Have U ever considered, or are U already making commercial (read: radio friendly) music under another name ? I'm personally thinking about making some 2-step-like tracks under another moniker,.for the sake of cashflow. A friend of mine has been signed recently to midtown records for 5 trance tracks. Although I hate trance ,I can imagine making some tunes to try and make some dough for further financing my studio. |

he he,...yeah,..I can't actually! I'm in a lawsuit against my former employer 'cause of an illegal ending of our contract! If I start somewhere else now,.I probably fuck up my chances in court.(I'll spare U the details) But uhm,..my music is working for me,.last year I had 2 releases,.some airplay,...+ I'm negociating with a production company for a musical score for adds. |

isen't it "prostitution" to work every day with anything you don't care about? I say do it man it's a lazy shit job, writing house or trance is not werry hard. and the litle i've herd of the crap tells me that the record companys arn't to concerned with how it sounds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well,..I don't plan on making shitty house all the time.(hell no!) When I compare the studio's my friends work in, to my silly set-up,..I can;t help but feel jealous! And they're making bullshit music with all their synths |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I occassionaly force myself to make a "nice sounding" (read: popular) track, just to prove I can. |
||||||||

If you have some 'bubbly-catchy-pseudo-d&b' tracks around 45 seconds, you can be on any commercial in America..... but, in the end you just have to know someone.... |

True that Smeagle! My first release on a comp. wasn't because I send out a demo,.but because the guy who designed the cd-cover got hold of my cd through a mutual friend. He then told the label boss about my music,....... This designer has also done covers for the label Musik aus Strom(=funkstorung) and Clone(=funckarma) |

Any arist got their commercial side-projects online? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes,i had the same idea! but i´m no good at making crap music, it can only turn good, and people dont like that generally. |
||||||||
|

I know what you mean,...trying to construct a sell-out house tune,..just can't help to slip a quick breakbeat in ,..or add some signature trademarks. HHHHmmmm,..some guy I know makes the interludes on Dutch TV for SBS 6 & Fox. He also does intro/outro music for different programs. Everytime a tune of his get aired ,he receives royalties,....basterd is already fuckin'rich. And he was bragging to me how his 'alternative' friends were still broke and he is makin' the big-bucks with synth presets and ripping off sample-cd's |

I like this! i also considered doing commercial music!!!! please ask your friend how he got into the business!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if people continue making popular brainless, formulaic-to-an-embarassing-degree music, then the charts won't evolve -- the mass won't get educated past kylie minogue or some shit pseudo-techno tune |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all u have to do is invoke satan, tell himto remove his underwear, and SUCK HIS COCK --oh, and haven't you considered the possibility of getting addicted to making join-the-dots music because of the pay check -- imagine getting up in the morning and thinking "now will i get to work on that sonic terrorism dope track i dreamt of last nite, or work on that chart-track which'll get me another 10 grand" |

well the basterd followed a course in Hilversum here in Holland ,..some audio/mastering course where he had to follow an intern(?) stage (?) at some fancy hotshot studio. He probably was at the right place/time etc and off course had a lot of luck meeting the right people who acknoledged his commercial talent. |
||||||||
|

ask him what satan's cum tastes like |
||||||||
|
|

Hmm. yeah. i want to sell my soul i have no integrity for music!!! money is money! |
||||||||

Marlowe I understand the overal feel off your critic,..I myself are most skeptical about making commercial music,..but hey I'd like to buy a 'Korg Triton' too or the new 'Virus whatever'. Hhhmm,..the most commercial project I'll be working on in the next month is a Hip Hop track for my brother. whose a upcoming underground mc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, no offense to your friend, i just think whoring your soul / talent is nauseous --- getting a job is a question of whoring your time and not dying - whoring your soul is a different matter |
||||||||

Theres lots of underground IDM artists that also have (secret) commercial side-projects going on,...(somebody like Nautilis pops in my mind) The scene in electronic music isn't (thank god) as big as pop music. So people have to branch out to make some quick do. I guess it also depends on how commercial you're willing to go,..a hardcore hip hop instrumental is commercial in my book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is a different between being deliberately commercial, and commerciality being a by-product. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree,.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course I've considered it, but I dunno if I would do trance, metal, produce hip hop tracks, or what... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm gonna start a shitty pop/boyband. I despise everything about that music except the money and the women. The sadder part is is that I could get on stage and tell all my fans that and they'd still like me...God I hate pop music. Anyone wanna be in my money making sceme? |

If you just decide to make conventional music, you still won't make any money. There's even more artists competing for publicity there. Counterfit money is the best way to go. |

My sceme is falling to into place...Women, money, and fame shall all soon be mine! |

say jonas, who was that friend who studied in hilversum and is making leaders now? I think i am doing the same study (music technology / audio design) and i might know him..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i believe thats called selling out. comprimising your beliefs for the sake of money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but on the plus side, you won't have to worry about your soul, because it will be sold to a corporation. |

Well it isn't HKU KMT if you're going to that school! I actually applied there for "composition electronic music" ,..I'm still waiting for feedback on my application. Without giving to much info on him,.his first name is Pieter. He lives/works in Druten (netherlands) and he actually isn't a friend of mine,.....the employer I'm sewing right now also did his insurances,..and he came often to visit and chat during breaks as he had a studio nearby the office,...... Hey ,but Slempet U also was on that comp. from Jasper right? 'Expertise',.that was a dope track man! RZPCT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks! yeah i was on that compilation. twas my first release as well... your madshit was nice too, but i heard a track of yours on the radio some time ago that i liked better.... don't remember the name though. I must say that there's a couple of really nice tracks on that album...i especially liked the ones from mr. projectile, adam johnson, funckarma and disasemble. |

Marlowe, what's the difference between selling out and selling out with music? Making shit music is like you said perpetuating the horrible pop music but working a 9 to 5 for something you care nothing about for a corporation who's sole purpose is profit is perpetuating the horrible material focused lifestyles that so many live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mc hammer was a sell out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is a difference between working at a shit job for minimum wage so that you can focus on your passion and making a career in advertising, or the oil industry, or as a PR consultant or as an Independant Financial Adviser or any other Satanic job |
