Neon Light

11/1/2021

 

New song available February 1st 2021

On February first the new song 'Neon Light" becomes available. This time I have been waiting a month (actual upload 2020-12-31), to see what happens if you get time to pitch your upload to different music stores (Spotify and Apple).

I want to see which options you get and above all, if it is worth the wait in exposure, views, popularity on the go. Today in three weeks time! I am already excited.

A 3

8/11/2019

 

Missing motorway

A 3 album art
The next song coming out will be 'A 3'.
Dutch motorways consist of one letter A followed by a number of digits.
From Amsterdam going East to the German border is called A 1.
From Amsterdam going South East to Maastricht is called A 2.
From Amsterdam going South to Rotterdam is called A 3. But this motorway is never built. It is on plans of the motorway network in The Netherlands (1932) but did never make it.
A 4, A 5, A 6, A 7, A 8, A 9, A 10, A 12, A 13, A 15, A 16, A 17, A 18, A 20 and there are 30 more.

That is something to write a song about, I thought.
Using words like:
Searching for, minding my own business, getting tired, having a hole in my shoe, barefoot, no soles left, the perseverance and will to find what you are looking for. Depression, a hole in my soul and the expression of sadness. Fulfillment of life's questions or demands and the ridicule of finding freedom, or not? Peace or resignation are maybe better words in this context. Although the happiness of the music-style makes it more bearable.
I had to think of  'The Smiths'.

How much money is payed out?

9/10/2019

 

Your music on music stores in 2019

So, now that only one song is out, you kinda wonder how much money you are going to earn, now your music is published. I found some numbers and I already knew it ain't much. But it's even worse as I thought.
- Napster the old torrent illegal download website is paying the best; 0.019 USD per stream.
- Tidal is owned by JayZ and pays 0.0125 USD per stream.
- Apple is paying relatively good 0.00735 USD. (20% of the market)
- YouTube pays you almost nothing, 0.00069 USD.
- Spotify who is serving almost half of the market (47%) is paying also less then half, compared to Napster, 0.00437 USD.

Between Napster and YouTube are a lot of the major streaming / selling online music stores. The best choice is to find many of the minor websites. They pay the most.

Don’t ever make a career out of your earnings; only 3% of YouTubers earn enough to cross the poverty line. Well then, I made up my mind and only do it because I like music so much, ahum!

Uploaded

The song Blue Square is uploaded to the publisher, and is prepared to get released on 150+ streaming websites. I have a full list of these websites, you can find it down this text.
It can take a week or 7 days or 5 working days to get released. They say it is sometimes only a few days. If there is one of the main music streaming websites, I will let you know.

​The beautiful thing is that I did the uploading together with my daughter Lois, who will be singing in this song. It is an exited time. And I hope everything will go smooth. As soon as there is news, ... (that is what I mean;) I let you know.

Update: October 9th, 2019, It goes smooth, all the way. Check the "Blue Square" page.

Conversion of songs - Work in progress

The wish is there to publish my music. Going through some boxes in the attic to find material from way back. Most of it I will make new, give it a new twist or transcribe it 1:1 because they sound stil good. And sometimes I really want to do it completely new.

The old material is digitalised (*.wav) end are in a list on my computer. Listening to them, getting familiair with them, to figer out, what to do with it.

And ofcourse the new, new songs are also being formed. Composed, arranged, orchestrated, scoring, and whatever more, being made. What a creative thing to do.
