Well, I'll keep thinking. Have you remained in contact with other people in your doctoral group? The lead professor?

This is not about a blog, nor about A Tune a Day. You would like to self-publish, and locate an audience who like your music. If you made an album or a CD, who would perform? What would the picture on the cover be? If you rented an auditorium for a performance, who would you invite to listen, and who would be on the stage?

I remember you talking about Un Chien Andalou, you writing music for the film.

That helps identify an audience and performer.. perhaps a genre.

Think about small musicians you love, big musicians you are indifferent toward. (small audience, big audience). If you buy a CD, often there is only one or two tracks of interest, and the rest get a hearing, but that's all. So back to your music.. What are the two tunes that will make you famous?

Who should interview you? A music historian? A modern talking head? Howard Stern? Nobody at all? Who should discover you?

I'll give this more thought. But if I'm talking too much, let me know. - Dave Berman
