V4V music makers, what are the primary methods you use for promo? In the old world, I’d typically do some SM posts as well as forwarding to contacts/DJs/radio etc.

I’m releasing a solo EP at the end of the month, self hosted via RSS/Podcasting 2.0. and my only social media is here and the Fediverse so visibility probably super low, add that, it’s weird electronic stuff that are closer to experiments in sound than songs. Are there any folks into weirder/left field noise/dub?

It would be great to find some appropriate ears whilst not annoying folks who might view any self promotion here as spam.

Ps. If you’re a show host/DJ and want an advance copy, happy to forward or at least make contact.🙂

When I do a basic analysis of my life I come back to the same problem every time. Money.

Horace Andy once sang Money Is The Route Of All Evil and there's a lot of truth in that but food costs money, shelter costs money. Money costs money.

I've been an independent music maker all my life. I'm a bit odd, I don't fit n places often but when I do, I commit. Like anyone I have strengths and weaknesses and I know myself.

My current income is super low, like seriously and it's currently unsustainable so something has to change.

For context, my partner was working in a drug and alcohol recovery service and a typical amount a heroin addict gets a month in support is equal to what I earn in a month.

I'm not saying this to throw shade on these people, if you knew the life stories behind them, you would be truly horrified. My wish is that they can recover and rebuild their lives without judgemental bullshit holding them back.

The point is, I need to up the anti, whilst maintaining my independence. I'm going to try some things out, see what sticks. V4V is very interesting. If we were pure Austrian about it, you'd say I bought very little economic benefit to the world. So what, should I kill myself? I tried that once, overall the experience scores low on the fun-o-meter so I do not recommend.

I'm making new music, I'm experimentation with this radio thing, whilst keeping my engineering job and little community gig going, I love working at a credible indie label, even if the money is shit, the vibe is right for me.

Anyway, bit of a waffle but just to say I'm working on it, in my own way, the best that I can. I'm trying new things. V4v seems like a workable model. I donm't want to be a performing monkey for some corp and I want to reduce the amount of spying on me, be it government or corporation!

I know there has to be a way through somehow.

Fully up for chats with like minded people, especially people trying to earn a coin in this new world order.
