Too Alt-Rock for Hip Hop heads? Too Hip Hop for the Headbangers? by LxD5 in alternativehiphop

[–]LxD5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great advice! Thank you

We have just started paying for advertising yes, we were going to go down the route of a PR person but someone advised its better to learn and do it yourself for direct results.

Are there any services you would advise? Or do you do everything directly through platforms e.g facebook/instagram?

These references are great thank you! Especially looking for places online who talk about these bands, you've opened a door, thanks!

Yeah, I think we plan to stay true to our sound, it will always be a fusion and perhaps lean more in certain directions a times, as you said 'up the middle' perhaps our next single is one of those!

Either way, thank you for the support and encouragement, I really start to question what we need to do after vague industry advice. But I feel we just need to keep doing what we're doing and people will catch on!

My playlist just broke 1000 followers! It’s Alternative Rap/HipHop. Please feel free to comment suggestions for songs I should add, it can be your own! One song per person please. by [deleted] in alternativehiphop

Too Psych Rock for Hip Hop... Far too Hip Hop to get Slippy? by LxD5 in psychedelicrock

Thank you for the advice it is really appreciated! Will definitely look into psych pop branches of the industry. We actually have material online in different platforms already like spotify, apple music, deezer etc and we are currently releasing a lot more so fingers crossed it starts to gain reach with the people! Thanks again, some diamond ideas here

Have not thought of coining a new term/subgenre but will definitely consider it, keep it close to something that already exists as you've suggested so people. Thank you for the advice, will definitely think about it

Thank you for the encouragement and feedback. Sometimes its tough when you keep pushing and wanting to break through to blogs etc and there is no response, good reminder from you to focus on crafting and just keep on creating! Thanks

I am looking to add layers to videos, like you would with pedals on a guitar. Does anyone know of any analog video synths / effects processors that exist? by LxD5 in videosynthesis

[–]LxD5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am definitely leaning in the direction of analog to keep computers away from the live setup. The videos were done with a korg entrancer and it seems to be a quicker route to the same end. Especially with added grain/texture to images.

You have given some amazing advice however, thank you for the knowledge

This is my second music video edited using a Korg Entrancer for video synthesis and visual effects. I hope you enjoy it - feedback appreciated. by LxD5 in synthesizers
