https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | if a big corporation wanted to sponsor you would you be down? | i am not pursuing sponsorships, but actually if one of the companies that makes the products that i Actually Use (such as the computer/phone i use, or the instruments i use) ... i might consider it. but i would seek an incredibly low key sponsorship, which would probably not have me doing any ads. ideally the only difference would be i would stop ignoring questions about what gear and software i use. |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | When will you make another video, like the one on japan. I like those long videos. There really cool. | i am working on one now. they take a long time, and there is also another type of thing that is simultaneously very important to me. i am in the process of figuring out how to balance those 2 things |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | i need someone to talk too ): | me to |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Have you already made your full length songs? When will you post them? | during the last 5, no fuck it, 7 years, i have been writing them in massive, massive quantities. i started recording a few of them in 2009 and continued to reacord many throughout 2010. but i also kept writing even more. then i wrote more. then i recorded a few in 2011, and stlil wrote more. some of them were fragments. in 2012 i started organizing the fragments and writing on all of them, and finishing many of them. i wrote constantly with no recording for the next couple years. in 2014 i started making short videos regularly, and recording a song (picked from the archive) once a week. but the longer ones couldn't really get done that often because i was on such a tight schedule. the success i've had with videos has gotten in the way of having time to do songs. research videos also became important to me, so i had to tackle that. now that that door is at least opened, i think it's time to think about songs. to clarify, every song i've ever recorded has been released (except for maybe 1 or 2 which came out really bad). there are many many many many more written, and many more partially written, and i feel like my songwriting is in a better place now than ever before, after all the practice i got in 2012/13, as well as all the practice i got doing all those jingle vines. i probably over answered your question. Trust me, if i had stuff recorded, i would post it. the defining problem of my life is that i can't record nearly as fast as i can write |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Is there coming a new big video out soon like the history of japan? or nah? | i am heavily divided right now. history and/or research videos is enormously important, and i want to do as many as possible, but also releasing a huge amount of songs (including ones in the 2 or 3 minute range) is something i have been working toward for most of my life. (i spent all of 2012 and 2013 writing!) so if i don't figure that out soon, my life will explode. But i also don't want to drop the research/history thing, because it is also very important to me, and i know many many people are also eagerly awaiting it. i am trying to figure out how to not fragment my career. yesterday i actually started writing a research/history video, and i am very confident in where it's going, but i am also gravely aware that if i don't jump seriously into recording songs in large quantities, i may die. that being said, i have a 1 minute song all set with video that will be coming out next week, which might help kick things off. i'm really not sure if i'm going to push full speed ahead with this history video now, or try to push forward with songs, or whatever. reaching this decision is exactly what i will be doing for the next couple days. it is very precarious |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | What do you do for your own entertainment? | hardly anything anymore. i am trying so hard to finish what i have started. some of the unproductive things i used to enjoy doing are anagrams, jamming out with myself sloppily on jazz tunes or other cover tunes, studying the history of the world, studying historic maps, walking insanely long distances through cities and towns, particularly on roads that are the original historic roads, ..... many of these things i have actually managed to work into my career in a productive way (history, anagrams...) and i have posted many of the jazz jam sessions in an obscure section of my website. but really i can't afford to lose any time now. there is just too much work to do. so i try to make sure everything is directed toward the video and/or music content that i am releasing, in a timely manner |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | How long have you been creating videos in general?
(You're great at what you do, by the way. Trust this internet stranger). | i didn't start experimenting with it until late 2010, and i had wanted to do it years before that and knew i could do it but i didn't know where to start. after making a couple experimental videos i didn't really do too much at all, and focused on songs and songwriting for several years, and then finally around 2014 i snapped and started making videos every day. and posting them online |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | are you still in the middle of a bed bath and beyond? | i have never been to a bed bath and beyond |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | what kind of tone/keys do you use during your audio improvs? i'd love to discuss that more. | i just use a standard rhodes sound. on the keyboard i currently use, it happens to have vibrato set to the mod wheel (the wheel next to the pitch bend wheel) and i have fallen in love with that feature. but it is just a regular rhodes sound. i can tell you what brand if you email me. but i don't like to brag about brands publically when i don't have a sponsorship. although my keyboard is visibile in many many videos, and many fans have recognized it |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | do you think at some point you should start...having separate archive pages for all of these questions by month | yes. we'll see how big a text only page really has to get before it actually becomes slow. but i am willing to break it up when ever that happens. for now i think it is pretty nifty having it all on one page |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | have you always been such a prolific artist? | yes |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Have you suffered from an existential crisis recently? How have you coped, if at all? | |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | in one of the journals you referred to text as a "forgotten medium". could you explain what you meant by that? | many years ago before i really made songs or videos, i spent a lot of time using just text. it was a creative outlet that was very easy and quick. i always figured i would eventually turn some of that material into videos. as other things took over, (songwriting, improvising) i guess i would sometimes forget about the massive amount of text. i think i ultimately decided that the text should stay as text, and just be posted as is. although so far i have posted maybe 2% of it. every few months i go through and find more stuff to add |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Has someone ever told you to "just be yourself" and if so what did you think of the advice? Are you yourself right now or not? | i think it's very common advice, also very good advice, although perhaps a bit obvious. these days i am usually the one saying it, especially on this page. it is also my |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Professionalism aside, do you get angry, prideful or stubborn when/if you get corrected on how to play something when working? | it's fine! nobody has time to learn every detail of the damn songs. we help each other out. although i honestly correct people more than they correct me, and it might be a bad habbit i'm not sure |
