are there any good sites where a musician can present some songs and that really is of some use ? (Like where DJs, A&Rs and such look around)
I mean, myspace is fun meanwhile, some art-goth-girl from new york discovered my NIN-Remix, put it on her page and now my plays go over the roof since she obviously has a lot of friends, but I thought there should be more … I lost track of this stuff some time ago. Do you even know what I mean ?
If you own your own webspace, you should also try http://www.ctgmusic.com/ - although there ain’t any label or A&R’s online (AFAIK) you get quite a lot feedback for your music.
http://www.archive.org has a music/netlabel section which seems to be quite popular. They’ll even host your stuff for free. I’m sure there are thousands of people browsing there each day with an open ear just hoping to find some new and interesting music. Several friends of mine are constantly telling me “hey check this really cool stuff I found on archive.org!” every day.
The trick with CTGmusic is to review alot… then your songs get advertised on the main page and you can get tons of downloads… and maybe even a few reviews
heheh… that’s the funny part… “CTG is for trance” wasn’t trance… even though I labeled it as such… and it was a parody of CTG… that I threw together in 3 days, just for fun… and I didn’t really care how it sounded at all, so I didn’t really tweak anything that went into it … in all, I really consider it one of my worst tracks… yet it’s my most popular track on CTG
I guess it goes to show that art is generally misunderstood.
