Sound cloud and the money disease ruin it for me
9 years ago
I just don't do art in the form of images and sculpture. I also compose and create music. Recently I use Logic and Ignite with my MIDI controllers , an Oxygen 49 keyboard and a roll up silicone keyboard which I can carry in a bag.
I upload my music to Sound Cloud , on Tumblr, Starseeds.net ( I used to as well on think atheist, but they focuses the site more on debating and stuff), and as you can see in the link on every journal entry called Music Library , I upload music there on New grounds. Somehow users cant download my tracks anymore. I offer free downloads and playback strewing on Sound Cloud. I find uploading my stuff to Apple Music confusing , and vague and not simple like sound cloud.
Here is where the shit hits the fucking fan for me, and anyone who is a new musician , or a casual musician , who normally does work or other forms of art as their primary skill. Sound Cloud wants to introduce $9.99 subscription bullshit. This is going to fuck any free/new/casual artist in the fucking arse. I have seen this happen with websites that were once free and become bogged down with the money disease like deviant art or youtube as an example. Those that pay into the service will get exposure. and those who don't somehow get downtrodden and hidden from exposure to develop a fan base for anyone who may like or enjoy your style of music.
I hate it when capitalism fucking ruins and hides good art from exposure... This also happens with paintings, and how modern splish splash bullshit paintings are in the spotlight more often than skilled art... such as the poo poo platter "Mark Rothko's 'No. 10' sells for $82 million in NY"..
