I'm trying to promote but I don't know any experimental electronic music blogs, that would go for leftfield (or whatever you'd call a bunch of different genres) music. Google-searches leaves me with to much EDM-shit to sort it out. Any leads? |
||||||||

|

i'll give it a listen on the strength of this place tho. and i'd ask why you do business w/ spotify? |

the spotify thing, sorry, just hearing about it recently. the whole joe rogan thing is playing out like the obvious arc it is... but, like, a year ago, musician i quite respect who has a policy of "sample anything of mine you want, just credit it, it's cool" comes out on this tear -- you cannot sample me and put it on spotify, i will murder you and this is where i started to gather spotify is something more deeply bad than pandora reducing everything to 128kbps. but even after neil's diamond meltdown, i still didn't really understand. finally, npr did me a favor: you don't get paid a slice per stream, per se. there's a pie, and unless you are in the top, i dunno, hundred or five people streaming, you would be lucky to make enough to buy a happy meal. the people like taylor swift and the weaknd get all the money everyone pays spotify and the people who get a mere 100k streams a month, sorry, fuck off, we're just going to give the subscribe fees / ad dollars people contributed to stream your track 100k times to taylor swift and the weaknd thanks for participating in the music industry |

goats onto all the things, tho. which one? is it any good? i mean, audiomack, deezer. had you heard of these things before you checked a box and send your tunez off there? or is this something more organized We'll get your music into Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Pandora, Amazon, Instagram, YouTube, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Deezer, plus a ton of other stores & streaming services. Keep 100% of your earnings, get paid monthly. In stores 10-20x faster than any other distributor, at a fraction of the price. Pay only $19.99 to upload unlimited albums & songs for a year (our competitors charge at least 2x that just to upload one album). Keep all your earnings—or set up "splits" to automatically route any percentage of earnings, from any track, to anyone. Features you won't find anywhere else. Distribute cover songs legally · Get paid when other people use your music in YouTube · Unlimited backups · Instant Spotify verified checkmark · Manage your Apple Music page · Get your credits & lyrics into stores · Music video generator · Get a YouTube Official Artist Channel · Spotify pre-save · So much more... how much have you made off spotify? |

anyways, sorry. i'll listen to your album. i can't predict how it will integrate with weaselpedia. i'd recommend you send spotify out the airlock; they'll never pay you anyways it sounds. if that's wrong somehow, well, i've yet to hear a contrary perspective |
||||||||

the closest i can think of is facebook groups tagged "idm, leftfield, electronic" etc.. or have a paid service promote you in social media. however we just had that discussion that prmoting in social media is like trying to fill the ocean with pennies. so id suggest just looking out for scoail media groups yourself and sell your album on as many platforms you can. there may be people on board with better hints though! |

yes, spoty needs to re-evaluate its payout system. |

anyway, satori time now! ganbare i masu! |

deezr terms of service: "by checking our box on distrokid, we hereby own your masters, and you are legally obligated to suck the cock of any permanent employee of deezr at penalty of foreskinning all future streaming revenue [62p, optimistically]" |

i had a very honest conversation with myself, that i was not built for touring, nor would i ever be, i'd wind up in the hospital and then rehab, and you can't really not be taylor weaknd and be a professional musician and not be homeless unless you can swing touring revenue. then i guess that might be good if you're good at it; enjoy it. tour all over and break even; nothing left for retirement. but not a bad run |

Thanks for the response. Regarding the Spotify thing; It's just part of the DistroKid package. I really don't care if I earn anything on this music (you can stream your heart out for free on SoundCloud for instance), I just want to be spread out to any listener that might feel the album and enjoy it. Bandcamp has been my favorite tool for many years, but to be honest, most common people out there actually find it confusing and have a hard time conforming to the platform. SoundCloud is great, but when you put up a track and only spammy bots comment and like, it just underlines the small reach I have. In my search for getting in touch with bloggers I found this page called submithub.com, which basically is a 'pay per track' service, where they guarantee to get you played and reviewed on different sites. But to be honest, selecting one track off my record doesn't really earn it justice. It's very much targeted towards an avid album-listener. Also, that site seems a tiny bit scammy. |

I really don't care if I earn anything on this music (you can stream your heart out for free on SoundCloud for instance), I just want to be spread out to any listener that might feel the album and enjoy it. i'm mostly just being old man crab and decrying the abuse, but... i'm not wrong. by checking each of those boxes, i 112% guarantee you agreed to an individual, intricate, complex legal agreement with each one. this was swept into some other checkbox you forgot from the signup process two months ago; by checking this box you agree that checking other boxes lets us legally saddle you with agreement upon agreement. that i have an anxiety attack when confronted by such a menu of options yet most people are content to make 50p and "be spread out," are you considering the price? be spread out, sure. but through these bastards? i wouldn't but just my opinion and stuff, man. good album so far |

chords of bananas has inspired me a lot |

politics (glitch mix) is all 90's hey let's run the drums through a vocoder, or maybe i haven't figured that out and i've tried to make something that sounds like that somehow else and right, that works. but i have to express a certain amount of irritation with time bandits, a million people taking acid in the 90s have recorded this song before. better job that i'd have done with it tho |

scream back to the chords of mandalaha stream, another boc nod i hear |

08 exploring the chill, i meant 09 ground loop i can't remember which boc track you copied here i'm not a big enough fan shit. i almost have it. tip of my tounge |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
augh god now i have to skip through BOC trax until i find it actually first i'll have listened to them in years. i don't say that to be mean. i just prefer fast intricate machines made of drum sounds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

politics (glitch mix) drums are actually two modulated drum-machine vsts, playing in each stereo channel, creating some flangy spacious beat. I had that running on top of the politics track (which is actually a different ambient project, set to release soon), and kinda build the remix on that. time bandits is a combination of a 2006 recording of a drummer-friend of mine, which I later dubbed with my bass-guitar, and then even later mixed together to form this track. |
||||||||
|

|
|
it's probly from MHTRTC. sometimes I just end up making synth-sounds and chord-progressions that sound like rip-offs, but really is my mind subconsciously spitting out boc inspired stuff. I had to cut tracks that were too close to home on that account. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually I think it could be a combination of the synth-sound of Kid For Today and the melody of Amon Bishop Roden. funny I didn't hear that before. I'll just call it an ode now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah agree that's the one i'm flipping through trying to figure it out right now! it's late. i'm tired. it's one of those things where i'll have it in a few seconds of thot tomorrow but tonight i'd best give up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sucks when i discover i've really, really ripped something off. but when i've ripped something off, kinda, and gotten it wrong, kinda -- that's p. great |

I know its the devils bumhole but Umbroman has a Warp/Rephlex fan group on facebook with thousands of people on, people like gasman etc.. post their new music on there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
entrust your masters to DeezrTurbo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what is a firehose like that worth? five quid per post or what |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you talk as if you're bragging, but you're just knowingly discussing umbroman's dominion. that knowing that umbroman runs this group with thousands of alleged people is, in itself, some hush-hush shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
driving for uber, once, picked up some guy that looked exactly like umbroman. i'm fucking done with uber, mind you, this was, like... 2018.... but i pick up this guy, and he looks exactly like umbroman. even acts about how i expect. smells terrible; hadn't thought about that. later i asked umbroman and apparently, no, it was not him. just his dopplewaffle |

facebook is the best place to spam your music if you want to find an audience. i get far more traffic on fb than any other site. spam on the groups. if you used hardware join the groups for the hardware you used and spam there, if you used software join the software groups. some groups to search on facebook: hardware jams, we are the music makers, members of xltronic, synthesizers and drum machines, idm. etc. modwiggler.com has a spam your own tunes section. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and discord is the new thing, there are idm and aphex discords. i have one but not many people there(it's dead), there's an xltronic one run by tony danza/fleetmouse that has more people. we are reasonable people discord https://discord.gg/juy9jEzs i hardly ever go on this one, but i do spam there lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you play live at all? your local area might have a 'scene'. would be good to make friends and share your music. it helps that your music is great. im sure it will find an audience |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks. so i'll carry on and spam. yeah, been playing live for 20 odd years, but the scene in my city is narrow. things are opening up more following post-covid restrictions here though, but i did have a better reach when living in the capitol for sure. |
||||||||
|

great work! certainly boc comes to mind especially track 4 & 11 and they do have some resemblance. maybe boc should have put out some more music .-) when i hear your nice sounding guitar and drum styles i could think about some other quality musicians, but i dont really have to, right? 8. exploring the chill is just so well made like this one very much 12. pink versper i think this could be my fav track of the album. id love you to further pursue this style it´s just the perfect finisher here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thank you. Nice to hear that you enjoyed 'exploring the chill', cause i had to swap the main drumsample, because there was no way i could clear the original sample i used, so to my ears it always feels a bit off, 'cause of my demo-nitis. Pink Vesper seems to be a favorite overall. I might do an extended mix of it for an EP. If you like the style of Pink Vesper, then check out the Marco Passarani album 'Sullen Look' - i was very much inspired by that album, especially for the bass composition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yah, later changes tend to do that. sounds fine to me though :) gonna check that album out, ta! |
||||||||

what really soured me on discord was the ground-floor social pressure to cash the individual discord. BOOST, ok. can i pay twenty quid and get us more things? oh... um... no, i have to pay every month, and another 15 people also have to pay every month, or we delete all the good shit enjoy that. |
