i feel left behind (lemmy.world)

context: i have a musical project on my own (had a line up but i broke it off bc we werent getting anywhere) and I would really want to expand it, maybe find someone who is willing to play my music, but its been hard. My music is a little complicated both rhythmically and compositionwise and its hard finding ppl who can keep up with it and that's understandable: not everyone has grown up listening to jazz and is a music theory nerd like me. The problem is, my former drummer entered a band that does the same genre i do (shoegaze) and they're already taking gigs and whatnot. Thus i feel like I'm behind in that regard, that i will never be able to make my music into something. Rn it's more of a bedroom solo project and I'm afraid it'll just keep being that

Comparing yourself to others is a sure way to be unhappy. Instead you could compare yourself to your past self.

It's just how things are when we are into niche stuff, I went through this a lot when I was younger. You need to adapt: turn the project solo, look for online collaborators, find an established shoegaze community locally and introduce them to your ideas slowly...

I wish I had some good advice to give, but all I have to say is that rhythmically complex shoegaze sounds like a really cool idea, and I hope you have some success in the future!

It looks like the mod here (Lexam) just gave you the green light to share if you feel comfortable. I’d love to hear it!
