New bio

hey guys.

After the response from the original bio at my site, I
decided to change the bio.

So here it is... stripped down and simple.

I also changed the overall feel of the site... making it
seem less personal, and thus adding some "mystery" to it.
(as many people advised me to do)

so, what do you think? is this better?

any thoughts and comments are welcome and appriciated!

Kcinsu.com

Kcinsu has a plethora of unreleased material dating back
to when he was 14. Extremely limited numbers of tapes where
given to close friends and family. Kcinsu has almost his
entire history of recorded work in his possesion. These
works are, and will remain unreleased.


i dont really know what to say now

i didn't read the original version of your bio... so i
couldn't say if this was an improvement or not.

But as it is, your site seems serious and professional...
like your music really.

"These works are, and will remain unreleased."

I guess this isn't really interesting yet. Maybe when
you've made a couple of cd's and gathered a fanbase... stuff
like this will tickle their curiourisity :-p (like BoC and
all their early tapes and demos). But the average visitor
who visits your site now and doesn't know your music will
most likely just think "so what?"

But still i think you should keep it this way. If you keep
updating the site very detailed and with everything that
happens with kcinsu... in the end it will become very
interesting because you've kept a detailed biography from
the very beginning. Maybe you should even add all the dates
of when you made the updates.

thanks man :)

although the dates arnt on the site, i have logs of it, in
the control area.

I see what you mean about the unreleased thing

but Ill leave it like this for now. I want this to be
detailed in my history... and even though it might not be
important to people yet (or ever) I still want to document
it all :)

thanks again

(yes, serious/professional is my aim)

i agree totally
and it are sentences like this one that make ppl turn
against you, which happens quite often as you have surely
noticed. it just sounds so redicolous, that's also why i
quoted it.

btw, there is no offence intended this time

myself. and who does not know you from here most probably
does not even take notice

"it just sounds so redicolous"

Well i don't think it sounds ridiculous. It just doesn't
really interest me so far. When i read that about the
unreleased material, i didn't think: "damn... i wish i could
get my hands on those!"... because at this moment zeus is
just an internet-artist who aspires to become more succesful
(like there are millions of others). And i'm not
particularly obsessed with him or his music.

But if he does manage to become a succesful artist,
than i think it'll work just great, and people will love to
see the stuff he wrote on his site today. Back in the
days when he was still in musicschool and only dreamt of a
musical-career ;-)


Sites like this are never great when they've just started,
they need to grow and be regularly updated to become great
over time.

So seriously, if you're really going to try to make music
more than a hobby (and i think you are, since i've heard you
say you're attending some sort of musicschool) i think you
should be stubborn and just keep the site as it is, no
matter what anyone says about it now. It just sounds very
ambitious (that's also what makes it look serious and
professional), and some people think that looks ridiculous.
But if you believe in your music, you won't care.

'not catalouged' doesn't strike me as perfect spelling
either, zeus :P

i like the look of your site, though. and the layout +
usability.

the discog as it's there now is super pretentious but hey at
least you've got your own style ;)

just the text in your bio. as pointed out by others in this
thread :) i mean, it's pretty pointless to say that you've
got tons of tracks lying around that you're never ever going
to publish. why mention it, i wonders. other than that your
site looks professional

BoC didnt invent the mix tape :-D

nice bio.

short and simple.

the discog thing: oh dear. not a good idea. this basically
just says: I have no discog, I have not released anything.

and it does look silly now - you haven't released anything
but somehow you think we (the public) are interested to know
you have lots of material lying around..?
