Recorded and Released

Recorded and released a finished audio or video work, album, EP, short film, podcast episode, to a public platform.

The idea

The release is harder than the recording for most kids. The work sits in a folder while they tell themselves it isn't ready. Set the release date first. Tell five people that date out loud. The deadline pulls the polish forward. Without a date, the work stays unfinished forever and the kid learns finishing is impossible. Pick a date. Tell people. Ship anyway.

Steps
  1. Set the release date before recording.
  2. Record multiple takes of the hard parts.
  3. Pick the public platform before finishing.
  4. Release it. Tell the people who said they were curious.
What counts

A finished audio or video work released publicly. The link to the work is plenty.
