Same. My aim for this project is three or four long (10–20min) pieces that traverse various styles such as prog metal, synthwave, art-rock, new age/ambient, experimental/musique concrete.. with common musical themes/motifs to tie the disparate styles.. so in other words, a load of self-indulgent wank, but prog as fuck

"impenetrable" is actually a quality i find very appealing in music, although "opaque" is usually the word that comes to mind. i can't be the only one out there with a taste for that sort of thing

yeah I made a decision earlier this year to do that rather than try to please people. Unfortunately though, that means just writing the most ridiculous prog stuff that is possibly fairly impenetrable, hahah. Having said that, my minimal tech youtube videos have been taking off a little lately so maybe I'll just ride the success of those and keep chugging away at prog stuff in relative secrecy.. the way it should be big_smile

Life's too short for that, just make what you like making.

Plus it sounds like the world needs a chip-prog label.

haha, well I have the tsr 'label' already, but that's for minimalist stuff (so minimal it hasn't had a release yet!), certainly not the ridiculously dense prog I've been working on for my pselodux project big_smile

Ubiktune got back to me, they don't accept demos anymore. Not sure if this means they won't be taking more artists on at all, but either way I managed to fail to get their attention. I guess I'm missing something about just being 'poached' by a label.. Perhaps I'll submit one of my new prog tracks to the chipwin compilation and hope someone proggy gets into it.

Or perhaps I'll just contact 'real' prog labels tongue

maybe this is a side discussion but this is something I've always wondered about with net labels. what are they getting in exchange for releasing and promoting your music? do they get a cut of the profits?

chipmusic is generally not a profitable endeavor

maybe some labels take a cut, but every label i'm aware of also has plenty of free releases in their catalog. i think chip labels are mostly motivated by a desire to curate and share cool music

except for aanaaanaaanaaana, which is motivated by a dog
