![]() ![]() If you are on some kind of platform that they recognize and already have on their device (usually Spotify/Apple/Youtube) they may remember and try and find you later but if you’re on any external platform that has to be found and installed and isn’t familiar (ie Bandcamp/Soundcloud) if they’re not musically inclined enough to already know about those platforms it ain’t gonna happen… I put music on Spotify/Apple/Amazon/et al because Bandcamp/Soundcloud/ et al are musicians platforms and only a small percentage of potential listeners are also musicians, as an example when I play a gig somewhere I’m sure only a small number of the Audience are musicians too… You post your masterpiece and of course you want your 4 musician friends and your family to hear it but you also want Aunt Myrtle in California and your cousin Rick in Tokyo to hear it and herein lies the big issue… The only way most ‘consumers’ are going to even know about your work being released is probably through big Social Media, namely FB and Instagram, maybe Youtube if you have a respectable subscriber base… Then you enter the lovely world of newsfeeds where you literally have microseconds of people’s attention, they see your Song and they see your Video (God help you if you don’t have a Video) and if you don’t have the source embedded into your post where a touch or click instantly has it coming out of the screen/speakers you are done…game over…off the viewable part of the screen…time’s up!. ![]() Don’t want to derail the thread with the phenomenal works here, perhaps this is a worthwhile topic to split elsewhere… ![]()
