write chiptunes that make you think "i deserve to be famous" and then write chiptunes that make other people think you deserve to be famous. hopefully it's more about talent than self-promotion.

Re: How to promote your music/yourself? (82 replies, posted in General Discussion)
eh, also... i think that i should mention that there are definitely better venues for chipmusic than random bars. obviously your average bar people aren't going to be the target demographic for loud, hyperactive dance/freakout music. get into your local arts scene and see who is doing cool visual art / electronic music / whatever. Art lofts make for great shows with usually very receptive audience willing to experience new things.
similarly, align yourself with any local music scenes that you fit into. Rainbowdragoneyes and albino ghost monkey play and tour with metal bands, we've done tons of shows with indie rock bands, many many artists do DJ-style sets for whatever overlap dance music genre they work in... just make the effort.

Loudness wars.
Yeah, i like loudness to be dynamic, so I at least try to keep my stuff at 1991 (cold war) levels. Then you can crank it! I think that given our music is compressed and lack dynamics naturally, we should try to keep whatever is left!
