Old Town Road to EGOT

Oh dope, I didn't even know we had a thread for this!

My main project is Aetherius. I was in a band for a while and had a different short-lived (rushed and not properly finished) solo project several years back, but Aetherius is the primary one I've been releasing stuff under since 2008.

It's electronic/ambient/experimental stuff. You may have heard some of it before, because I've posted a couple of my releases on SA in the past. I've released 4 albums and 3 EPs under that name.

Links:
Apple Music
Bandcamp
Soundcloud
Spotify

And here's YouTube links to my last album and last EP too:

I'm hoping to release another album this year, but who the hell knows if that'll happen. I only have a couple tracks in demo stages at the moment.

Just dropped a new (electronic) EP at midnight. I made it after a good friend and fellow musician passed away in March. Hope y'all enjoy it! It's also on Spotify, Bandcamp and YouTube and should be coming more places soon.

(I say electronic because I really have no idea what the hell subgenre it falls into, haha. If y'all could give me your best estimate, that'd help!)

DistroKid rules. I started using them in 2018 and recommend it to any of my friends looking to get their music on streaming services.

Put out a new short little EP:

It's also on Soundcloud, but Soundcloud is for some reason cutting off the first like half second of the tracks :argh: I don't know why it's doing that or if it's just doing that to me or what. But it's here:

10 years ago today (12.12.12), I put out an album, my one and only album as my side alias Beta. I wanted to do something for the anniversary but lost the original project files, so I remade the songs on piano:

Despite being a side alias, both the original album and this 10th anniversary version are available under my Aetherius profile on streaming services.

I put out a new ambient-ish EP at midnight (my 9th EP!). No drums this time, just synths, bass, piano & strings. Happy New Year!

So, I don't know how many of you all have ever used a service like Distrokid, but I pulled the trigger on it last month and while I'm not making money or anything, I kind of find it surreal that my stuff is on Spotify and about a billion other networks and apps I've never even heard of.

I put up two game soundtracks (I have the rights to publish them on my own), an album of odds, ends, and demos, and my little 8-bit-inspired album, Nothing Fancy
I say 'inspired' because a) it doesn't conform to the technical limitations of any old console, possibly making tracker purists mad, and b) I didn't make like 30 minutes of remixed Megaman tunes or anything like that, I tried to write and structure them as if they had lyrics, even though they don't.

Anyway, this isn't an ad for the service or anything, I just found it neat. I'm planning on releasing a poo poo load more music music this year, so paying like $25 for all of it to be uploaded everywhere wasn't a bad deal.

I've been using DistroKid since 2018, and yeah, it's still kinda surreal to me that my music is out on streaming services and that I can see artist data like where people listen to my music. It's in a lot of countries where I don't know anyone, so it's very cool that my stuff has spread there.

Money aside, how many listens do you get?
Not many. Between the data I see from Spotify and Apple Music, I think I average between 10-20 monthly listeners, but I'm also a solo artist who doesn't play shows and I have no idea how to market my music beyond posting it to social media and like I'll usually post it here too. Still, it's worth it to me to have all my releases on streaming services. If I recall correctly, Spotify has included my stuff in similar artists' radio stations, so that might be where I'm getting a few of my listeners from.
