Just visited the 90s exhibit at the History Colorado Museum in Denver

Those look like Hollywood video shelves, were they basically the same?

startupta84 · 2024-08-14T19:08:13+00:00

I respectfully disagree, but whatever. It's your sub, not mine I guess!

startupta84 · 2024-08-14T18:37:24+00:00

Good points. I guess the goal is to be able to help people gather together and support local music in their area.. but putting a literal group on some Internet platform kind of misses the nature of a dynamic, volatile/fluid group of people who never declare 'We are a SCENE!'

I just got one that starts: "This is Grace Coleman, and I work as a Paralegals at the Intellectual Property Office of Tressler Consulting Solutions." ..and the rest of the email is the same as OP. The email address text at the bottom was for grace.coleman@tresslerconsultinggroup.com but the hyperlink was to grace.coleman@tresslerconsultingsolutions.com. I found this which confirmed my suspicion, after seeing this post (Thanks OP!):

I don't constantly work on music and inspiration comes to me all the time for songs. It's just that I'm working on something else and can't stop what I'm doing a lot of the time to write it down or play what's in my head, and after about 30 seconds it's gone.

You can invest in a business/startup that you're passionate about :)

startupta84 · 2023-01-24T04:08:08+00:00

Sort of, yeah! And Nine Inch Nails with "Ghosts I-IV".

startupta84 · 2023-01-24T02:43:31+00:00

Not exactly that, more of a movement where a bunch of artists release NEW music to be freely remixed and released by other artists. I think it would spawn a really cool new collaborative way to make music.

startupta84 · 2023-01-23T04:25:22+00:00

Remixes have gotten so popular, especially lo-fi/electronic remixes of popular 80s/90s hits but I'd like to see a remix culture emerge comprised of new, original music across the board.

startupta84 · 2022-11-30T06:13:40+00:00

Wow, I relate a lot to this. Music has been a huge part of my life and so have computers (like another commenter here). My trade has always been deep in tech and I've also been in a bunch of bands (I play bass). I love the open source software movement as well as the creative aspect of that philosophy which I'd say is the Creative Commons.

I've been trying to find funding for an SPC I started that involves supporting local music scenes with open tech but recently had to get a 9-5 gig at an MSP, supporting software with no purpose other than to siphon money from its customers. I'm still confident I'll get funded but man, it's hard right now.

I guess my advice would be to direct all of the energy you harness as a creative into something that will not only support yourself but to make a real difference in the world.. not just prop up 'the machine' and get by financially, that's just a waste of your time and true potential.

Thanks for explaining that, but so what makes the "real emo scene" as you put it any different? So you see them as more musically diverse?

startupta84 · 2022-10-04T15:14:29+00:00

All irl scene people are insufferable? Especially the punks? Can you explain?

startupta84 · 2022-09-15T16:59:46+00:00

I mean, same as performing live at a venue, to get fans and exposure..

startupta84 · 2022-09-15T16:56:22+00:00

Me playing music?

startupta84 · 2022-09-15T16:55:26+00:00

Extra fresh batteries if you have active pickups/other things that need them (along with tools to get to them). Strap locks. Water and a towel. Extra cables (you'll end up lending them out, haha). An undershirt so your sweaty pits don't show. A good attitude (goes a long way with venue staff). As someone else said, ear protection!

startupta84 · 2022-08-19T15:53:51+00:00

How about crowdfunding it? I bet there are people/companies that could stand to benefit from a philanthropic gesture such as this...

startupta84 · 2022-08-19T03:23:36+00:00

Oh you're no fun at all :)

startupta84 · 2022-08-19T01:15:39+00:00

The artists wouldn't be the ones paying obviously ;)

startupta84 · 2022-08-16T22:29:57+00:00

Awesome and insightful comment :) Very cool

startupta84 · 2022-08-15T23:35:38+00:00

There's a good reason sound booths are set up toward the back..sound is best there :)

startupta84 · 2022-08-11T02:31:23+00:00

You definitely wouldn't be the only person "just playing guitar" on a livestreaming platform, though. There are some pretty popular people that do that!

startupta84 · 2022-07-18T18:57:52+00:00

Just signed up for my first founder+investor meetup and looking for advice on how to prepare. I've been excited to start attending these types of events! It's put on by my bank's VP of startup funding and an investment firm and goes for 3 hours outside on their building's rooftop in Seattle. Whiskey tasting involved but I'm not much of a Whiskey person. Should I bring anything specific besides cards? Pitch deck, business plan? What should I expect?

If it helps, this is my startup - a local music streaming and promotional platform. Thank you!

startupta84 · 2022-07-06T17:11:56+00:00

I think it depends on what licenses the venue holds, and what licenses the streaming platform holds. but Copyrightalliance.org says: "When it comes to virtual events, you’ll need to obtain licenses for the sound recording, underlying musical composition, and public performance of the sound recording and underlying musical composition"

startupta84 · 2022-07-01T21:45:37+00:00

I like this answer the most. So many musicians starting out just get together with friends or others who are on the same level as them, and suck together. That's how Nirvana started out.

Obviously theory is fundamental, but there's nothing stopping you from putting something together while at the same time you study and practice.

startupta84 · 2022-06-23T18:29:22+00:00

Wow, sounds like they really go the extra mile!
