I’m going to get to work on my archives. I’m kind of sitting round, I can’t really focus on new tunes and I’m still a bit unsettled but so I need something to get on with.
Archives is something I can work on without too much effort.
I guess the idea of the archives is to be able to keep adding new material until it’s complete but what’s the organising principal?
I think it will be multi reference, like you can get an entry on 2004 or you could get an entry on data:bass or Further, so I might start of with a chronology, and note down seperate references from there.
There is lots of archiving to be done, both for romantech and for soul science.
And I also have to join the dreaded facebook.
Soul Science I’m going to go with a more audio/visual feel, it’s either audio, or images, or regular videos.
You’re basically, see stuff whether it’s old pictures or new videos, plus there’s lots of content to download
I guess that’s what it comes back to, a platform on which to build regular content. Whether it’s on soul science and it’s driven by new downloads and video content, or it’s the stuff on here which is more leaning toward the narrative, so there’s much more writing explanation etc. and tying in the significance of themes and messages.
The soul science brand will be very anti-brand I guess because I’m going to focus on quietening the message, so it’s really just visuals, music and our videos. There’s not supposed to be anything there, except what is. It’s non conceptual, there are no layers of meaning.
It’s a hard, analytical, it is what it is type situation.
I guess in a way it’s just a matter of using the tools and understanding what’s available, and how the tools will allow your audience to interact with the content in their own way.
We got visual content we want to upload and present, so I’ll be checking out flickr.
I’ll be looking into bandcamp and soundcloud as well as possibly reverbnation, ilike, imeem, last.fm maybe one or two others to provide the music content for the sites.
And of course youtube provides the video content that can be embedded into
Aweber is the paid email management solution I use, to take addresses for regular email sign ups.
While a wordpress blog can deliver the all purpose platform for publishing non primary content.
It’s easy to see it all comes about spec’ing your site out with the right aps and widgets to help your fans get what they need.
haha look at that I suddenly thought I was writing my music marketing blog. sheesh.
I think it’s time to put in the structure of how these archives are going to appear, and what we can do with the soul science site to preserve functionality while enhancing the design appeal.
But first I need emails for soul science and dig up my old email account for romantech. That’s going to be ugly,
Then Flickr, Soundcloud and Youtube. No more posting until it’s set up! Now crack to it!
