alright, I've been making my glitch tunes for a year and a half now. Personally, I like them and I like the direction and growth of late. The problem is, I don't know who to have listen to them. My mam's herd them, and she was like, I wish you made songs with your guitar instead....... So, I mean, I like them, and I uploaded them onto zebox for giggles, but I haven't told anyone. so I'm wondering who listens to your tracks? Who do you tell and how do those people make you feel? |
||||||||
|

i dunno but after I finish this EP ive been doing i'm gonnae concentrate on guitar. I'm getting bored with making electronica and its high time I display my axe-prowess. |

my mother loves my stuff, which is strange. of course, she usually likes the more melodic stuff, but she did like the newest thing (soon on teapot's comp), which was pretty drilly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright, but do you just play it for her? do you have a test audience, or do you not give a shit, up it to zebox, and tell the whole world? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just put it on zebox. who cares what people think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she cant help just hearing it, shes sitting in the other room! heheheheh she usually comes in while im working on stuff and tells me what she likes and what she thinks needs work. the weird part is, shes usually right. straaaaaange. |

Dont bother posting here, nobody will listen to your trax anyway... or..will they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes they do. just have to lure them in. say something like "if you don't listen to this track you will contract syphillis and go insane" that usually gets em listenin ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont listen to zyx. people will listen. of course, you have to be sort of aggressive about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listen to anyone who posts their tracks as long as I know them a little. I don't want to spam the board with shit though, so I've kept my pants on still. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How do you get over the idea that people will hate you cuz you make experiemental music that doesn't appeal to most people? |
||||||||

My girlfriend insists on purchasing all of my records (my music was actually the first thing she liked about me, so it's done me well). And there are a few other people about who like it...online I know a number of people who are half interested in my music, at least. I post on electronicbboard.com, and there are enough people there interested, so...*shrugs* Leaves me to wonder how I'm going to shift a thousand copies of my next album, but I'm sure I'll survive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that's cool man, my gf is pretty indifferent about my sounds. how did you get over the hump though? How do you go from, I make music, to make it public! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I play shows. People are forced to listen when the PA is loud as fuck. No one in the bar can ignore that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Make what public? Am I being slow? I'm being slow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha purlieu: your tracks man, how do you leep from, I make music, to making your music public? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude: you sound a bit paranoid about how people will recieve your work. if you believe in what you are doing, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. |
||||||||

I used to stick my music on mp3.com until I realised that it's a waste of time if you have your own webspace. Anyway, I put my stuff on my own website so I guess I'm telling everybody. There's rarely any feedback, so I assume they just didn't like it. Personally, that doesn't bother me because my stuff is very much an acquired taste. Sometimes though someone will send me an email saying they like it and that's nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhhhh. Well, I'm not all that public. Friends and friends of friends and such always helps, however I know about three people who are into electronic music, which doesn't help. Otherwise, internet internet internet. I push my music on most forums I'm on, and eventually people get interested...which is how I managed to score me a record deal. I'm currently working on how to do a live show, which I should be debuting later in the year. That won't be remotely nerve-wracking atall. |

I was going to say, I don't want to come off that way. I also can't really say how my music compares talent wise, with other people who haven't been doing this for too long. I don't want to spam the world before I think I am decently talented, and I think I am finally getting there. I just don't know....... |
||||||||

Doing Video Game Music Remixes and putting them on Overclocked Remix helps too. |
||||||||

I'm not trying to get my "name" out there I think I just want a small environement to release a track or two and see what the educated community thinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds like as good a reason as any to just post it hear and have you guys tell me, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, this is a good enough place. Like I say, the internet's probably the same place, because you can target certain audiences rather than just random people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my problem with my music is that i dont know if what i hear is what you hear the same joy over a glich that lasts a milisecond but took an hour to devlop or just repeating a synth riff for 2 mins and that gets a better response |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i feel that way as well. I like what I make, but that's cuz I'm making it for me, for the mood I'm in. Sad tracks, mad tracks, whatever, they ........aw fuck it, I'm gunna post this shit and end all fuck all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Different tracks for different tastes e.g. I only let my mother listen to my Trip Hop stuff as she's into R&B, Hip Hop & comercial shite.....My g/f listens to most of it & I only let mates listen to stuff which I'm particulary proud of! I think your audience needs to have a basic understanding of a particular style of art to really appriciate a track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also i only really want to hear what im doin wrong i dont like being told your great keep it up *pat on the head* i cant develop that way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I need that pat on the butt, I mean head :D I need some positive reinforment damnit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just post it and let the music talk! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm my neurosis allowed that, I would have posted it ages ago and been done with it :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh fuck all, check the track "Happier Times" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
look, i think my stuff is pretty good, and i dont think that that is me being egotistical. people know if they have talent or not. i know i do, or i wouldve quit a long time ago. and even though my stuff is good, when i first posted stuff up here to total strangers, it freaked me out a bit. now i really enjoy sharing my work with people. even if they hate it, i chalk it up to a learning experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, then I'm stuck in the middle. I like what I make, but I don't know if there is any talent there. I'd rather know how to make the music, as enough of it runs through my head, but I usually can't get it down fast enough, it kinda sparkles and fades. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
$10 if you figure out what program I used............ :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
take a music theory class so you know how to write it out... it takes alot of practice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my friends listen to my music and they like it, that's how I get more friends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it goes too fast! the melodies play out in my head in the weirdest places. Like walking home, I'll just start the rhythme, beats and before you know it, I've got vocals from my poorly tuned throat and I wish I could jot it all down....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening to some of your stuff tibar, and you're right, you do have talent. It is unobtrusive, but clear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, ive listened to it and ill tell you what... if it were me, id scrap the beat. you sound liek a guy who has worked in rock music alot. i dont think thats bad, but the drums sounded, erm... bad. i would suggest this, this is what i would do: keep the main bassy keyboards and the pad thing that comes in every once in a while. add a more lead synth thing. higher octaves. plinky sounds. you could even do it on guitar. for the rhythms: just let it flow. dont worry so much about holding it down and really forcing that beat. thats a very rock archetype. write tiny rhythms that come together like fingers laced. thats just me. liek i said, practice. dont be afraid to try new things. i hope this isnt discouraging to you, it shouldnt be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm more of a crazy beat-maker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my close mates, and those of you on here who like what i do :) my folks think what i do is Terrible :D and there you have it! im not easily upset by critics, ive never cared :) my mates appreciation is more than enough.. if when i play live, one or two people come up and say they dug it.. then i get ecstatic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I want to thank you for your opinion first off. but I really think it's funny you mentioned that, as the beat I wanted was so much more simple, but I forgot it, and had to just through that in there. that's what I mean, I forget what I'm doing and well, yeah. ok, I'm going to take your advice and go headlong into the flames. Thank you very much for the encouragment at least, I'll see what I can do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, exactly, i feel liek i make music for me and my close friends. if my best friend in the whole world gets giddy over a piece i did, then mission accomplished. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey, echo: do it. im serious. with something like music, you have to give it your all, or forget it. people who are only half-hearted about it, it shows. seriously, it comes out in the music. and ESPECIALLY electronic. listen to squarepusher. even if you hate his stuff, you can tell my man pours EVERYTHING into it. he goes nuts on his stuff. be that. even if its an ambient piece, pour everything you got into taking that piece of music to that very place. rip a hole in the dimensional fabric. make it feel liek you are REALLY THERE, wherever that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this kinda repeats what tibbar said but you need more quality in your sound i think takes 'it' away from what you made ur first trak on zebox would sound good as a darkness esc piece just my thoughts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*bump* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you guys are fucking sweet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the main thing that has gone through my head now, is that I need to acknowledge that I CAN make music, but I need to work to make GOOD music. that's an interesting thought, one I need to sleep on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
play it for everyone. post it on the internet like i dio (shameless plug: http://goodhandsteam.iuma.com). especially if your not concerned with making money or record deals blah blah blah. but i think music is to be listened to rather than bought/sold. if you make them free and downloadable...people will genreally listen. ive been able to remix stuff from all over the planet because of that. |
