Are you a Steemit Musician with an album recorded?
I would like to consider your original songs to be featured during my upcoming radio show!
The music must be original, and recorded with excellent quality. And you must have at least 3 songs recorded. I will be playing them on my show after a brief introduction to you (and your band in you have one) and of course Steemit handles. I will also be promoting you in my pre and post show write ups, published on Steemit and available on YouYube for later.
To be considered please place a link to your album in the comments below, along with a brief, one sentence description of your music telling me what it is. Sell me on it! If chosen for a future show, I will contact you about a week before to get the necessary play permissions and the info you would like to accompany.
Be sure to Resteem! Let's get our Steemit musicians HEARD!!!
I appreciate your support :)
With Love and Light and Good Mojo to my Tribe!

Hi @arbitrarykitten I can give you permission to use any track from this artist. She's a young indie Queensland EDM artist who I co-manage part time.

If you want downloads of any let me know
Wow @angusg I'm playing the first track on the list and, damn! I I really like her! I will definitely love to showcase this talented young lady! I will be in touch soon to get the info from you :)
Thank you!
No worries. She's awesome. I'm going to be making the video for our next release for her - the song Coda, on Steemit starting later this week probably and doing a blog about it every few days.
It's a very small label, just two local artists so they don't have any money. I help out on a voluntary basis.
She did a rock album in Denmark (on the Island of Bornholm) when she was sixteen which never saw the life of day over a legal issue, then when she started this new project she had a big initial success in the UK Club Circuit with Armada in Holland and as she was getting traction she got hit again by an action from completely different entity claiming they owned her songs who was going around the internet filing false DCMA claims in bid to control her publishing. (She writes all her own songs, no covers, all her own talent and voice so it was pretty unfair)
We had to get a major legal firm to get her back her rights to her original music. They succeeded in getting back 100% ownership of her songs and publishing but it took nearly two years and was a big fight. At the moment she's taking a break. She and her husband just had a little girl.
Anyhow, what artist doesn't have some pain in their story right?
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing her story.
Although it was a terrible ordeal, and I am not making light of it, this is what music is made of. Music needs the good AND the bad to have the feeling...
I am glad she found love <3 and happiness. A little girl! What a joy!
Perhaps she will have her Mama's talent? ;)
It's totally cool. Music definitely needs the good and bad, that's what makes it music.
I'm sure she's going to keep going, I remember when my daughter was born, those first couple of years are a pretty special time to take out of the game. I did as well.
I hope she does :)
this is the track I'm doing the video for. Just waiting for the 3 min 40 version.

Hi @arbitrarykitten. I am not sure if some of my original and weird musical creations & stuff would qualify to be featured during your upcoming radio show. Or whether if my instrumental musical genres are what you are looking for or if they actually will rock your boat. }:)
Anyway, I will share with you a couple of tunes so you can check if they are good enough to qualify for your show:
The first one from the the EP compilation: "Chill & Jump Tunes"
And this other from the compilation: "Crazy Experiments 96"
For a full tour around 10 more tunes in several different musical genres, then click on the image below to visit the homepage of my bandcamp.
As for a brief description of my extravagant original music, I guess you can use the following sentence:
Alpha Inceptions from an ancient technological era. Computer Generated Hallucinations by randomly using all sorts of hardware & virtual synths for endless musical explorations. On several instrumental musical genres of deligtful electronic extravagance.
Cheers!! :)
I played a bit of a couple songs to get a feel so I could reply to your comment, and I really like Jolly Voyage! I will be listening to more throughout the upcoming weeks ~ I will get back in touch soon for permissions and such. I love your eclectic style :)
Heeey! kitty.. kitty.. kitty.. @arbitrarykitten
I thought you might like to check also my DSound Channel with a trio of samples of other very different, throbbing, pulsating, hectic & eclectic musical styles of mine too. Tsk Tsk :)
lol! Ok, I will take a listen :)
Thanks!
Hey girl! I'm so excited to see you in high gear lately. The upcoming radio should be a blast as I'm always looking for your posts, I'm sure a radio program will be a hoot!! I've still been thinking on a cute and clever name for the shoe but I'm so terrible at being creative. Best of luck moving forward, I'll be watching and cheering you on!
That means so much to me <3
Thank you :)
I love that you are doing this!!

Hi @arbitrarykitten - what a great initiative. My daughter @edenmichelle is a singer, songwriter, producer from South Africa and currently working in London. She has produced two albums for young artists and also has an album of her own - all original songs. She is also working with @lizzvox who is a DJ and @danshaw - who is the new Adele. Here are some samples of her music. If you like her material, I will get her to send you her songs and those of her artists. She also worked with a brilliant rapper - one of the best and likened to eminem.
One of @edenmichelle originals
One of @lizzvox originals

@danshaw
@shaewebb
@owenkay
@edenmichelle has a library of over 200 songs and writes for other people as well. Please let me know if you are interested
Love that you are helping the Steemit talent
Thanks for promoting our @originalworks @pandamama - wishing you all the best for your radio station @arbitrarykitten
Great stuff here, thank you!
Having worked in mainstream radio for so long, I realize it's next to impossible to get your music heard unless you know someone. Or have a mad amount of disposable income ;)
I love my Steemit community and want to do what I can for the talent here :)
Thanks @arbitrarykitten - let me know what I can send you. @owenkay and @edenmichelle have whole albums - are you on discord. I can send you a download link for @edenmichelle album and others I can send the MP3's
Yes, I am on discord- my username is the same :)
On which channel? and what are the 4 digits behind your name?

Our genre is kinda "indie alternative rock"
Cool! Thanks :)
And this new post is a blues rock song :
Secret Springs - Catch It From Above | Alternative Blues Rock
Thank you!
Not sure why you require at least 3 tunes. I have a bunch of 45 RPM records here in my basement with just 2 tunes on them, so I guess I don't qualify. I produced them years ago but couldn't get on the radio and without air time, couldn't get them into stores. Kind of a closed loop. If interested, I would need to find a way to make digital copies. I'm not even sure I can find a working record player! But now you got me thinking. I really should try to make some digital samples and attempt to sell them while there is a resurgence for vinyl.
@happyme it's possibly worth buying a USB turntable recorder, you can find cheap ones from around $60 but the Stylus's are probably terrible. Even the mid range ones (Sony, Audio Technica) probably still won't sound anywhere near as good as playing them on a really good deck.
So if you can borrow an expensive turntable for an afternoon or if you have a much higher quality older turntable then you can get USB converters for around $60 that plug in https://goo.gl/bXcjGh
Although if I were trying to rig something up myself I probably wouldn't play into a computer directly via USB at all and I'd play instead into something like a Zoom 4HN then transfer the file in through a card reader. What I've found with microphones through USB is that there are a lot of latency and mis-timing issues if you try to capture at 48 Hz (DAT quality) rather than 44.1 HZ (CD Quality) and you need to capture Vinyl at 48 Hz at the minimum.
44.1 Hz (CD Quality) clips the frequencies that extend beyond our range of hearing. There are a lot of articles on on the web saying that the human ear can only hear up to 20hz and therefore trying to capture Vinyl at 48 Hz or higher to capture the the full range of harmonics that our ear can't hear actually leads to worse sound. If you come across these type of articles beware because that simply isn't true. An engineer will always request the highest possible source file; for good reason.
Harmonics at ranges you can't hear still resonate into the music at the ranges you can hear, so if you clip them by using 44.1 Hz you lose the quality that Vinyl has that makes it Vinyl. This is all kind-of subjective though because the only true way to hear Vinyl as Vinyl is to play it on analogue gear (valve amps etc.)
The real issue on why Vinyl can sound bad when you capture it to digital is more to do with your computer's sound-card. At lot of cards people use are video / graphics cards with a stated audio rating of 96 Hz. But most of these cards in fact can't capture the extended range of frequencies because they have a non-linear (digital) response to high frequencies (i.e not analogue). If you have a high end dedicated audio card with XLR's or optical audio feeds then no problem, but most people don't have that type of interfacing unless they have built a hardcore home Audio studio.
DAT is 48 Hz and a DAT player is still much better than a Zoom H24 Pro but the issue is that if you play into a DAT player you still have to get the Audio into your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) somehow.
So most real world situations will end up with you finding some kind of solution where you have to play it in via USB. I would avoid playing in via USB.
Therefore the next best option is the 4HN pro or something like a Marantz PMD 661 solid state recorder because you can hire them for about $20-45 a day and then you can load your audio from that capture device onto a camera card and bring it in as Data thereby avoiding a lot of the latency and audio card problems involved in bringing Audio in directly via USB capture.
Recording Vinyl is fine at 48 Hz (DAT capture captures all the frequency harmonics) and you don't need to go to 96 Hz, although higher quality is alway better, but 44.1 Hz will definitely clip the extended frequencies off.
There is another simpler option which is to find a good quality studio near you that has it all set up and just get them to do it for a rate. It would probably be cheaper.
Once you have your audio in the computer that's where the joy part begins. Check these audio packages out, they are a lot of fun!

WOW!!! Thanks for all the technical information! That's all great stuff to know (and your explanations were super easy to understand), however, is it really worth it for me to spend that kind of time and money to make a digital copy of 2 tunes? I was originally thinking of submitting my records to a consignment (physical store) and allowing them to sell the records for me and take a cut. No shipping costs either! The other way would be to make a crappy digital copy so people can hear the genre of music and if they like it, order the vinyl and pay the shipping cost. I wouldn't expect more than a handful of people on Steemit would be interested, so sales would be limited. I posted up some jewelry that can be bought with SBD and have yet to see even 1 inquiry, never mind a sale.
Hi @happyme I'm glad it was helpful!
I don't think its about paying some money to transcribe two tunes, or even about any number of tunes. It's more important to think about projecting what you are setting out to achieve as an artist into a compelling story you can tell well and connect your fans to.
If you can get twenty people to a gig and it's really special and intimate for them they'll be queue-ing up to buy a physical CD if you have one and you'll shift more than in a record store. (and keep those profits even if small). But that takes time and a number of steps, whereas you can start on Steemit straight away with a blog about your journey and people are hungry to see that. All that takes is some time to sit down and really think out your story you want to tell and engage people with.
Artists make next to nothing from sales until they connect with the right fans. The thing about Steemit is you are in the right place. Everyone here is real and is connecting for real.
People who become interested in you enough to become genuine fans are there because they are interested in your journey and your story above anything else. You'd probably make more money (and definitely would get followers) by making an endearing set of you-tube films about trying to get your vinyl transcribed than you would in sales at the beginning.
Everyone has a story. You just have to commit to it and things will start and that will be the source of where your future sales will come. The beginning of your story, the Origin story, is actually proven scientifically to be the most compelling. That's why a lot of artists have traditionally re-invented themselves every year as a new persona. People absolutely love and connect with your origin story so you could start with that.
I'm sorry to have given you the wrong impression. I am not an artist. I am the producer. The artist sold approximately 200 singles off stage, but never really pushed the sales, so I'm left with the bulk of records. No CD's were ever made, just the vinyl records.
Well, if I am going to be showcasing an artists songs on a two to three hour long show, I really would like to give the listeners a real feel for the music :)
With proper self promotion, you could definitely find a market if you make digital copies. You can always try SteemGigs. There are many talented individuals here that might be able to help :)
Good luck! And let me know if you you are able to convert!
Ah... I see, you showcase just 1 artist per show rather than mix several artists together. Yes, I can see that would require more works.
I'm musically challenged myself, so I can't make anything worth listening to!
When I find the time, I really should put some effort into selling those cases of vinyl 45 RPM records I have. That would be a great way to earn some extra Steem!
Try an auction for that- you'll find greater interest and higher financial payout ;)
My limited experience with auctions has been dismal. Only got $400 for a house-full of stuff and we even had to deliver it all. I think we spent close to that on fuel to get it there, never mind the time and effort of loading and unloading everything.
WOAH. I was thinking one of the more niche specific auctions. I sure there are some collectors who will pay top dollar
Thanks for that idea. I did a search to see if there was anything local. I found a site selling mostly from the UK and USA, but they sell known artists and still not a lot of actual bidding going on. My records are of an unknown artist, so probably next to zero chance of success there I would guess. I was not able to find a niche auction for music locally.
Nice! Thank you! I pressed play on You're the one I wanna do ;) Love it!
I'll be messaging you soon!
Great initiative, will keep my eyes on this!
Awesome, thank you! And if you come across any talented musicians you think need some promo in your Steemit travels, please send them my way!
My original music can be found here.
I write honest, melodic and deeply meaningful folk rock music. I want to overthrow this perfection pressure of modern society and provide a safe space in which to be human again.
I absolutely adore your description, and will be checking it out this week! Beautiful website
Thank you <3
Hi! Great iniciative! If you want check out my band.
We sing in spanish but I hope you like it. :D
I like it! Do you have more songs?
Thank you for listening! :D
Yes! Here is the whole album
or
Ok, cool! Thank you so much! I will definitely be contacting you here very soon!
Thank you so much! I'll be waiting. :D
My email: [email protected]
Cool!
Awesome idea! Fantastic venue to share unheard music. There is so much undiscovered talent out there, so thanks for bringing awareness to what's out there! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Kevin! I have had so many wonderful submissions already- I'm stoked! I can see a Steemit Record label in our future ;)
Wow this is crzy
lol, crazy?
Definitely wanna get into this album....yes crazy in a good sense.
Hey there!
I have independently released two albums and one demo, all of which can be found here https://morktra.bandcamp.com/
I have it set where you can download the whole albums for free.
Also, my website address is https://morktra.com/
As for my style and sound, it would become readily apparent that even though I don't play metal music anymore that it's influence is still heavy on me. My music 9 times out of 10 is pretty sad and dark. By my second album I am pretty far into my dark night of the soul as they say and the songs have an eastern spiritual aspect to them lyrically with regards to my journey through this life at the very least.
The first album is poorly recorded and mixed IMO because at the time I really didn't know what I was doing. The demo I released was way better recorded with the purchase of some better equipment and an increase of recording knowledge. My second album is a further extension of that improvement, although I myself find some of the tracks have an inconsistency in the mix in hindsight. I'm not really even close to being a perfectionist anyway LOL
Anyway, I hope you enjoy what you listen to.
Peace!
Awesome, I love your into!
I will be listening this week and getting a hold of you!
Thank you!!
A few things i would love to drop in on this for you to consider.. first off here is the official steemit artists music compilation post for volume 2 with volume 1 included featuring artists here on steemit original music that is free to be played on your station and supporting community artists. https://steemit.com/music/@soundlegion/steemit-artists-music-compilation-volume-2-support-over-20-music-artists-here-on-steemit-free-downloads
Secondly I would also love to jump in on this as an artists myself here is a link to my full album Journey of a songwriter featuring original multi genre tracks produced by various style producers from around the globe. http://bonnielegion.wixsite.com/soundlegion/music
please download or listen right on the site and def us anything that inspires. much love for this. I am always looking for radio shows to promote original material...
Hey wonderful meeting you!
Thanks for the compilation, appreciate that.
Your album- each song was produced by a different producer, do I have that correct?
yeah I work directly with a mound of very talented producers in various genres, each with there own special quality and flavor to create fresh and original tracks. @qrittix and @simonkraemer are two of my more exclusive producers here on steemit and are also featured heavily on the Journey of a Songwriter Album. The Escapist album also features @qrittix and has done quite well with tracks like "Burning Trees" and "Along the Bottom featuring Cher Forgeron" @cherforgeron is a canadian talent also here on steemit. You may be interested in these tracks. Please dive in and if anything moves you please feel free to run with it and let me know I will make sure to give a post about what your doing here for artists and maybe we could collaborate for more promotions with my Sound Legion presents Steemit Artists Music Compilation which has been doing quite well here with now over 70 original music artists. Volume 3 will release this december and we have up for vote its genre which may be acoustic singer songwriter, EDM or Holiday originals and covers. All of this might be great stuff to talk about and promote on your station . I was very pleased to see your post as have been trying to reach out to as many podcast and radio shows willing to support the communities talents and of course all the new material coming out of Sound Legion itself. :)
We must get together!
I should have everything ready to go by this upcoming weekend. I definitely want to work with you - are you in Discord and whereabouts do you live?
you can find me on discord @soundlegion my email is [email protected] . I am from Northern California. Will look for you as well on discord

Hi @arbitrarykitten I composed my first song when I was 5 yrs old. I have an album "Teardrop Rain" with 21 original piano pieces I composed in addition to dozens of other piano tracks I have composed over the years. Some have been used in video games, soundtracks, documentaries, and other projects.
The famous London producer Andy Wright wanted to produce my music. Just as I was about to sign with him, bitcoin fell into my lap. This was in 2013. So I went full bore into bitcoin (along with the other two companies I run) and shelved music once again sigh.
When performing my music, some in the audience would wipe a tear or two, so I called my album "Teardrop Rain".
Here are some examples of my piano compositions:
