It is depressing to notice that I finish only 10% of my songs that I start nowdays. The figure used to be so much higher a few years back and nearly 100% during the first few years after I discovered Impulse Tracker.
The driving force, the motivation to finish every idea I have, is long gone now. Completing my ideas has become more or less superfluous to me now that I don’t desperately seek feedback to my work anymore. The actual composing is the fun part, afterall.
At least I have alot of skeletons of songs waiting for the final touch in my drawer. I know that some day I’ll finish each one of them. Or not.

I know exactly what you mean — I’m in exactly the same predicament. :/ Nice site, btw.
I kind of understand that stage, but in my case, it’s in the writing. Anywayz, don’t let those factors stop you from creating.
Cheers.
Here's a small fraction of my imagination for you to listen to. You can play the songs just by clicking on them.
I am Sampo Närhi, a Finnish homo sapiens sapiens. I was raised into a family of musicians and other artists. Needless to say I’m a bit peculiar. I also am one of those people who drink too much coffee, stay up too late and never can find a pen when it’s needed. This, I believe, is quite common among artists.
I spend my days by drinking too much coffee while staring blankly at my computer screen, waiting for revelations - ideas for new songs. Those occur very rarely nowdays unless I have a project to concentrate my thoughts on.
Electronic music is my forte, which of breakbeat, drum’n’bass, ambient and industrial are the closest to my heart. Despite that, I like to think myself as a very versatile composer, since I have the means and the experience to work on almost anything. I also have a fetish for ethnic percussions and post-apocalyptic stuff.
I believe mood is what makes and defines music. It doesn’t have to be complex to be awesome, it doesn’t have to have a clear structure with many different parts to be good. All music really needs is a carefully crafted atmosphere that makes the listener really feel something.
Want to collaborate? Got a project that needs music? Want to sell me dramamine? Just feel an urge to say hello? Just drop me a mail and I'll get back in touch with you asap.
You can find me or my music also from various other places.
