As often happens after a musically prolific autumn, my thoughts turn to self-promotion in the new year. This time round has been a blitz of online venues.
AEJOTZ music now has presence in Awdio, Baboom, Soundclick, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Niconico, Songladder, Mixlr, Tune in, 8tracks and some other online venues I've already forgotten.
Also, since links to "aejotz.com" are scattered all over the cybersphere, I renewed that domain. On my new homepage I explain that my music can be used royalty-free for anything except recordings sold for money. I figure that everything other than recording sales is just good advertising. Anyway, it's far more important to me that my music gets heard than that I get any money from it.
Lately I'm calling my musical style "retro-futurist synth music." I'll probably call it something else pretty soon.
I hope plenty of people download my music so that it will live longer than I do. I don't know why I hope that. Frank Zappa did an interview when he knew he was dying of cancer and when asked how he wanted to be remembered he said it didn't matter. I can dig that. He did what he wanted to do. He did his thing. That's important. One could argue that a true artist isn't just a performer trying to be a star. One could argue that a true artist makes his art because he's an artist. I know my music isn't important. But it would be nice if it made people smile sometimes after I'm gone.

"fifteen" features the 15 "best" tunes from 2015. and...
"leftovers" contains the remaining 24 "leftovers" from 1983 to 2015.
I set each album's price as "name your price," so you can download them at no cost.
It's more important to me that people hear my music than that they pay for it.
However, if someone offers to pay I won't insult them by refusing it.
