However, I decided its time to reveal my track listings. There will be a total of 5 songs on The Bill Murray EP (although, since I'm not done recording, I'm not sure if it's technically an EP yet.)
The titles and orders of the songs will be:
- "Hey Mary"
- "Oil Slick"
- "Stutter Sickly"
- "Box Springs and Quiet Dreams"
- "Surfer's Hymn"
I need some input though. When I'm done recording and I've finalized all of the tracks, I have to decide how to distribute them. Of course iTunes would be the most obvious option, but I'm not sure if I feel comfortable selling my songs, or if I did sell them, would I even make enough money to offset the cost of distribution.
I'm not opposed to the idea of making my songs available for free download and I almost prefer it, but some methods of free distribution can be confusing (although I'm sure I can find a simple way to do it.)
What do you think?
Also, for new readers, I've posted two of my songs in older posts. Check them out if you haven't! Love,
Andy
I think you should always start free until you build a loyal fan base.

ReplyDeleteDiggin "Stutter Sickly." Don't have advice for you other than I think you have some actual talent and should stick with it. Following.
ReplyDeleteI would have it as a free download but include a donate link.
ReplyDeleteJust remember: If you enjoy doing this and you turn it into your work (get money for it), you might not enjoy doing it anymore.
ReplyDeleteMany artists stopped making music for that reason.
