Musicians here....
How often do you listen to your own music? Does it help, say, going to sleep, soothing, is it a source of anxiety? Can you listen to your older stuff?

Re: Musicians here....
i dont write music i'm not into, but going back to listen to older stuff can certainly bring the lols.

Re: Musicians here....
I listen to my old 4-track punk band alot still to this day and play it for people. I'm going back to keeping it simple, I can't listen to any CDs or 7s I've played on with other bands because it brings nothing but shitty memories back on my how much I fucking hated the people I was with, where I was living, the idiot music scene, can't do it. I really can't wait to do another band however. It will be more recording based but I do miss playing shows. I dunno, keep playing I guess.

Re: Musicians here....
sometimes I can break out a cd-r with some songs I wrote and still be like "woah! I did that?"
I guess it just amazes me a little that I can be somewhat creative/expressive, if I actually put my dick away, and put my mind to it.

Re: Musicians here....
I often listen to music in a passive setting - whilst doing other focused activities like house chores / reading / feeding the pythons so it's tough to remain focused when my own stuff is being played.

It's like 60/40, my own and others. I wrote an essay explaining how and why and then deleted it because no one gives a shit.

Re: Musicians here....
all the damn time
most of the stuff i record now are extended semi-ambient pieces, so on top of just listening to it for the sake of listening to my own music, it's pretty good background stuff, lol

Re: Musicians here....
I keep some in my iPod , and if it comes up on shuffle, I listen. But I never go out of my way to listen to listen to old recordings, unless it's unfinished demos.

Re: Musicians here....
but to answer the original question.
I don't listen to my stuff that often... if ever (depending on how old it is).

Re: Musicians here....
Whenever I have something new mixed, I tend to listen the fuck out of it for a few days. It's a sort of ritual of self-congratulation, I suppose.

Re: Musicians here....
According to my Last.fm chart, far too often.....
Really though, i often find myself listening to recent recordings, to see how happy i am with them. The last recording my old band did, i was totally stoked on at first. But after a few listens, i started finding things that could be improved. So did the other guys, so we ended up re-mixing it, and it came out a lot better. Another recording where i was kinda not into the final product at first, after a few listens i was okay with it. Occasionally i'll bust out some older stuff, mostly for nostalgia.
A few people i've been in bands with will play our stuff for anyone they can get into a room with a stereo. Gets kind of old to be around real quick. Ha.

Incalculably stupid, i trust you'll agree.

Re: Musicians here....
Often enough. I am genuinely stoked on the stuff we record, so I like listening to it. Also, it gives me a chance to stay familiar with it when we aren't playing the songs for a while during new song writing, and it let's me find little themes we repeat to stay away from.

Re: Musicians here....
None of the music I've ever made has been really "good", but the earliest stuff is still fun to listen to every once in a while, just because I can hear how driven I was, and how much passion I had for whatever stupid project at the time. This is a zero-budget demo. I mailed that tape to you, Bored! Least listen-to-able is the same band's later stuff that involved studio time, and was all the more agitating for sucking considering the input effort. Frustrating.
I have my bedroom lifemetal shit in progress now, and that's a lot of fun to listen to because if something bothers me, I can make it better. So yeah, I listen to that stuff a lot - perpetual work in progress! I've got so much to learn about music and I'm not too inherently talented... if I produce something one decent song before I die I'll consider it an accomplishment.
Back to original topic, I have one acoustic guitar lullaby thing that I do find soothing, so yes to that. Again, work in progress

Re: Musicians here....
I listened to an old band I used to be in about a year ago. I remember it being about a year since I'd listened to it until that moment. I fucking loved it. Listened to it twice. Even louder the second time. Haven't thought about it since...

I listen to about 5 mins of my old band and that`s more than enough for about a year.

Rarely. Maybe once a year I'll get drunk and nostalgic and throw some on.
My old band is doing a reunion show after 5+ years so I've listened to some of that recently.
