Thinking about the future

Recently, I've started reconnecting to my music. Ive started playing and writing again. I have a 'sound' I am after, and I am getting it...but I am not sure of what my *goal* is. Am I working on an album? Am I working on performance material? If I intend to perform, what venue would have me? would I just stream from home and post to youtube?

And does the world even *need* or *want* another NoiseTheorem album? Do I need to do one? Ive always tried to remain realistic about my music. I don't make it for an audience outside of, really, close friends and and internet friends that do similar kinds of noodling about.

So what do I do? Where do I go? What is the purpose of all of this?

Then there is the thought that I should maybe see if I can find a collaborator or two or just contribute to someone else's project. Then I wouldn't have to think about any of that. I'd just have to show and do whatever they needed. The artistic vision would be their problem. Of course, who needs the input of a 51 year old nutter with only one good ear left and a bit of carpel tunnel syndrome messing with their hands?

I don't have answers. So I am just going to go play.
