Just went out and bought some stuff today and decided to give this a go
Let me make a video for you and feature you on my broadcast
Hello, a few months ago I started a hobby of taking submissions, making videos for songs that don’t have them (I also accept already made videos), and curating a 24/7 broadcast of indie artists. I accept all genres but I would love to have some more noise rock as that’s what my taste gravitates towards. Here’s some links including the submission form (I can only accept songs sent through the form)
Submit here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXURzM6tlrzNXGsLgN\_WnLj6ktIDYFSCS7cUWvEUr1v5\_dYg/viewform?usp=header
Broadcast: https://react.tv/ch/static-tv
YT: https://youtube.com/@staticarttv?si=lNcUKv7m8CAjAfXG
YT playlist of just videos I’ve made: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRXmPI5Z-KUs&si=z6IIFlCVx8FeTJhe
Looking for independent tracks for a 24/7 rotation
I run a small 24/7 independent visual broadcast.
Accepted tracks go into rotation, not a one-play dump.
Free. You keep the rights. No pay to play. If you only have audio we can make a visual.
Any independent genre is fine. No AI.
Drop one track in the comments or go ahead and submit, link is in comments
P.s. I’m a little busy today, but, I will be listening and responding as much as possible!
STATIC TV WANTS YOU
STATIC TV is a 24/7 independent broadcast featuring all indie artists. In less than 2 months we’ve received almost 200 submissions, so thank you to all who have already submitted!! <3
Here’s why you should submit if you haven’t already:
• 24/7 channel, not a playlist or feed
• no algorithm
• real artists, real variety
• no pay to play, you will never spend a cent
• you keep full rights. Always
• accepted work goes into continuous rotation, not a one time play
• we accept songs, music videos, cartoons, experimental film, and more
• if you submit an audio-only track, we will make a custom visual for it
• your name stays on screen during the whole piece
• if/when there is revenue, the goal is to pay the artists who helped build the channel
• submitting now is ground floor, gives you higher consideration when more is possible later
• you tell us where you want people sent to support you, we put that on the YouTube upload
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, and you want to be part of something new, I’d love to hear from you!
Form and links are in the first comment. The form answers most of the questions I get asked.
P.s. I’m making a site that will have an artist directory and the rest of this in one place.
STATIC DISCORD SERVER IS UP
Hey all, I put a discord together for the artists, collaborators, crew, and viewers to all hangout, share work, talk about what’s airing, and discuss the future of STATIC!
Can join here: https://discord.gg/Wb7chuBuj
I’m new to discord so bare with me 😅
Free custom visualizer, a spot on a real 24/7 channel, plus ongoing reviews and reactions for your work
I run STATIC, a 24/7 independent broadcast channel, music videos, visualizers, animation, glitch work, all from real submissions.
If you don’t have a visual for your track, I’ll make you a custom one, free, built specifically for that song, not a template. Already have a video or visualizer? Submit that instead and it goes into rotation with credit.
Accepted work is also considered for review and reaction segments I’m building out with a couple different hosts, and there’s an opt in for consideration by other established, partnered reviewers outside STATIC too. Not a one time placement, work can end up talked about or featured more than once as those relationships grow.
No fees, no exclusivity, full rights stay with the artist always. No algorithm either, it’s a real person curating, and once something’s in rotation it stays based on quality, not how recent it is.
Built solo, no funding, no investors. Over 150 submissions in the first month and a live rotation already running.
Submission form’s below if you want your music heard somewhere it won’t just disappear into a scroll.

Script has a strong core but is poorly written. Seeking realistic pricing and possible collaborator
I’m looking for some honest input on pricing and, if it makes sense, whether anyone here would be interested in working with me.
I have a feature script that I wrote with zero real experience or training, just a lot of YouTube videos and Google searches. Because of that, the actual writing is pretty bad.
Structure, dialogue, pacing, and craft are all weak. I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
That said, I still believe the core story is strong. The concept, the emotional through line, and the central conflict feel solid to me, even if the execution right now doesn’t do them justice.
What I’m hoping for is someone who would be interested in rewriting and finishing the script with me (or taking the lead on a proper rewrite while keeping the core intact).
Before I go further, I want to get a realistic sense of what a fair price range would be for that kind of work, given that the foundation is there but the current draft needs significant help.
If you’ve done this kind of collaboration or rewrite before, I’d really appreciate hearing what you think is reasonable. And if anyone is potentially interested, feel free to comment or DM me and I can share more about the story.
Thanks for any straight answers.

Sharing a free resource for artists: real placement on a 24/7 channel and reviews
Sharing this in case it’s useful to anyone here. I’ve been building something called STATIC, a 24/7 independent broadcast channel, music videos, visualizers, animation, glitch work, all sourced from real submissions.
One thing worth knowing about: if you make music and don’t have a visual for it, custom visualizers get made for free, built for that specific track, not a template. Existing videos or visualizers can be submitted directly and go into rotation with credit.
Accepted work is also considered for review and reaction segments being built out with a couple different hosts, and there’s an opt in for consideration by other established, partnered reviewers outside STATIC too. So it’s not necessarily a one time placement, work can end up talked about, reacted to, or featured more than once as those relationships grow.
No fees, no exclusivity, full rights stay with the artist always. No algorithm deciding what airs either, and once something’s in rotation it stays based on quality, not how recent it is
Built solo, no funding, no investors. Almost 150 submissions in the first month and a live rotation already running.

I built a 24/7 broadcast with the same values as this sub, no AI, ever
Hey all, I’m a Baltimore musician who used to organize DIY variety shows before life got busier (pre COVID and pre being a parent). I built STATIC, a 24/7 independent broadcast channel, music videos, visualizers, experimental work, all from real human submissions as kind of my way to get back into that world with the life I have now.
No AI-generated content, No algorithm deciding what airs either. No fees, no exclusivity, you keep full rights to everything you send in. If you make music with no visual, I’ll make a custom visualizer to go with it.
I’m doing this solo, no funding, just time in between working and parenting but there is real interest and outreach from other platforms/creators and other opportunities that will be arising along side and in collaboration with STATIC. Almost 150 submissions in the first month, a live rotation that expands daily, and review shows and other things in the works. Figured yall would get why it exists. Submission form and link to the broadcast and YT below if you want to check it out <3
Organizing DIY variety shows showed me what the algorithm fails at. Bringing very different artists together, building real mutual respect, and letting fans discover artists the algorithm would’ve never shown them, because it assumes it already knows who you are. I built a channel around that model
Heads up, this one’s long. My goal was to write this once and have something that actually explains the whole project properly, instead of a quick pitch that leaves half of it out. If you take the time to read it, genuinely, thank you.
Almost 150 submissions in the last month, and a live stream already running. This is real and already in motion.
I’m a Baltimore-based musician who stepped away from the scene after COVID, then had a kid. Before that I organized DIY underground variety shows. The best part was watching completely different artists respect the hell out of each other by the end of the night, trading music, sharing fans they never would’ve found otherwise. That doesn’t happen when everyone’s siloed into their own genre feed. STATIC is my way of bringing that back, in a form that fits the life I have now.
I’m one person building a real 24/7 channel for artists who don’t fit the algorithm. No company, no investors. A small team’s starting to form as more people get the idea.
The algorithm isn’t measuring quality, it’s measuring watch time, and it mostly ignores you until you already have a following. When it does recommend you, it’s usually just “sounds like this other artist.” That creates convergence too, everyone chasing the same metrics until whole scenes start sounding the same.
Most platforms really only give you three bad options: get ignored by the algorithm, get stuck in a small local scene with no path out, or pay your way into visibility through promo packages and boosted placement, which might be the worst option of all since it’s not about the work anymore, just who can afford to be seen. STATIC doesn’t do any of that. No algorithm, no pay-to-play, ever.
It’s a continuous visual broadcast, made entirely from submissions. A person decides what airs, not a metric, based on whether the work feels genuinely unique and good, not different for the sake of different. Right now that person is just me, which is a real limitation, so the goal going forward is bringing in people with different tastes to curate alongside me, not just one person’s opinion deciding everything.
And it’s not music only, real series are already waiting to air as the library grows. Music videos, visualizers, experimental shorts, animation, anything that fits. No AI-generated work. No fees. No exclusivity, you keep full rights always.
It’s a real broadcast too, everyone watching sees the same thing at the same time with chat open, something a feed can’t give you. If you make music with no visual, submit it anyway, accepted tracks get a free custom visualizer made for that song.
The submission form also works as a contract, about as fair as one can be: you confirm you have the rights, you keep full ownership, STATIC gets a limited non-exclusive license to air it with credit, nothing more.
On money, honestly: there isn’t any yet, so I can’t give a number. Direction is viewer support and vetted sponsors down the line, and whatever that looks like will get figured out publicly with the artists who helped build this, not decided behind closed doors.
This wasn’t a recruitment post, just wanted to lay out what STATIC actually is and why it is. But if you made it this far, you’re probably at least a little interested, and if you want to help: be a viewer and give honest feedback as it develops, submit your work, or take on something bigger, promo, organizing, visuals, whatever you’ve got ideas for.
Submission form, broadcast, and YT linked. No catch.

Looking for someone building (or who wants to build) a review/reaction show and wants a real home for it — indie music, all genres
I run STATIC, a 24/7 independent broadcast channel — no algorithm, no feed, just continuous rotation, built entirely from artist submissions. No submission fees, no pay-to-play, artists keep full rights, human-made work only, still early-stage and growing — almost 150 submissions came in over the last month alone.
What I’m looking for right now is someone trying to build a review/reaction show for indie artists — any genre — who doesn’t have a home for it yet, or is struggling to get traction with one. Not looking for someone already established with a big audience, I’m looking for someone early, hungry, and good, who wants a real spot to grow into.
Here’s roughly how I see this working: to start, segments air on STATIC and STATIC’s YouTube, using submissions I already have full rights to — there’s already a steady flow of material coming in, so this isn’t a “hope something shows up” situation. This is where we build the format together and figure out what works. As it grows, I’d start collecting artist consent specifically for review use, which opens the door for you to build your own channel off the same content, fully yours, credit to STATIC where it started. Long term, the goal is you end up with something real and independent, while staying connected to STATIC as the place it grew out of.
What I can’t offer yet is payment — this is early-stage, unpaid right now, same as everything else on the channel. If it grows into real revenue down the line, the plan has always been that early people who built this with me get priority, not left behind once it works.
If you’re doing this already in some form — a podcast, a YouTube series, a stream, whatever — and want a bigger stage for it, or you’ve been wanting to start something like this and haven’t had the platform to do it on, I’d genuinely like to talk. Not looking for a transaction, looking for someone to build this piece of the channel with long term.
Comment or DM if this is you.

STATIC: A Channel Built By Artists, For Artists
Edit: keeping up with the comments has become too much, this is a genuine project with feet on the ground. I’ll leave the post here for anyone truly interested.
Music discovery is broken. Every platform runs on an algorithm optimized to keep you scrolling, not to find good work — which means the most distinctive, uncompromising stuff is usually the first thing it buries. Make something great, get 40 views. Make something forgettable that hits the right hooks fast enough, get pushed to a million people. That’s not discovery, that’s a slot machine.
STATIC is the alternative. It’s a 24/7 broadcast channel, not a feed — built entirely from submissions, curated by a human, not a dashboard. No algorithm deciding what you see. No AI-generated art or music, ever — this is a channel for human-made work, full stop. No pay-to-play, no submission fees. You keep full rights to everything, always.
If you make music without a visual, we’ll build one. Submit an audio-only track and if it’s accepted, you get a custom visualizer made specifically for your song, free.
This is real and moving right now — almost 150 submissions in the last month alone, and a live proof-of-concept rotation that gets new work added daily as visualizers get finished and more videos come in.
If you’re making something that doesn’t fit the algorithm’s idea of what deserves attention, this is where it belongs. Submission form linked below — no catch, just a real place for real work.
