If you had some really cool original music you'd make enough money to live on , but since the late 90s that has become rare and so you need to either make generic dubstep or wank and cry yourself to sleep |

This is correct. Most D-list "IDM" artists such as Ceephax make music that has limited appeal outside of a small sausage-fest of bespectacled weedy urban mummy's boys who have limited musical experience beyond kneeling at the altar of Aphex Twin and anything that has the words "Rephlex" printed on the sleeve. In other words, bedroom electronic music producer minus talent equals weekend hobby. |

fastest way? make a track that crosses over and is played by everyone and everything. use this to get gigs the world over every week. even when people stop caring about the track in question, your name is known and you'll continue to get gigs perpetually. sorted. eventually it'll all fade away though. better to get a skill outside of music imo, if only to fall back on when it all goes tits up. oh and don't think for one second you can make a full-time living just releasing music. |

Hello, there's no such thing as IDM. It is a fake genre. What a thicko you are Bill Burroughs!!! |
||||||||

|

yeah, luckily i make money on every release! it's only because i sell direct though and manage to sell all my units. still nowhere near enough to make a comfortable living on, though that's how it is for everyone, even the really big artists. performing live is the only way you'll ever make a living through music alone, at least for 99% of people. |

vibert said in a interview. That he got 10,000gbp for the nine inch nails remix he did. That those days are gone and he was lucky to make that much money per year, gigging. |

best thing is not to care and do what you gotta do regardless... in 10 years or so they will have stitched everything up, either that or there will be no electricity anyway |

fuck everyone else, fuck the cynical, jaded zilty/other messageboard bawlers that never do anything themselves. have a laugh and be confident what you do, and you will have a good time. you might not get much money out of it, but if you thought so in the first place, you might be too mental to reach anyway. |

That's fun allright?? I assume you don't have plans to become a millionaire making music? Maybe you have dreams..but in reality everybody knows that's just for the few amongst us. |

Making money with IDM, that idea is laughable |

get a hat. put it down in front of you on a street corner. press play on tape machine. dance. people throw change and billz in hat. = make money out of music. |

i wish there were more street musicians,using tape decks. |

create a new genre of trendy music. get signed to warp, release one dodgy record. never be heard of again. Basically at the moment nobody is making any money apart from the big boys. It is about holding on to what you have. |
||||||||
|

rad smiles: that IS pretty much what most musicians have to do to make a living out of doing it anyway (minus the tape machine , depending ) |

There are plenty of ways to make money from your music, if you've spent long enough refining your skills, and you have enough confidence to sell yourself. |

What he said. There was a time when I was about 20 where I considered doing music full time and would have been able to have at least made a living from the DJing side of it alone. I DJed at a wedding once and it paid well compared to little indie clubs I used to play IDM and DnB in at in Bristol, but I realised I wasn't enjoying it and it was becoming "work". I thought I could either make it a hobby and just do what I liked, or forget enjoying it and try and make a living at it. I'm so glad I didn't; I anticipated the industry going the way it has, but I had no idea it would go so far, so soon. Music making is just a hobby for me these days. I don't even bother ULing tracks any more or sharing them with people other than my close friends, that part of "releasing" them always seemed a chore to me. Now I have no aspirations to make even a penny from it means that I don't feel the need to even do that. |

Be an attractive female, make videos for all your tracks in which you expose large amounts of clevage. Quality of music doesn't matter |

Or: snap up cheap rare LPs/CDs/etc in 2nd hand stores or ebay, tidy them up, sell them on to niche buyers for profit. I made enough that way in the early 2000s to pay for a few nights in the pub anyway you didn't say making money out of writing music! |

Completely embarrass yourself in some way on youtube in a really popular way. Make the next chocolate rain or friday, etc, then just ride the coattails of the fame. |
