More on Music

More on Music; been fooling around with the Nervous Keys preset on my Arturia Microfreak lately. I kinda like the sounds it makes and I’m trying to find a drone sound to use with it. The gear that I’m experimenting with includes the Moog Mother-32 and the Moog Mavis. We’ll see how things go.

The new music that I’m working on I’m planning to upload to platforms I haven’t used before, Mirlo and bandwagon.fm. They’re platforms built to enable artists to keep more of the money generated from customer purchases. And as an extra benefit, no AI training from your music. The plan is to emulate SoundCloud and Bandcamp.

More on Spotify, Part 2

Well, I have more news on Spotify. The latest stats (April 28) have my monthly users at 30, a 150% increase over the previous 28 day period. So something happened even though Spotify isn’t reporting any new playlists I’m on. I’ve been on a playlist with a measly 4,000 subscribers for months, but I don’t know how I acquired the new listeners. Lets see if the MAU continues at the new level, or if it falls back to the previous levels.

I fail to understand the listener base that Spotify has. They report huge increases in their listener base. Are the new listeners bots that Spotify and other bad actors keep on spinning up? And yes, Spotify is a bad actor. Between the AI “songs” that Spotify adds to its catalog and the pay to play “promotions” that are the only way to get your music listened to, Spotify and Ek are bad actors. and they plan to get worse.

But I’ve been promoting other platforms, especially YouTube and Amazon Music, both of which pay nany times more per song as Spotify. To the point that only about 10% of my impressions come from Spotify, even though industry statistics show Spotify has a 30% share of the streaming market.

I just wish there were more people out there that bought music. There are three platforms that I know of that sell my music, iTunes, Amazon, and Beatport. Beatport gives me the best payout and the music can be really high quality. I suppose I also should mention BandCamp, though not all my catalog is there because their discovery features just plain suck.

More on Spotify

Well, make me a liar. Spotify users numbers have gone up almost 200% over the past couple of weeks. I dunno whether they’re promoting emerging artists, or what the deal is. I still have nowhere the numbers that I had back in 2021, 2022 and 2023, when I had an average of more than 250 monthly listeners, but any increase is helpful.

Maybe I should try making more EDM type music. What do you think? More EDM or more of the same? Answers in comments, since WordPress doesn’t seem to support polls.

More Music?

I’m feeling the urge to make music tonight. Maybe using the Moog Sub 37 again. I was playing with it 2 nights ago and made one recording. Tonight might be another time to delve deeper to do some sound design.

I also need to apply myself to reexamine the other work I’ve created over the past few months to release or to abandon.

Completing Remixes Vol 3: A Marathon Session

After a marathon session, I have finally completed Remixes Vol 3. It is now 5:30 in the morning, and I am pleased with the results. The hard work and dedication have paid off, and I am excited to share my music with the world.

Now comes the next step – uploading the music to DistriKid for release. DistriKid is a popular platform that allows independent artists like myself to distribute their music to various streaming platforms.

When setting the release day, it is important to consider the preferences of the streaming platforms. Typically, they prefer a four-week period to ensure that the music is released on time. However, it is worth noting that these platforms rarely promote independent music.

Given this information, I have decided to set the release day for Remixes Vol 3 to January 17th. This allows for the four-week period while also taking into account the limited promotion opportunities. By setting the release day on January 17th, I can ensure that my music reaches the streaming platforms in time.

As an independent artist, it is crucial to make strategic decisions when it comes to releasing music. While the streaming platforms may not actively promote my music, I am determined to reach my audience and share my passion for remixes.

Stay tuned for Remixes Vol 3, coming soon on January 17th. I can’t wait to share my music with all of you.

Challenges in Completing New Albums

Recently, there have been some setbacks in the completion of the new albums. Unfortunately, computer problems and health issues have been causing delays in the mixing and mastering process. These challenges have been frustrating, but we are working diligently to overcome them.

One of the major obstacles we are facing is related to computer problems. Technical issues have arisen, making it difficult to efficiently work on the albums. However, our team is actively troubleshooting and seeking solutions to ensure a smooth workflow.

In addition to the computer problems, there have been health issues affecting the progress. Specifically, the artist’s left foot has been causing significant discomfort, making it nearly impossible to concentrate on the mixing process. Despite the use of painkillers, the pain persists and hinders the ability to focus effectively.

We understand the anticipation surrounding the release of these new albums, and we sincerely apologize for the delays. Rest assured, we are doing everything possible to address these challenges and move forward with the completion of the albums.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. We are committed to delivering high-quality music and appreciate your support.
