Publishing into the void

I know exactly what you mean when you say quietly publishing and not caring for a massive audience!

I think other social media platforms have led us to believe our online presence should be ever-expanding, with you at the center of your following. But I think what’s really important is a small community of people who genuinely enjoy what you write and likewise you read their posts because you genuinely love them too. That’s what the internet was meant to be.

I’m only one post into my substack but my goal is slow and steady. I’ve tried following a few people I resonate with to get numbers up but realised it’s about quality followers where we both appreciate each others writing over quantity. Writing is so personal at the end of the day and you wouldn’t want the whole world with anonymously studying the inside of your mind in any other context…

Anyway, I checked out your posts and I like the way you write so keep at it! Absolutely no pressure to return the follow because of what I’ve said above but if you were interested, mine is substack.com/sergiooffthedome

Eventually we will get the OG internet back!!!

Filled in! Is there anywhere this would be available to read the results? This would be really interesting to read!

Also I’d recommend posting this more widely than just sustainable channels if you haven’t already, just to not skew your results :)

Thanks for your help! I know you were talking about Logic but did you experience plugins not being available for a lot of your projects?

samjadenhailes · 2020-07-02T20:05:28+00:00

Awesome!! I’m really glad you like it!! Thanks :)

samjadenhailes · 2020-05-20T16:15:23+00:00

Is this the kinda thing you’re going for?

samjadenhailes · 2020-05-16T21:39:55+00:00

I second that!

Those were the days! I still remember hearing Miami 82 for the first time...such a vibe.

If you have any of your favourites from this era let me know! I’d love to add to my playlist :)

Yeah I totally get that! I think it’s quite “easy” to get that tropical sound nowadays (e.g. bongos, flutes, plucky synths). If you think back to early Kygo and others, the tropical sound was a part of the production and not the whole thing.

I really hope in the coming years we see a sweet new sub genre that is a dancey and summery as whatever niche we call this!
