i know i've posted a thread like this probably once before atl east on this board, but today i feel lucky. recommend me a label that will actually LISTEN to my music (not warp or geffen or someone big) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sublight? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
linky? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, let's hear your music first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, send one to sublight for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that's two for sublight. check. what do you suppose? fast, slow? any particular tracks your recommend. i'll probably keep it at four tracks long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm preparing a demo for them in the not too distant future. Untill I blow my own mind I'm not sending anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i dunno that hcon88 track of yours is nice. sometimes i've found that tracks i dislike are usually the ones everyone else enjoys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
three, i'd say. four at the most. put your best song first because a label will listen to that for maybe thirty seconds and then throw out the demo (not because your music is bad, just anyone's music in general). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
point taken. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try capermetric :) |

don't waste time on fancy covers for your cd-r - chances are it will create the impression that you've spent more time on the cover than better could have on the music itself. (I'm not even joking - it's fun to read the 'demo doctor' and especially 'business end' articles in Sound On Sound magazine - the last one features people from the music business giving their opinions on sent in demos - they almost always make some comment like the one above on covers). also write your name and contact info on the cd-r itself. |

thats good to know. thanks. |

capermetric link? |

Well, I know people who just did blanket campains to every label they listen to, that the music is geared towards. That got both julian fane and bit meddler signed to planet mu, and those are just the people I know. And reguardless of what kind of music you want to publish, always put your best song first. If the intro is too long, edit it out. If they are interested they will ask you for more, and then you can send them the one with the long intro. The point of a demo is to attract attention, not bore them to death. And if possible, use a mini-cd. If they see that its going to be short, they will be less likely to put it away in a drawer for later and forget about it |

Hey did you ever do more Cowboy Sugarcakes material, Augustus? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

if you wanna send stuff to sublight I'd go for the slightly harder and faster stuff since they are a breakcore label. I'm also thinking of sending around a demo. I think I'll try planet-mu.... yes I feel that lucky. but I do think it's a good time for sending stuff to planet mu now. they just released a shitload of stuff and now they won't release allot of stuff. so I think that they will be searching for some new artists or releases for the year 2006.... this is all just guessing btw. |

Listening to your music, I wouldn't bother sending a demo. I mean I thought it was good, but there are thousands of people making this sort of music out there, all sending demos to various labels. You need to come up with something 200% awesome and original before you can even think of sending demos off. Good luck, anyway. |

well, thats kinda harsh no? |

If Venetian Snares can fart out 300 releases a year I think Oddieblender, who I know has been making stuff for quite some time, has earned his right to send in ONE demo... Alot of stuff that does get released on 'proper' labels is the most boring shit I have ever heard.. Oddio, I say you polish up a couple of tracks and go for it. And if there's no word, you can always try again later. p.s. I just listened to 'The Morning Ism' .. good stuff :) |

oddioblender.tk does not load for me for some reason. the same is true for other urls which end with ".tk" how might i get around this problem? i would very much like to hear your tracks, oddioblender |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
oops! now d/l'ing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sorry. i thought when you said "try capermetric" you meant a record label. i like this track though. it's texturally tasty. like the melody that comes in halfway too. nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, cool voices too at 2:20! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thankyou. how did you go about sending your demo? how many tracks, what did you write on the disk, was it a package or just a cd. etc.. im curious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how did you go about sending your demo? -sent in in the mail. how many tracks? -three. gondola of love, twenty-one lonely valentines and helix. what did you write on the disk, was it a package or just a cd. etc..? -just contact info on the disc. just a cdr and a jewel case. now the waiting game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the few demos I sent I only wrote on the cd-r too but I did write something like "hello, this is a demo" etc. if they like what they hear, they'll only need your contact info, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lord i can't even count how many demos i've sent, but i know only two labels have responded to me as of this date - beta bodega and lunaticworks. |
