Hi all I have recently got into the genre and have had a few stabs at creating a few tunes.

If anyone on here has some good pointers towards advice or tutorials I would be grateful.

hope to speak to some like minded folk about production techniques inspiration etc.

I am not sure about the rules of the sub so haven't posted any examples of my stuff but happy to share...

RULE 1

• Must link to official artist channels.
• Do not post mixes, promo channels links, pirated content, multilinks to third sites services (all links we have as comment bot), reposts from other subreddits, pre-save links, download codes.
• Do not post promo reddit videos, reddit video from gig or with asking on ID will be approved.
• Do not repost or post already same music.

RULE 2

• To maintain consistency, to make posts easy to search, and to easier understand the post at a glance please use the "Artist - Title" format. Do not use "by", different order, other symbols. This rule is widely used across many music sub-reddits.
• Add right flair too.
• If you are submitting your own work mark that it's your own work with self-promo flair, if you wanna add more info create new comment under post.

RULE 3

• Original work is allowed but do not overpost (1 promo per 7 days) and try support others. It is for playlist too (do not repost playlist every month).
• Original artists please wait 7 days between self-promo posts please not promo only your music but try post music from others too.
• Do not spam playlists too much.

RULE 4

• Post links as link post, they need to have preview. Do not post region restricted music link.

Anyone interested in collaborating on a track or an EP? I work in Live 12, but as long as we can swap WAV files back and forth, that can do the trick. I tend to write tracks inspired by future garage, but with a bit of an edge. You can reference my work by looking up Petrichor Ocean on Youtube or Spotify or whatever. Not that it matters, but I'm represented by Dark Heart, Dreamer, and MOR Records. Just looking for some synergistic creations. Bueller?

Being a FG producer myself, and an introvert at that, I find it difficult to come out of my bedroom and play my music live. While I get that it's a genre that's more tailored towards introspective "meditations". But sometimes, it feels that like minded people can very well enjoy a silent, retrospective live experience. Last year, I tried reaching out to many clubs here in India and pitched my sound and music style. To be honest, this is like "alien music" to them here and I know it's like a decade long before this genre gets picked up in India. But when I look around the world, I seem to find no dedicated festivals where artists like me can in a "safe environment" market their music and reach more listeners. Apart from the Russian festival -Abstrasension, which also sometimes explore, other genres, there are no festivals dedicated for us FG artists. My dilemma and question are in 3 parts:

1. Why is it the case? Why no more live festivals? Is it that listeners themselves are like us more introverted and like to hear their music on "airpods" instead and go deeper inside themselves?

2. How does one, like me, who have listeners outside my home country, reach out to more people? Spotify streams and algo seems like a joke. How does one really "make it" in FG music?

3. And lastly, how does one support themselves when there are no live tickets to sell, stream money is nothing, and reaching out to more people is hard? How can one find peace in creation when there is no one listening to you and no money for you to pay bills.
