimes often.  But there is this thing where if I don't get the likeness right in the first quick rough sketch, it can take ages fussing with it. Love the getting it right first go, and hate fussing with one.

This is just a few put into the 57sec version of music. Was very quick to do.

The music was pretty much first takes, but pretty much is just a variation on the same song done dozens of times previously.  A bit like going to an Artist Exhibition and seeing 20 paintings or prints that are very similar like Yayoi Kusama Iconic Polka Dot & Pumpkin Posters. Artists do that.

I just make stuff and throw it on the internet, to be seen between 0 and 200+ if I make an under 60 second short of it. I don't have an officially registered music publishing business or any of that, as the costs to me don't make sense to do that. I don't have a Patreon or $5 albums on Bandcamp either having experimented with a Kindle book and other things since 2001 and seeing the ROI I got.

Just a hobby. I could be spending my time sculpting or making model cars, which I do sometimes, which are the types of things that aren't "a side hustle". Think very few make any real money with music these days, unless of course you are Distrokid, Spotify or Bancamp. They sell the dream.
