RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@elifyalvac/116133239185767164 I got a lot of responses and I really appreciate it. Some of them are boost and really good perspectives, seeing the valuable sides of it like connecting with others and documenting a journey for your own reference, and not being affected by what others do or say, therefore being confident and strong with that. I will share a general conclusion once it is complete and once I can take it in. Just to clarify, as I am getting unsolicited advice on how I should release physicals—how do you assume that everyone can afford that or maybe people want to avoid releasing plastic material for ecological reasons???smh--or points that seem to misunderstand the question: I was thinking this from another perspective: around 99,000 to 120,000 tracks are being released everyday. Does the world need more content? It was about too much content: In my own experience from the listener perspective, I changed my listening habits to revisiting my earlier methods like going onto soma.fm channels, enjoying physical releases: I have no streaming subscription. I only stream through bandcamp mostly. From the musician’s perspective, releasing music helped me change my life, in very positive ways: I can’t list it enough. But I am someone who likes to present it live and I am fed up with gatekeepers who can afford PR and marketing or whose labels and PR agents are the monopolies that keep putting the same stuff in the Wire magazine, which affects who can be booked to perform in venues and festivals: This means that these people block your way into the scene but I did hack the way and I could bypass this through organic and genuine connections, and that’s one of the reasons I enjoy being here. But I wouldn’t like to keep posting my content to others, almost adding to the footprint of too much content shared. Hope this explains why I asked this.
