who /failedartist/ here?

I have 4 listens on my bandcamp because I have no friends and no family to share my music with. My music is really fucking weird, so it's not like anybody would like it anyways. I've put so much work and effort into learning all these instruments and production because it was easier to play guitar than it was to speak to people or get a girlfriend.


I should have just fucking gone into STEM, instead i'm going to die alone, and artist who nobody listened to.

Here's my bandcamp, robots, you're the only family I have.

>>24897455
bump, also checked :^)

anybody else know this feel?
>>
>>24897465
i made all of the music myself, by the way. it's not like I have a band or anything. I wish I hand a band.
>>
>>24897455
In STEM wishing I went with music or at least tried to follow music.
The only thing I want in life is to play guitar. I hate engineering and my grades are showing it.
>>
>>24897515
Guitar isn't hard at all. I'm actually taking a journalism degree and have had no formal training in any of my musical instruments (guitar, bass, piano, mandolin, violin, trumpet, singing). I'm probably going to drop out, though. I fucking hate being surounded by normies at my shitty school.

What did you think of the music?
>>
i think you're very talented. can you give me your email or something so i can speak to you about making music. i used to try to make music but i kinda lost all inspiration. i didn't help that i didn't feel i was getting any better at it, even after having recorded hours and hours of stuff
>>
>>24897592
[email protected] is my email; if you need any help with anything definitely shoot me an email :)

Thanks for saying i'm talented, I don't feel talented, but i literally have hundreds recorded and just felt like it was time to finally get some out there, you know? Do you have any music I could listen to?
>>
Not too bad op, got kind of an Andrew Bird feel going on. I think The Queen and her Child could really shine.

Survivor wouldn't play for me, btw.
>>
>>24897630
yeah i know. i wish i had something to show that i felt comfortable with

i don't think i have any. i don't record stuff as often as i did like two years ago and now i think everything that i had recorded is trash. i don't want anyone to listen to it until i take the good ideas, if any, and record them again

how old are you?

also, as >>24897716 said, the second track isn't playing for me either

Hey OP, I make weirder music myself, and I gotta say I really enjoy your sound! I only got to hear the first little bit of it, I'm unable to listen atm but I'm going to save it for the morning, and I gotta say you're fucking good man. Better than I was expecting. Keep it up dude.
You got a soundcloud or tumblr or anything where you post stuff?
>>
>>24897774
no, like I said, I'm a social retard, and have like no friends, other than online ones so I figured a tumblr would be irrelevant
>>
>I should have just fucking gone into STEM, instead i'm going to die alone, and artist who nobody listened to.

From what I read, even STEM grads are finding it hard to get a job anymore. There's more graduating than there are open positions, and companies are importing foreigners on H1Bs to fill those spots because they can get them cheaper.

At least you failed at something that you enjoyed. It'd be worse to put all your effort into something you didn't care about and fail at that. And the possibility of success is always there for an artist; every successful artist was a failed artist at one point.

I know what you mean, though. I also fell into that "follow your dreams" scam. But honestly, I don't think anything else we could have tried to do would have worked out better. The world turns, and it's turning into darkness atm. We were probably fucked regardless.
>>
Nice OP survivor was good. Sounds like you can play well just needs to be recorded better whatever you're using doesn't do it justice
>>
>>24897906
I'm poor as fuck, anon. No way to buy better equipment, all my money is going to school and rent, it sucks. I've just got a shitty thinkpad from like, 2010 with which to record.
>>
>>24897455
>https://ringostarwars.bandcamp.com/releases
I like it but why are you complaining about no listeners on literally the day of its release? Its forgivable if you're viralling here but don't be dishonest about it. Also, 10 dollars for 4 3 minute tracks? You may or may not get more listens/downloads if it were less but it is something to consider. That being said, keep making those beats buddy

>>
>>24897906
same thoughts here, except Sanity was my favorite
Whatever you're using to record vocals and instruments is not very good, sounds like a lot of lows and highs are both missing in these tracks

Gives me strong Beetles/Beach Boys/Animal Collective vibes
>>
get a better name
that punname shit just lead me to think it would be some a e s t h e t i c gaystuff

You really recored all the instruments separately? Sounds really good anon. And I wouldnt classify your music as weird imo, you might be a weirdo but it sounds like regular attempts at composition
>>
>>24897931
quit school and work to afford more music stuff? At least you'd be doing what you want
>>
>>24897805
Ah, okay. Well I made a tumblr the other day just to follow bands I like & experimental music & effect pedal blogs and such, seems ok so far. Soundcloud though I've found some pretty cool folks to follow from /mu/ or just that I discovered through suggested tracks or they found me the same way. I only have like 2 to 5 plays on most things but it's encouraging when someone adds one of your songs to their loved tracks.
Still thinking on making a bandcamp, been planning on waiting until I actually had stuff organized into an album or EP of songs I want to put together. I have plenty of recordings, mostly junk, but I need to really sit down and mix some half decent songs sometime.
Anyways, I think it's cool that you've gone ahead and done that. Love the violin especially.
>>
>>24897994
i just uploaded the last track tonight, the bandcamp has been up for a few weeks, m80 :^)

Also i just made it free, because somebody might as well listen to it on their hard drives. To be hoenst that would make me feel really fucking good.

>>24897997
i have presently like, 79 views all time on bandcamp, yet some shitty Spore (yes, the vidyagame) video i made in like, grade 10 has thousands of views.

>>24898058
yeah I recorded everythign. In some tracks I sang and played piano at the same time, though.

>>24898071

I'm digging Survivor OP. Good job!

>>24898149
*Surviving, checking out the others still.
>>
>>24898168
thanks anon, I appreciate that :) most if not all of my lyrics are thinly vieled feelings about killing myself and how badly i'd like to.
>>
>>24897455
Your vocals are pretty bad. Work on your timbre.
>>
>>24897455

OP, are you from Peterborough NH?
>>
>>24897455
if you think failing is hard, wait until you have success and then you can't replicate it or live up to it again. its brings so much anxiety.

i used to make vidya, it was my life passion. helped me enjoy life honestly and made me feel good, like i was good at something, had a future.. ive lost that for over a year and im yearning to get back. i had a lot of setbacks and failures but i think im getting back on the horse soon
>>
I'm thinking on becoming a pianist, or trying to, at least. Not like I'm that good at the piano, so, I may end up being a failed artist. I want to die young so, not like it matters.
>>
Hey OP, I really like your music. Not sure if to tell you to get a better mic or not, since the way you do it now really fits your style of music.

I have a bunch of shitty 1 minute recordings, most with no singing. I want nothing more to be good at writing songs, but I'm too busy drinking.
>>
>>24898415
no, i'm canadian..

>>24898445
good for you anon, I'm rooting for you :)

>>24898481
writing songs is the hardest part tbqh :/
>>
>>24897455
You should make music purely for yourself, OP. Just keep making music if that's what you like.
>>
I like the instrumentals, but the vocals could use some work. Keep at it OP. You've got a good unique style that you could do well with in my opinion.
>>
>>24897455
>hey fa m check out my mixtape

nice try

>>24898592
this the instrumentals in the queen and her child rock I just feel the vocals ruin it. But I really like it!

>>
>>24898672
Just listened to surviving. It would have been a hit in the 60s if it was just a bit more polished up! I love that people still make music like this today. I added your bandcamp to my favorite sites keep it up!
>>
>>24898691
Stop making experimental music. If you songs hadn't weird stuff in them they would be fucking gold!

>>24898691
thanks anon, you're really making me feel better :) feel free to download it.

Id love a new microphone to record on. anybody with experience have any ideas?

>>24898719
I like experimental stuff, but i do see where you're coming from. if i had a proper recording set up I'd definitely try and make it a lot cleaner you know?
>>
>>24898738
>recording set
is that expensive?
>>
>>24897455
i can't imagine anyone would want to listen to this OP, don't act so disappointed
i'm not saying this kind of music doesn't have merit, it absolutely does, but you're probably never gonna get a following with something this weird unless it's also funny or has some crazy backstory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s2_sTA-Gyk
something like xiu xiu is just as weird as what you're doing but also listenable, and they have a big underground following
i'm not saying to sell out, i'm just saying you might be approaching this the wrong way for yourself
>>
>>24898751
Yeah, unfortunately. I'd be looking at around 400$ for the microphones and mixer and audio interface :/ which i simply don't have. I'm poor as fuck and all my money goes to prescriptions for anti-depressants and rent.

>>24898767
I don't make music for popularity, i just really like making music and want people to listen to it I guess. I don't know.

I don't have skype, just email, my email is [email protected], feel free to email me. in fact, please do, I could use a friend.

>>24898817
thanks, man. I recorded the vocals on that one hastilly, but the rest of the song i worked really hard on. i might end up re-recording the vocals once I get a better microphone

>>24898826
found it on a collection of free to use public domain photos. its in new york in the 80s iirc.

I would spam your music and make it a forced album so much I like it. Like forced meme are forced.

I'm STEM, Electrical Engineering. I like it, because I can actually use it for shit (amps, uh, controlling a light's brightness digitally, knowing physics and math is nice).

I'd kill to be an artist though. Can't fucking create to save my life. I'd rather knock 30 IQ points off and be able to be a fucking normie for once instead of being this for the rest of my life.

Man, that's bullshit. all I've got is my instruments and a 2010 thinkpad. I don't produce my music I play it live and record it, then master it using ableton. You don't know anything about music, m8

>>24899067
that's very kind of you anon, but I couldn't take money from anybody for moral reasons. I'll just try and sell my music to pay for better equipment. You've proven to me that there are people who can see that there's potenial with my art, so thanks, man.


I'm gonna grab a quick nap. I've got school in 3 or 4 hours. If the thread is still bumped i'll post more stuff, if not i'll make another thread tomorrow. maybe start some sort of /artist/ general.

in the meantime anybody who wants should email me at [email protected], and i made both my albums free (the one in OP and also the one this anon posted >>24899067) so feel free to download them and enjoy :)

I master it, add effects, and sometimes use MIDI VSTs, I can hardly understand how you somehow know so much about me with very little information? Tell me how excellent your productions would sound with a 2010 thinkpad with a gig and a half of ram? Likely it would sound awful; to have gotten to the point of production that I've achieved has required many, many hours of hard work and learning. I do indeed know shit about Ableton, and your baseless accusations of being better than me have literally nothing to back you up. Am I to believe that you're some mozart of soundcloud simply because you say so but refuse to post anything? You're like that one retarded kid in kindergarten who would ask a question, and claim to know the answer but say "I can't tell you, because then you'd know, too!"

Hey OP. I really dig your sound. If you want someone to lay your vocals for you, or to provide you more guitar/piano tracks let me know homie. I'd be happy to sing for you.

I'm a robot who makes nice piano and ambient music. It's mostly inspired by Claude Debussy, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Goldmund etc. You can download the album for free and if you tell someone about it I will love you forever.

I also want to get into making soundtracks (made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TACVuaRu2fs) so if you tell someone who's looking for a soundtrack I will double love you.

>okay i'm going to bed now guys

you should go to bed and have nightmares because your music is so fucking bad that you rely on the pity of autists / the reinforcement of your massive tripfagging ego in order to think it's good.

seriously, you are a disgrace. I want you to remember that when you got to bed tonight. you are a fucking disgrace and you will never be shit because you resorted to shilling your music to autists.

even if you did gain some traction on 4chan (which you won't), there will still be people saying "I remember this guy shilling and tripfagging his own shit. fuck him."

frankly, spend less time shilling and more time working on your art. because if you have to rely upon shilling & appeal to emotion, there's a very good chance that you are shit.

OH no I just didn't really know what you meant by asking met that question phrased that way? I'm kind of autistic but yeah I love all sort of art, even dad art or kitsch stuff or pretentious stuff, it's fun to smash (jk but destruction art is probs a thing, sounds fun) my preferred medium is sketch, music, movies, and comics. I have tried all of them but frankly I'm poor and not as dedicated as I was before I was depressed, maybe when my mood is better I can keep making more stuff. See but I just make too many excuses, it's not like I don't do art anymore, I just don't really make anything that special or any eye catching of stuff, feels badman

OP, to be an artist you have to enjoy the process and not be obsessed with fame or popularity. Art is something you do for yourself first, everything else is secondary.

I dig your music.. but how much of it is merely samples? Why/what is the point of a gig if you can't reproduce live what you are doing in your studio?

Serious, hmu. I like your style, I will fucking die if my life ends before I find proper artistic expression.
