My Music to be Distributed
I have noted the last couple years, that I have put my creative writing on the back burner in favor of creating original music. In fact, I had been a song writer long before I wrote novels. It's true I had written a few stories in my younger days, but not to the degree that I had been writing music.
Ultimately, it was all about technology for me. When I was a young teen, I was writing music on my parents' upright piano. I had no means to record those songs, so the songs that I kept playing into adulthood were the ones I remembered. And when the technology caught up to me, I recorded some of them on a cassette tape.
But then when the technology continued to catch up to me, e.g. computers and word processors, I was inspired to write novels, and I did. Five of them, with two more on hold. After that had played out, I decided to go back to writing music, because, yes, the technology continued to catch up with me.
I bought more pianos, the electronic kind, which were great for writing music. And I did. I wrote 145 songs, or the equivalent of 14 albums, and they are all listed on the right margin of this blog. Those links will take you to SoundCloud where all of my music can be found.
But there are so many more platforms, I've learned, other than SoundCloud. There's Spotify, and other more common ones, like You Tube, and more. But I learned you have to have a distributor to get your songs on many of those and there are plenty of distributors. I opted for TuneCore, and my first four albums are distributed now.
I've also learned that for ditribution, some of the platforms do not want volume numbers listed as part of the text on the cover artwork. SoundCloud didn't care, but since I am getting my albums on all platforms now, I went ahead and deleted the volume numbers from the titles of the albums as you can see on these images.
If anyone has any inkling to hear my music, (which is great music if you like Alternative Rock,) then you no longer will be limited to SoundCloud to hear it. You can go to any other music platform, now, and my music will be there. Within the next couple of weeks, I plan on having all fourteen of my albums live on all of the online music platforms. I hope you can enjoy the music as much as I have.
