Your Thoughts Please?

This is a re-post of an entry from my own blog (http://popeyedoyle.wordpress.com/).... just wondering what you think about the points raised...... OverKill.com? 25 07 2009 @Autorotation (on Twitter) posted a comment about whether to join “yet another” music site promising ‘increased exposure’, ‘earnings from you music’ and ‘a way to contact your fans’. The issue was that the internet/market/whatever-you-call-it is oversaturated. I myself have joined many a site which claims to b… Continue

Remixes - its an ongoing thing

Hi all, Just wanted to say that if you still want to remix my tracks (which I would really like you to do - bring your talents to my tracks) please email me at dementio13@ntlworld.com to request the wavs. I'll upload them via YouSendIt.com. Doorchaser and Electromagnetic Impulses (I think) are working on mixes now, while Crimson Death has already produced a storming mix of 'Prick' (thanks CD!). It doesn't matter if you produce a mix of the same track that someone else has already done; its bou… Continue

What's In A Name?

I was recently considering a change of identity. No, not some witness protection-style change of name, face and address; but a change of alias related to my musical output. My ’sound’ and working practices are constantly changing, so it seemed like a good idea to build up a new name and listener-base. In the end, I decided against it as I seem to have a decent enough (in my view, at least) number of listeners and plays on Last.fm, and to start all over again would mean I’d have to start at zero.… Continue

The Beauty of The MP3

(This is an excerpt from a longer blog I posted at Wordpress.com.) I don’t buy CDs anymore. Now, this could be seen as an attempt by me to say “Look how advanced I am technologically”, but far from it. Its not that I don’t actually buy music anymore, I do. I just prefer to get it in convenient digital packages which take up no space in my living room, I can play immediately and I don’t have to spend hours ripping them onto my Mac in order to li… Continue

Dementio13 loops for remix projects

As some of you know from listening, I seem to have accrued a rather substantial back catalogue, all of which can be heard on Last.fm. Now, I don't know if any of you have a similar dilemma (though I suspect you do), but I seem to be very dissatisfied with my old tracks.....what do you do when your tracks are 'out there' in the public domain, but you hate listening to them? (Incidentally, I must say that I'm not including my recent stuff done with Pixieguts....she adds a different dimension to th… Continue

Rumination

One of the things I’ve learned from listening to, and recording, electronic music is that there are RULES. These ‘10 Commandments’ must be adhered to if you’re going to be taken seriously in the genre……and these things are taken VERY seriously! 1. Your name will be without emotion or meaning. An artist’s moniker is all important; it’s a statement of intent to your listener…or not, in the case of electronica. Preferably your artist name will be without any meaning to the average listener at all;… Continue
