    The video was a tad weird... is one of them you?
    It's not bad - I just fail to see it's relevance.
    The song was pretty catchy - I think some vocals are a must though :)

    Interesting pieces, I can definitely hear an Aphex Twin influence in a few of them
    Just curious, what program are you running?

    Though you may want to consider reducing your album's cost, if this is your debut EP I'm not sure how many people are going to pay $5 for it (does the site automatically do the album and track pricing if you choose from like a list? Right now while the whole 9 track album costs $5, each track is individually $1, making it nearly double the price to buy the tracks individually, I can understand having a slightly increased price for individual tracks but it shouldn't be such a large difference for the total album price). It's nothing about the tracks themselves, I'm just not sure how many people are willing to pay that much for someone's first self-released EP.

    Thank ye! I just compiled a bunch of footage of mine for the sake of having the song on Youtube, but nothing else haha. I'm not in the video; I was holding the camera the entire time -_- Memories!

    I used Logic Studio; I admire it's diversity.
    I can't go under a dollar for the tracks, but this isn't anything new when it comes to selling music online. On iTunes each track is 99 cents, and almost every album costs less dollars than the amount of songs it has [for example, a 9.99 album has 18 tracks on it, each for 99 cents]. They just want you to purchase the whole thing since it's more of a deal than getting the tracks individually.
    And I don't see why people wouldn't buy it being a debut; music is music :D

    You can't? That's odd, I know I've seen tracks going for 50 cents before

    Actually I'm wrong; just checked and it can go under a dollar. It can even be free for up to 100 downloads haha

    Yeah, and then you can set it to a sort of "pick your price" donation thing (still free), at least I know that's possible somehow
    If you want to charge for it fine, I was just suggesting picking a lower price for your first EP - no paypal account here so I can't purchase it atm (I'd gladly be one of the first to buy it/a few tracks I really like if I could)

    I lowered the individual tracks prices to around 50-75 cents since they're pretty short. I plan on putting it on iTunes when I come up with an album cover I'm happy with.

    Also you guys can get half off the album by typing in code 'Poniez' ;D Have fun!

    Hmm, since you're ACTUALLY going to, uhm, earn money with this, I am more than willing to help you with the cover thing. Just send me the Pics you want me to use in the cover, say what I should actually make the cover look like, and I'll do the rest.

    I made the album free for now but mainly for promoting purposes. I don't have much but could still throw in something! haha

    Alright, so I'll see to do an epic album art tomorrow for you. BTW, love EVERY, and i mean, EVERY song of the album. IT's so... awesome for freestyles and what not. None sound alike, all are original, and sound really complicated, which is good.
    And the "At the window" song should be #1 imo, sounds too much as an intro. Very awesomenelly done, tbqh. Creative.

    Why thank ye kindly! I sent some inspirations in a pm earlier for an album cover. Don't think of it as a favor you're doing for me but more of a collaboration and you're chiming in your visual direction for the album. As for 'At the Window', I put it in the middle to keep the flow of mindset/emotion in the album. [happy n dance-y to sentimental and contemplating the beauty of humanity to magic and spooky to nostalgic to bringing the mind set back into the positive side of reality to realizing there are things we can't fight, ish.]

    Sure, I've never collab'd before :D
