Toward the end of 2012, I had "vowed" not to release any new music until the end of 2013, the reason being that it consumes too much of my time to "administrate" the releases. That is, it's such a devoration of my free time, much to the detriment of and distraction from other activities and pursuits. However, once I had completed the first couple of sets of music of 2013, it became clear to me that to perform all the tasks associated with making public the music I might create this year would require too large a block of time in December for me to plan for or rely upon, and that doing it as I go is much-more time-effiicient.
Even so, I have again assessed the economics of my time, and confirmed anew that revenues from the sale of my music by me fail to compensate me for the time I have spent in service of releasing and publicizing it. For example, My Music by Me Music (my erstwhile employer) owes me in excess of $100,000 in back wages for grapbic design, audio post-production editing and processing, video creation (which I ceased after realizing how time-crunched and under-funded I am to do the video work I'd prefer), legal consultation, book publication, website and content maintenance (across multifarious internetric concerns), music-publishing and copyright registration, correspondence with music vendors to contend with their incompetence or worse, and hours on end passed in figurin'-out how all this dang stuff works or just wha'the heck'm I s'posed t'do.
