the deal is that DAD (DANCE ALL DAY) gets 20% and you get 80cartesia wrote:whats the deal with them?
Like do they take % from sales?
how about rights to your music, are you signing anything over to them?
Maybe you should move to Portland. There's a lot of different cities with different musical cultures in the US. I think if you're doing experimental electronic music and want to make it, you basically need to live in LA, the Northwest, Brooklyn, Detroit, or overseas in London or Berlin. But unfortunately even some of the guys that are doing really crazy stuff aren't really "making it" persay. They maybe have enough money to pay rent and tour, but they don't have any real net worth or whatever. Anyways.hurlingdervish wrote:in a perfect world the truly great music rises to the top...but nowadays it gets squashed out unless you perform nonstop or are a socialite schmoozer. Im pretty sure that there is the greatest music in the world out there somewhere, that we will never hear because they either don't feel like sharing, or don't have the social skills to slut themselves out.
Aphex twin created a secret moniker to see if he could get famous twice "The Tuss" is actually him . Although it somewhat worked, it still didn't reach the status of Aphex Twin, because people would largely think that it was just an aphex twin rip-off
There's nothing really in place for electronic music besides DJ bullshit. right now they are the "middle men" make or breaking a lot of music and to quote DeadMau5 "i hope they go the way of the fucking dinosaur". And if its not DJ bullshit its rock clubs that would sooner close down before letting an ableton live set be performed, at least here in the new england/boston area.
but then again you have the Wu-tangs and Animal collectives that came up with a group of people instead of trying to make it on their own, but even animal collective came up in the conventional rock band manner before getting their solo stuff noticed
Don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to put your music out under a name different from Hurling Dervish. It might have the wrong connotations - "Puking Sufi," haha. It probably has more of a personal meaning to you though. Anyways, please don't be offended by it. I like your music so much!hurlingdervish wrote:yea i definitely need to move, i was thinking San diego.. my brother lives there and i have become addicted to the place...but tis so expensive i'd probably end up somewhere north of it
i dont know about you guys but my idea of making it is having enough money for a bag o' weed at the end of the month, nothing more
