Many thanks to those who have suggested I put my music on Dsound. I would like to do that, but I have so far not been able to log in to Dsound. I did find out how the get the posting key from being logged on to Steemit, but when I paste the key into the Dsound log on form, the login button remains grayed out. I am running Kubuntu 16. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Meanwhile, here's yet another instrumental: Economic Servant
awesome. glad you GOT MY message! make sure you click show PRIVATE posting key. thats the key you type in i think... OR if it offers to let you log in using SteemConnect, use that. its an easy one-click way to do it. after you get logged in, be sure to include the hashtag #artzone on your posts. i help curate creative content here on steem using an account with 40,000 steem called @artzone. and i would like to feature your work.
Thanks a lot. I have now successfully signed on, and I will start posting. I especially appreciate your offer to feature my work. Should I put the #artzone in the body of the post, in the tags? Are there any pieces that you would like to see posted first?
Thanks again
Just continue posting your work as you make it, as I assume that is what you do. How you have added the hashtag #artzone to the post is good. d-sound will automatically add a couple hashtags to your post... i think they are #dsound-music and then #dsound-(whtever genre of music you select when you upload it. ) im so glad you got logged in. You should also have a proper Image to upload with your song. Would you like me to help you by making one for you? you should send me some pictures of your music studio, your computer or some thing for me to work with.
I'm not actually using the large computer. I'm using the small fanless shown next to it. No acoustical noise. I also use an M-Audio Mobil Pre.

It was a laundry room before it became my office.
hey what do you think of this?
Very good. Very creative. Thank you. Is that Java script animation? How would that graphic be used. How many bytes in the web page that produces that effect?
Thanks again
It is a GIF animation. You would upload that to dsound, as the cover image. You should save the image on to your computer, so that you can upload it along with the audio to dsound.
Let me optimize the image really quick, to ensure less byes are being taken up....

You are very welcome! Thank you for sharing all that info with me.
Here is the article I wrote on you:

Have a good night! -Zack Goulet
I'm thinking of portraying you as a kind of tech wizard... i wish i knew more about you to make it more personal... kind of like a coat of arms.....
I wouldn't want to be portrayed as anything I'm not, but I do have some tech cred. Here is a link to my technical website:

You can get my resume in the "about" link.
You might also want to listen to this to get an idea of my technical/political situation:

To learn more about how I create my music you could watch this YouTube video. The software used in this demo is one or two generations back. I'm currently on about my 5th iteration of rewriting the composition software. I would call it a sequencer, but it doesn't do many of the things a sequencer does, but it does a lot of other things.
Thanks for your help. I know I don't pay enough attention to marketing and graphics, but I just keep on doing music.
I'll send along some pictures later today.
Great! it would be interesting to hear what things your software does that a sequencer cannot do. It will be good to have a Written description of the process of creating these.... to have on hand to paste as the Body of the steemit/dsound article when you upload a sound.
That gg demo video is cool.
i was also looking at your youtube and saw this:
did you make the visuals for it? looks like some kind of computer generated imagery? would be interesting to know more about that too...
wow you are brilliant! you are like leonardo da vinci!
Thanks for the compliment. It's true that I am smarter than the average bear, but when I make a mistake, it's usually a big one. I'll try to be careful, and I always appreciate people telling me if they think I am going off in the weeds.
Thanks again.
