Video exhaustion
I recently started taking advantage of the library card I’ve had for 3 years (support your local library!) and basically never used to read the sequels to my favorite sci-fi book The Three-Body Problem. (It’s an excellent book series that I highly recommend to virtually anyone.)
Since then I’ve really struggled to enjoy or even want to watch much video. It’s excruciating to me these days. I don’t want to stare at a tv screen for an hour let alone a phone screen for 17 seconds. I think this is a fascinating development though it’s frustrating given how hard everything has leaned into video.
I keep trying to make li’l videos to promote the current single and I just can’t bring myself to right now. It’s even more draining than it already was. The fact that this doesn’t bode well for “building my audience” doesn’t feel great, but I keep telling myself that the audience I seek does not need a 90-second video to consider the depth & scale of music I put into the world.
