Promoting Local Music

[konsandy]

hi 4 the last 4 mths i have been surfing many internet website about music

& i notice that many of these sites have review / interview / feature some Cds, album / artist / band so as to promote music : was wondering if SOFT could do the same

for example many of the cds sold on soft is like nobody no who are they & what kind of music it is .... if every week/month we could feature some cds review, bands, artist could spice things up & good exposure for local musicias... :idea:

konsandy, thanks for your suggestions. good thing about the soft store is that we have samples of the music. customers can straight away listen and see if they like it.

on the other hand, i am exploring possibilities to setup table at flea markets that are music related.

i though that if every week or month a CD is feature that would help expose & publicise local works... this is becuause many people including softies will be more than tempted to overlook the CD on sale section b'coz like most singaporeans we don't support local works:

so if there are good reviews or comments or interviews with band/artist composers(ie background), SOFT will attract more curiousity, & keen interest in that CD. more people will be attracted to read the article & go hear the music, & visit the page where the cd is sold

about the table what do u mean: is it a flea market type concept where sellers can put their cd for sale: how about soft orgainsing a soft "sale" or soft 'fleas" market where ppl can sell their CD or music related things??

i was invited to the COMPASS new members event where those new members who released cd get to perform.... maybe we can something like tat... the cd sellers perform some songs & later they have a table to sell their stuff & also interact with other softies... there may be softies who also want to know what it takes to get a cd done... maybe have a faq session where we can learn from another ,et hehe jus ta suggesstion
