...to be heard? 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? 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? |

1) last year, i sent out about 10 demos or so. this year, i've sent out about 5. 2) yes - every now and then. 3) all the fucking time! 4) yes. mainly online, preferably independent / underground newsletters. 5) yes. 6) yes. my first release was the 12-track classic "Welcome to Gusland." i sold it by myself and through cdbaby for a while. 7) about 200 or so at least - this includes people who bought Gusland, and peeps on this board. also, i've started noticing some props dropped to me by people i don't even know, who know me from the Intikrec _MUZIK_ Compilation. |

i'm just now coming up. most of you will probably be buying my music at some point in the next few years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I try hard in making my music but not in getting it heard. I post it here and too my mates outside the board. It's not good enough to send off yet. I don't think it ever willbe. Just a fun hobby :) |

If it's released as fuckwagon then yes I will. |

Same with me I love writting it but I doubt it will ever become a carrer of mine |

I think only one person here heard the song I posted ages ago...I don't know if they liked it or not. it was wMw |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't really care though. If I created some stuff thought was fucking kickass and would rock the music world to pieces then I'd send it off though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
motivation... its all in the head, when i think of something, it stays there until i can record it, write it down etc. but its far more personal for me, i'm not into really giving it out or making a career from making music. its more of a release for me... sometimes i share it with my bro, he usually takes it and evolves on it. heh, he should answer some of these questions =] |

for reals!!! |

|

|

of course of course. if you ever DO think of sending stuff off to a label though, don't be intimidated - and as you said, send something that you KNOW kicks ass. :D |

So where is your music Oddioblender? |
||||||||
|

1) do you send demos out frequently (once every couple of weeks or every month)? Ive yet to send out any demos. Im not going to do it, until I feel confident enough that my stuff is good enough to be picked up somewhere. how many have you sent out in the last year? nien 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? I dont persue it, but Ive had my tracks played once or twice, on friends programs. 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? Whenever I have a new track, I promote it. 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) Nope 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? When I have the time, yes. 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? In the process now. Although kind of on hold, due to lots of school work. But I WILL put a CD out. 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? No idea. Fans in the sense that they really truely like my stuff? Maybe 6-7. Fans as in, they like my stuff, or appriciate it... who knows. |

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? i sent out a demo 3 weeks ago but heard nothing in response. i was hoping for there to be one, and since there wasnt, i see no reason in putting the stuff out via any other venue. if it wasnt good enough for them, its not good enough to be put out at all. 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? if they ask me for a recorded gig i'll let them have it. but no idont go around contacting radioshows goin 'here's my stuff checkit!' if they're not interested in the first place, they wont be at all after that. 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? constantly. 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) when i have a few copies lying around and know which ones to send to. 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? yes but not too often anymore. 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? yes. put out a cdr bak in 1999. 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? less than a lot. |

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? I have never sent any demos out. I'm still trying to make something demo-worthy. 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? Sort of. I recently sent a 5 trk CD-R to Donna Summer for AD&D. Haven't done anything else like that. 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? Not very often. Occasionally, on this board, I'll make a thread about something if I like it. 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) No. 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? I don't really like doing remixes. I've been on a couple of the mp3 comps here. That's it. 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? No. 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? I really don't know, but I can promise you, there aren't many at all, if any. |

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? I've done 3 batches of demo cd. About twice a year on average. 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? I don't actively seek it out. 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? I don't, mainly because it gets on my tits when other people do it to excess. 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) I think I did once. 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? Sometimes, but only if I like the competition/prize/theme. 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? Nope, but I will almost certianly be releasing a drum and bass 12" EP/single this time next year. 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? Few, but I have met people in real life who have heard my stuff outside me having spammed it. |

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? hardly. I'm starting to send them, but I'm busy as it is and I have to re-evaluate all the tracks before I can send them. I have sent 2 this year. 2) do you pursue airplay on internet / independent radio? (non-commercial radio) if so, how often? yes. I have sent about 3 or 4 cd's to Donna Summer by now and he has played my stuff on his show at www.wfmu.org. also sent a couple of cd-r's to other stations, including Titsworth. 3) how often do you participate in self-promotion? except of sending demo's/cd-r's to people - up till now, never. 4) do you mail your music to musical-based journalistic publications? (online or offline) no. 5) do you participate in remix contests and compilations? yes. 6) have you ever attempted to publish a tangible form of your music (cd, cdr, tape) on your own? to sell? no. 7) how many "fans" would you say you have? I have no idea. I genuinely never think about that. |

anyone that wants some airtime in the harrisburg, pennsylvania area and over the internet can contact me at titsworth@graffiti.net and i can give you my mailing address in exchange for your cd (hopefully full-length instead of EP, doesn't have to be an "album" just throw a bunch of tracks you like on there). i like all kinds of music and have a lot of faith in the talent on this board so chances are i'll like at least one of your songs enough to play alongside so-called heavyweights on warp, rephlex, planet mu, etc. |

students (it's a college radio station) sometimes wander in or call to ask what's playing and i give them all the info i know.. as far as online goes, it depends on the timeslot. a year ago when i was on monday nights my radio show threads would get 100+ posts almost every week. sunday morning this past spring was also popular because people in the UK and all around europe and other continents could listen easily as it was in their late afternoon or evening (no students listened because everyone sleeps in till noon and that's when my show would finish). those thread often got 100+ posts too. this semester i have a slot in the middle of a weekday (today) so it sucks for everyone because they're at work or in class. but in the spring i might have another good timeslot and your music will be heard by a lot of people (it broacasts for about a 20 mile radius and it's a pretty popular station so maybe up to 1000 radio listeners on a good day, 150 on a day where i'm playing stuff that's "unlistenable". no idea how many people are listening online...). |
