I sent one demo too Planet mu last week cause the few that listen to my tracks when I post them really gave me some of that confindence stuff I lack : ) Actually I think Im going to make a thread with 3 of my newest songs and you guys could tell me if I should send out demos or not : ) |

I spam my music on here, my livejournal, watmm and tefosav. That's about it. I used to play gigs but don't anymore, and I sent out one demo once to rephlex liek 3 years ago. I'm trying to get good enough so I don't have to promote myself at all. |

1) i've never even put together a collection of my stuff. 2) nah. pain in the ass. 3) *shrugs* when i make a new track i post it here. s'about it. occassionally other places. but nobody ever says anything except for people around here. 4) nope. 5) i have once. it was scary. 6) nope. 7) me (sometimes). and then i always think my friends just tell me they enjoy my stuff to make me feel good. and that makes me a little sad. but oh well. |

Q4Z2X: I appreciate that. Thank you. btw, I've sent a couple friends on here CD-Rs, were you still interested in getting one? Just let me know whenever. Oddio: If you're interested I have a handful of mp3s here: ... and a sort of recent one . Let me know what you think. I've heard bits & pieces of your stuff, but not enough to really know. I thought that trk that you and Skink did together was nice. |

that'd be great. i'll be finishing up putting the final touches my collection of tracks very soon.., and hopefully getting my burner to actually work, then i will send the discs out to some labels and people who are interested.. i will send you an email .. and we should do a disc exchange. |

"..final touches on my collection.." that is.. |
||||||||
|

I'd like that a lot. Whenever you're all set. |

|

which labels have you sent material to? I'm sending different demos to different labels.. each highlighting an aspect of the music I make that best identifies with that particular label's sensibilities Skam is one.. and Music 70 is another |

This thread's got me quaking in the knees! I've never even thought about this sort of thing. |

although i enjoy positive feedback from listeners at xltronic, i'm generally motivated to make music for my own interest and pleasure. i would only seek to release music on a label if i felt people would be interested in buying it, and the interest is, i think, not there. personally, i have no interest in marketing or promotion. currently, it is *virtually* impossible to make (significant) money releasing electronic music. the market is small and is shrinking. if you're not seeking self-validation or approval from your peers, there's not much reason to pursue selling music when you can give it away to those who are interested. |

1) do you send demos out frequently (once every couple of weeks or every month)? how many have you sent out in the last year? never sent out any demos 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? no 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? every once in a while 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) not jet 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? sure do 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? maybe 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? i could count them on one hand :) i thought the question was going to be: how hard do you try, when you make your music. recently i'd say, not very ... mm |

music70? are you kidding? that's a vanity label. name any other artist that has had a release on music70 besides BoC. you can't. it's not really a label. |
||||||||
|
|

|

let's see i've sent to: intikrec, lunaticworks, rephlex, planet mu, skam, intransitive, mego, klankrieg (but it came right back for some reason), activesuspension, tsunami-addiction, crazyfungus, rocketgirl, and at least 20 other labels i can't think of off the top of my head. clic, i'm downloading yours. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah - i've also sent off to tigerbeat6 and some local texas labels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and by the way, if you want to hear mine, there's a link within this thread. i'm downloading "everyone you love is dead." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are some texas labels?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

what kinda responses have you gyus had? Just curious to hear. Personally i dont do any music. just intrested |
||||||||

1) no. 0 2) one of my tracks was played on our local illegal station in april'03 3) never 4) no 5) rarely 6) publish? no... have only one copy of each 'release' (for internal use) 7) fans?..... maybe somewhere about five (among my friends)....(and my dad^_^) |
||||||||
|

hmmm.. crazyfungus is the only one i know that's specifically electronic right now, but i don't think they're signing any artists as of yet - i just sent to a bunch of randomly picked indie labels here in DFW... oh yeah!! i also tried mad monkey too - might want to give there a go, but ask first, because they don't accept demos often. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

about 95% of the time it's nothing... however... here are MY exceptions. Intikrec - knew its founder. ended up appearing on their MUZIK compilation and the track got internet play in France through activesuspension - turns out more people know me through this track than i thought... LunaticWorks - I continuously sent to them, and almost ended up on a comp, but a lack of communication on my behalf caused it to go sour - no worries though, because i recently sent them some cowboy sugarcakes, and they asked me to keep it coming.... crazyfungus - DIY labels aren't tough to land on, but it's definitely a start. they have released two cdr's by me, but may be defunct soon for reasons beyond my control. =S |
||||||||

has hinted on planning a label in the future.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, in terms of publications, dallaslocalmusicscene.com is supposed to have some reviews up of my music soon - they're taking their time though. as for radio, i will be sending stuff today for play on titsworth's radio show in carlisle, PA, and for net play on scenenow radio here in Texas. (that is if either of them like it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'd checked out crazyfungus and creampuff through the links on your zebox page, just was curious if there were anymore. i'm not interested in trying to send them stuff, i suck. i want to support them :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you get my email..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, crazyfungus will be defunct soon - but keep an eye on creampuff - i'd also recommend lunaticworks - great up-and-coming label - it's in california but the guys who run it will actually give you the time of day. :D |
||||||||
|
|

lots more demos going out soon. |
||||||||
|
|

i d/l'ed those ice cream creatures tracks, they were pretty hot. haven't checked anything else out yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well their label isn't planning to launch immediately, but plans to go in about 2004 - which isn't too far off from now, now that i think about it. and yes, the creampuff posse rocks the house. :D |

1) I'm currently getting together my first lot of demos to send off. My next album is coming out on a small indie label, though, so there's no rush. I'd quite like my IDM stuff to be heard, though. 2) I've had airplay, but none from my own request 3) I promote my music on message boards, to friends etc. quite regularly 4) I mail copies of all releases on my label to a couple of places where I know they'll get reviews. Now I'm starting doing pressed CDs (rather than CDrs), I'm going to be sending more out 5) My tracks feature on several compilations, I have done probably fifty remixes over the last couple of years 6) I've released a number of CD-r issues on my own label 7) I have maybe 20 'fans' at the moment, who are always interested in upcoming music, buy CDs etc. |

You know there are several musicians on here that should be getting the same type of distribution as some of the people on Warp. It isn't like most indie or punk bands where the local bands really sound local and it is somewhat obvious why they are only known in that area. I think there is a lot of stuff that sounds really professional and accomplished being produced by the members of this board. From what I have heard a band/artist has to really play out live a lot in order to be considered by most labels. They want to see them develop a following in their own area first. This may not be the same for every band but probably is for most. |

Tibbar and I used to be in a project with one other guy back in 97. It was somewhat industrial although some of the tracks had an ambient orb-like quality to them. Anyway, at the time Dave Wright from Not Breathing and Mark Spybey from Dead Voices on Air were on irc a lot in this #dvoa chatroom. I got Dave to let me put him down as a recommendation on a demo we wanted to send to Invisible Records (both of them were signed to this label). Anyway a few weeks go by and one morning the other guy in our project, Ed, wakes up to the phone ringing and when he answers it Martin Atkins (Invisible CEO, member of Pigface, Ministry, Killing Joke, etc.) is on the line with our demo playing in the background. We didn't end up getting signed (probably a good thing) but he did say we had some talent although we needed some work :P. Thought it would be an interesting story to share considering the topic. |
