...to send to labels? a) A singles worth of stuff b) An EP's worth of stuff c) An albums worth of stuff d) Pornographic playing cards |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find Pornographic playing cards work best when you want a positive response from sending mail to some stranger... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
e. everything else |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Then the playing cards with which of the other three? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
f. none of the above |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say about 4 tracks, so an EP's worth of stuff! |
||||||||

It is a serious question...I have been making music for 4 months now and I can't wait any longer to get signed to a label :D!!!! *Shameless plug* btw I have a demo of a new track off my EP called Granuslags (the EP is called that too) It is on my zebox site ...if you would like to listen and tell me if it good quality for a demo CD I would appreciate it... *Shameless plug over* |

an E.P. would be best if you have four killer tracks, but if you've got only the one send that...you don't need to show your 'range', you need to grab their attention. It doesn't need to be full tracks, If you can compile 4 of the best bits of your tracks and put them on one CD that'd be best. Think of advertisements where they are sooo brash, everything is stuffed into 40 seconds. No label has got time to listen through albums and albums worth of demo tapes, make it as direct as possible! |

I don't know, I haven't looked for ages...I'll have a look.... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Good advise...I have never thought of it like that before. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ok - I was just checking if it was OK with you to send you a CD - just say yes or no here to save you looking through your mails :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could also try sending some ketamine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'd love one! I just had a look at my mail and it'll take me all night to find it...I'll reply tomorrow though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what label?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK bro -- would you like me to put some dirty porn on it too :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't care, I was thinking something like Def Jux. I will probably send out about 20 mostly to smaller labels but I will try my luck with Warp & Rephlex as well I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you must......! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK then - just add a list of your favourite 'genres' and I'll see what I can do :P |
||||||||

ecnadniarb: the track granuslags is pretty good programming and sound wise, do you have a version that develops as a full track? Shame to leave it at :38 Less into nf1xrhxmix, like the dirty organic sound but not into the melodic/harmonic aspects. Also it could use a bit more structured development, has a bit of a 'random' sound. listening to mithranixNF1XMIX, kinda cool, I'd say it also needs work although its better than the previous one, more organized and song like. I would drop the drums harder at some point, more snares. Pretty good if this is what your making after four months though, keep at it. |

anyway, Lee - I dragged this off-topic, so I'll drag it back ON-topic -- good luck with sending out your demoes ! I really like your stuff ! :) "But you already know that," to quote Louis Tully from Ghost Busters :) |

I've allways dreamt of a pygmie wet t-shirt competition, in Ireland. we'd better stop, we're hijacking ecnadniarb' thread... |

don't bother sending to Def Jux, they're not into anything that's not explicitly hip-hop. Not to cramp your style but I'd say make some more songs before you send out a demo, I don't think you'll get signed where your at now. Please take this in the spirit of constructive criticism, I'm not dissing your music, I think it shows potential. |

Thanks for listening :D Granuslags is only 30 seconds from a 4 minute peice with more variation. nf1xrhxmix shouldn't still be up there it wasn't a real track and I thought I had deleted it :D mithranixNF1XMIX was my entry into the globalgoon comp, it is about a month old now and it shows :P I have a lot more new stuff I am working on...I am really happy with two other tracks I am about 50% through at the moment and I have ideas for other tracks. It is only over the past two weeks I have starting being able to get ideas out of my head on into some sort of music. |
