That's a great compliment, thanks!glowrak guy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:18 pmHi, great respect for your hard work, creativity, and I appreciate what brought on your results. You tell the stories lyrically or otherwise, very eloquently, support them with instrumentals that grab attention and hold interest, and place it all in a sonic environment worth exploring.Rainmak3r wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 4:47 pm Hi all,
after what feels like forever, I can finally share my first "serious" album, which as the Call of the 80's EP is available both on Bandcamp and soon, via Distrokid, on Spotify/iTunes/etc.
I've lived most of my life next to some train tracks as well, and I took trains 20 years in a row to go to university or work, so willingly or not (it's been a love/hate relationship) they've been quite there for me too I'm missing the happy crickets though, that would be nicer... I'm glad you liked those more atmospheric moments! I found those specific audio samples on FreeSound, which I often go to anytime I have something in mind that I think would fit well in a song.glowrak guy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:18 pm Having worked on, and lived nears railroads, the intro and ending to "Lies" was much appreciated. As are the less than predictable contents/orchestration. My yard is full of happy crickets.
Yes, DistroKid was quite the surprise! A friend suggested it to me, and it was incredible to see the things it does for what is a relatively low sum of money (~20 bucks a year), allowing you to make your music reachable via so many sources. They do have many things behind a paywall too, but nothing I've felt I needed so far. The speed of publishing was quite fast too, this time: they said it would only get to Spotify in 5 days, for instance, and instead it was there the day after. I guess the 5 days only applies to when you first publish something, which I had gone through for the EP already.glowrak guy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:18 pm Distrokid is a welcome resource, and if you make new versions, the tools are there to update existing titles, with the speed of individual outlets uptake being the variable. I've discovered some of my own gotchas that slipped past my QA drone
Hope your release is the tip of an iceberg!
Not sure if there's any iceberg, here, but I do have other things pending, so hopefully I'll have something new to share soon
