I received a message from bandcamp saying that they were transitioning from paypal to stripe. I provided the required information, but payments are not showing anywhere. Any suggestions?
Recently I had the good fortune to have my music played in an "ambient set" prior toa series of Nine Inch Nails concerts. For a little known artist like me, this is mind-blowing. It is also an opportunity to get my name (Unearth Noise) out. As I am new to Reddit, I began posting about this event on several related subs, to generate interest, and gloat in general. Most responses have been positive, but some folks seem to be offended by seeing similar posts in various places. Wondering what your thoughts are.
I wanted to share some good news which occurred recently. Like most struggling musicians (I imagine), I google myself from time to time to see if there is any activity for Unearth Noise. Last week, what turned up was mind-blowing to me. It seems my music was being played in an ambient set prior to the Nine Inch Nails Peel it back concerts. I've seen references which say that the song selection for this "ambient set" was determined either by Trent Reznor, or by his collaborator Alex Ridha who performs under the name Boys Noize. In either case, I'm ecstatic, and forever grateful. I've seen a little bit of a bump in interest as a result. Funny thing is, I went to see NIN on this tour with my sons in NJ. The crowd control was so bad that we didn't get in until after the show began. If we had gotten in earlier I would have heard my tune playing and my head would have gotten so big it wouldn't have fit through the exit doors! Anyway, thanks for listening to me ramble. If you are interested in hearing the piece, it's called "Like Meeting God" featuring the poetry of Lady Of Fire (Tanish Jackland), from this album: https://unearthnoise.bandcamp.com/album/prayer-and-resonance-2
I recently discovered that NIN is playing my piece Like Meeting God by Unearth Noise in their pre-show ambient set on the Peel it Back tour. I'm absolutely blown away by this, and to be in such good company with Throbbing Gristle and others. For a struggling musician like me this is a really big deal. Funny thing is I saw NIN on this tour with my sons in Newark, NJ. The crowd control was so disorganized that we didn't get into the stadium until after the show began. My head would have exploded if I heard my music playing in an 18,000 seat venue. Anyway, I would really love to be able to contact Trent in some way, to thank him. I've tried reaching out to his management, agent, collaborators (Boys Noize and Alessandro Cortini), but so far have gotten no reply. I understand that responding to me is probably not their top priority, but to me this is life-changing. Any respectful suggestions would be very much appreciated.
