Keep them to myself. I've played records for over ten years, run a label, and am learning to produce, so I think my views and ideas are a bit different. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but I don't like sharing my productions with anybody. |

| Polish each one of my pieces nicely and shop them to the quality established labels, who appreciate well crafted music, whether complex or simple. And to younger labels that I think are doing the right things at the moment, where there is a shared vision. Gradually build a listener base and relationships with passionate people, that will allow me to keep doing what I love. |

I like to do my best to get them released, so I can ego stroke on the web about my digital release that sold 36 copies.
art, music is a way to get drink tickets and recognition! |

This has been a trial and error process for me. I tried sending some tracks to labels years ago but I didn't really have any idea of what I was doing at the time and also wasn't totally aware of what was going on in the world around me. A lot of the labels I sent to were in the process of folding, and the music I was sending out in 2003 would've been relevant maybe in 1995. That's not to say it isn't enjoyable it's just not something DJ's want to buy, which is a labels primary interest.
I haven't bothered sending out any of the 4/4 stuff I've made recently for the same reasons. I will however be adapting these tracks to incorporate into a DJ set. Luckily I have a bunch of other tracks by other artists that go really well with the tracks I've made so instead of trying to get them signed I might as well just play them out and present them in the proper context. I'm intending there to be some paying gigs on the way.
The other stuff... I'll be releasing myself. There's an album coming on the winter solstice, then after that I've no more dues to pay and I can start something fresh. Money would be really nice and if I don't make some soon I'm going to starve. |

Do you ever post in this forum for any other reason than to make fun of the "Ableton kiddies" you detest? |
