nobody listens to the music I make. does it exist?
| I tried listening to it. Not really my thing.
| personally, i think it's beautiful. these songs would be perfect in an OST for a videogame or even a film. i know nothing about either industry, but have you considered doing gigs like that?
| I like it
| Don't think about it too much. I'm not a musician at all, but music taste is something very subjective. I personally find it hard to find new music because of how niche my music taste is.
So much for that. In addition I think it's harder to nowdays attract attention to your music if it doesn't immidiately hook you with a catchy beat/tune or something. I guess it's due to continuously shortening attention spans people have developed.
At least you enjoy your profession!

| is nice op
| Marketing is mostly about connections, knowing the right people, going to the right places,that sort of thing. It also helps, if you can mix a bit of whatever's popular together with your creative outbursts, but that's hard to do. I'm no musician, though in your place, I'd probably go for competitions and such, try to make myself memorable. Even if I never win anything, people can at least remember me as that guy that's literally everywhere
| thanks for the replies all. :)
| YouTube. Put stuff on YouTube, I'd say that's one of the best places to put your music to get publicity. Try finding people who would wanna use your music, if someone some what popular uses your music in something they did there's a small chance some of their audience will check out your music. I've found tons of great artists because I heard their song in a video or something. Also just don't give up, keep doing what you love. Best of luck.
| I followed a link to your YouTube but I couldn't play anything there...

| I've been making instrumental music for 20 years, live shows steadily and releasing album after album dropping untold sums of money on hardware, software, instruments, studio time, mastering sessions. always learning. a life long obsession. I love it! but it would be nice to have an audience. admittedly I suck at promotion though my music is available everywhere. maybe I just suck at it? i'm perhaps destined for obscurity. what's music if nobody hears it? https://depfm.bandcamp.com
