Hi all. I am pleased to announce that I have taken the advice of a dear friend of
mine and started writing instrumental music. My first song is not very good and
shows how I felt at a hard time in my life. The next song is not yet complete.
It shows my feelings for a special person. If u r interested in hearing any of
these, post here or send me a message
Okay, again.
You say you've got songs you want to share, but the first isn't really good, and the second isn't complete.
I am not being mean, I'm just interested how you expect to get people to listen with your statements?
We've got two post so far offering original music, but no hype on it, if you understand me.
Maybe I don't give myself enough credit
Why not just post Sendspace links, or something, instead of requiring people to take the trouble and extra step to write to you?
@BlueViolet
Because if links were posted, it wouldn't be dramatic enough. I think our friend is crying out for attention and affirmation. She wants you to hear the songs that she proclaims are not that good and tell her that they are good, or that with a bit more work there is really something there. Its just another person calling out for attention and self-gratification. I'd not bother asking for the link. One song isn't good and one's not finished. Doesn't sound like its worth the time... so thanks, but no thanks.
Either that, or she just didn't plan ahead and wants, at least to start with, to know who is hearing her stuff and who isn't. Kind of goes hand in hand with insecurity actually, might make her feel like she has control of a sort.
And this has absolutely no demonstrable link to past issues of attention and drama, folks, so let's not jump to conclusions, eh? Kind of smacks a bit of drama in its own right, if you ask me. If you don't want to listen to the music, then don't, but why post, make a sort of half-assed accusation that she's seeking attention, then say you don't want to bother? That's needlessly antagonistic, so I'm calling you out on it.
I would agree that posting a link might get your stuff out there more readily and quickly, however. Depends on whether you want penetration or choice, Katie. I would also recommend that if you want people to give you a chance, you may have to sell yourself a little, as it were. You don't have to brag or anything, but if you tell us that one song's not done and the other isn't all that good, you're not exactly inspiring most of us to have a listen. Let your listeners judge if something's good or not, and for now at least, keep your own opinions about your music a little quieter. That's my advice to you.
Best of luck.
Well, would this site let me post DropBox links? i really have no idea
You can post whatever links you want on the site. If you don't know how to make them clickable, all someone has to do is copy and paste the link into their browser, so don't let that stop you.
Hi Håll käften. If you are able to, I'd really recommend either posting stuff on either Soundcloud or Youtube if you want people to hear it. Otherwise I suppose dropbox is okay. Just know not everyone will be comfortable with downloading a file someone posted on the internet. As one who constantly shares their audio creations ( admitedly at times looking for constructive critisism and afformation) I can tell you the easier you make it for others to access your material the more likely they'll listen. Also helps to say things other than "it's not very good". I do that, and it never goes well. Self-deprication tells us three things. You're either very modest, looking for attention or not comfortable with your own material. Let others judge for themselves. Might also be good to tell us what kind of music it is. Instrumental is a very broad topic. Give us a link and I'll be happy to hear what you've been working on.
Well, the incomplete song is now complete. You'll have the link as soon as I get one
oaky, so you write songs? great and you ay they're not complete? great. not. I don't have the time to listen to music that is not complete or "good" sorry, Katie.
