Monstrum Sepsis - A Great Instrumental Electronic Music Project

Monstrum Sepsis is a great musical project that I've been enjoying for the past 6 years now. I bought pretty much all the alpha versions of their albums and own two of their shirts. Since we've been on the topic of instrumental music and all, I decided to post this video and mention Monstrum Sepsis as well. Monstrum Sepsis is in the genre of intelligent industrial or ambient industrial. It started off with both members Rob Wentz and Paul and they met as animation majors in school and together they did a combination of music and animations. (HINT: remember the prior blog about Marketing Instrumental Music). Now it's just Rob Wentz in the project and he plays shows with his visuals and everything and has had a lot of his tracks remixed by major remixers that have done work for other artists from Industrial Music's mega label Metropolis. Below I posted from Monstrum Sepsis's YouTube Channel a visual test Rob Wentz did along with one of their tracks from their album Deep Sea Creatures
Check It out and also c heck out their latest album Artifacts

Marketing Instrumental Music - The Visual Show by TalkMusicBiz.com

TalkMusicBiz.com is an amazing website that contains music career tips for indie artists & labels. It's hosted by a great guy and a great musician that calls himself Geebz. I've been watching his videos and they are all very informative. I highly suggest you indie artists and labels out there to pay attention to this guy and watch his videos.

Today, I wanted to go ahead and post a video containing something related to what I mentioned in the last entry and that's Marketing Instrumental Music. Below I posted the video in order for you guys to watch, but be sure to click on his actual YouTube channel and the page itself that contains this because it has links to examples of what he's talking about in this video. It might take awhile to stream, but with patience as a virtue you will reap a very rewarding lesson in marketing your instrumental music.

Sleep City Crisis's First Album: "The Akashic Records Vol. 1"

Not many people might know but I recently just finished pre-production on my first album. I got inspired by Nine Inch NailsGhosts I - IV.It's a electronic instrumental album. I was skeptical about doing something like this before, but I quickly changed my mind due to the fact that many other artists have done similar stuff like this (Example M83'sDigital Shades, Vol. 1)It gives a sense of freedom to do what you want as a musician. You can always pull that card to give your fans a different taste of you normally do, with a disclaimer of course. You always want to inform your fans of what you're about to release. Not everyone likes instrumental music especially if you're a fan that's used to the songs released by the artist that has great lyrics and all.

I decided to start this basically because of the mood I was in to just composing music without words. It became an awesome experience because it's also easy to release instrumental music on your own as well. So I took the time to complete this hour long instrumental album which has a lot of ambient type music work which I love. Some of the stuff sounds pretty harsh as well. I put up a few of the new tracks on the Sleep City Crisis Music MySpace just so you get an idea of what the album contains. Regardless there is still a lot of work to be done like post-production, but at least the real essence of the creative side is done.

Remember, I'm going to be needing people that do graphic designs and know how to do computer art in order to form the website and all. You will be credited upon the album's release. I need a electronic .pdf file art package as well to release with the album which will def. give you room to have your art exposed and perhaps build an amazing portfolio.

So keep your eyes peeled!
