I was talking with my parents tonight, and they said they'd be willing to front the money to pay for a cd pressing of 1000 copies, to sell online, and to whoever, so I can get my name out. Id just have to pay them back the cost of the cds, but after that Id get to keep any profits. However... they seem to not understand my point of view. My dad wants it to be a compilation, with all ranges of styles (I write ambient, IDM, trip hop, techno (NOT ALOT... JUST SOME FOR FUN!..... shut up) but I was trying to tell him that I dont want to do that...because people wouldnt want the slew of different styles... it needs consistancy... And some of it I just dont want released (like the techno stuff... hehe)... I have an ideal im going for... Im having trouble explaining this to him... any suggestions on how I can get him to understand? I want this to be like the equivilant of my first album... not a compilation of every style ive ever written... make sense? |

give him a big bag of shrooms & say, "welcome to the party Pops!" |

Tell him that you want the album to be unified, not just a mish mash of various shit |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah... I hope I can convince him to see it my way... cause then that would be really cool... Id get my first album out! |
||||||||
|

|
|
how much would you charge? i've got a few dollars to spend! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh.. i dont know currently the details... maybe 5 bucks for a full length album... does that sound resonable? think people would pay that? |
||||||||
|

|
it would be like a pro quality... jewel case... cover w/art grpahics on the cd itself not just some junk cdr with print outs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well see how much it costs and charge enough to make a bit of profit I'd say... |

my enterprise class in high school made a cd compilation of local bands, and it's a pretty professional job done on it... I forget how many copies we printed, and how much it costed, but we did it... :) |

do you think I should do all cds? or do some records too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who are you going to sell them to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im gonna make a website, and spread the word about it all over the net and then to friends and people at school ( i go to a music school) i might even try to put it in local record stores... stand on the street... anyway to get it out really... |

Well, If you do ambient, it's a must to put out some vinyl too. Whatever it is, whatever format, put me down. If you do both CD and vinyl, put me down for both. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what you need to do is release only 500 copies of your cd (one for me) and then never release it again, and then down the road when you're signed to Warp we'll all start auctioning our copies on Ebay for thousands of dollars!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweet! but why ambeint on vinyl? funk: is this gonna benifit me in getting signed... or benifit you... on the chance i get big... and you cash in on it... ;) |
||||||||
|

|
|
diao: check out my current stuff... enjoy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ummmm, of course it's gonna benefit you... and me as well!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm... maybe i should stop putting my stuff up for free as i write it... if its up for free.. no one will buy my cd! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i would definitely buy a copy. (and i was thinking about doing the same thing.) :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just explain to him that you want to make an ALBUM you want it to be cohesive... so it works as one big piece of art! not JUST a collection of songs.. |
||||||||
