I've finally perfected a demo worthy of a label, question is what label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got any clips? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best thing to do is to have a listen around and decide for yourself, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
is the only one ive posted, although its been renamed 'montrique viral session' for the album, which also has the same name so i guess this is the cover song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
send it to warp records, they sign anyone |
||||||||
|

if anyone who has a very well educated ear for experimental electronic music and can rate the album in a non-bias perspective, i wouldnt mind mailing them a copy. allot of the material on it is different, some chaotic, some melodic, one of them ive been told is the missing song on ae's garbagemx. |

|
what if they tell you it's crap? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i would hope they would tell me what songs are crap :) it can't all be crap now can it? |
||||||||
|

yes, find a label that you think your music will fit into. don't make the mistake of sending commercial emo mp3s to planetarium records, for instance. the response you'll get is sure to be so soaked in sarcasm-tinged disdain that your mind, unable to cope, will melt into a puddle of hipster-brain-grease and slide out your ears. for example. |

you'd be surprised. not you specifically, but.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I could only get 20 seconds or so. it just stops downloading? Is it going to blow my mind or is it pretty generic? How would you describe it if you heard it for the first time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmm i'm not really sure my only suggestion would be planet mu and i'm not even really sure as to why |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, i liked the clip sounded kind of like a live autechre set |
||||||||

Are you asking what label might release your music, or what label should you be willing to deign your music upon? |
||||||||

i've enjoyed many of your earlier stuff - those tunes were really nightmarish. this track is different for sure. it has to grow on you, but i think it's rather interesting. i don't know if i would compare it to ae, although the style and some of the sounds are a little reminiscent... it's at times engaging and visceral and at times a bit bland, but overall i like it. would a label be interested? i think labels need to assess whether it will make them profit. why should they sign someone who doesn't have much of a fanbase? most labels want to know they'll be able to sell a product and are less concerned if the music is good. |

I wouldn't say that about small independant labels, though. they're not looking to throw away money, but they'd rather release something they really like themselves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. A small label can afford to do a hand stitched denim cd case if you like. It'll sell 65 copies, you've lost only 20 pounds. Do a label yourself, don't wait for some acknoledgement. |
||||||||
|

small labels too. yes, the small labels want to put out what they like and usually do. but, are they going to put up the money to manufacture 50 cds or 5000? they must be able to understand the market or they'll be losing money. so as much as they want to put out their completely-unknown, non-touring friend's solo toilet-drumming ep, they do have to figure out how to promote it and sell these records. and the more popular an artist already is, the sweeter the deal for the label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. that's my point as well. |
||||||||
|
|

i have. send me to daftcombo@hotmail.com if you want |

hahahahahahahaha |

I'm currently making a short film with my webcam with some music from the album. its hilarious and disturbing at the same time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well, yes. but that's also part of what the artist thinks. a group of friends and myself have been setting up our own label (with all kinds of music, from classical, to guitarbands to weird electronica) and Floris and I are thinking of doing a cd together - it'll be a lot cheaper for us! :) anyway, it isn't that expensive to get a 1000 cd's pressed instead of just 500, but we figure we would be fucking ecstatic if we could ever shift 500 copies! so we'd never do a 1000 (it can be very depressing - having boxes full of cds all over the place). in our case it's easier ofcourse - we have to pay for it ourselves, so we're pretty sharp about what is realistic etc. |

it might be nice if you reacted to what people have been saying/asking in the thread - most of them are trying to help you..? |

i want to e-mail you... is your address working or could you just send me an e-mail or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'd best send it to qrterATtkwsping.nl! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
changed it in my profile too (although the other address did work, yes). |

JivverDicker, its as the description says in the thread. I wouldnt say it's boring, it does hold your attention if you've got good enough sound for it to blast. dog_belch, im basically asking for a list of labels that any members here have had experience with and can shed some light on, possibly a link or recommendation (btw the album is idm/glitch/pattern slicing/ambience) nothing run of the mill mind you. (ofcourse thats what most artists say:) Combo, are you sure? You're not the one who thought the first untilted leak was fake were you? |
