RE: Meet The Cajom, the fabulous beat box.
Thank you for your kind words Davood :-)
I saw things are going quite well music-wise for you on Steemit. I am really glad about that: you deserve it! Keep going and stay inspired!
@muphy I also love to watch your scientific videos, I love space and anything out there, in past I always following science news and documentaries, in these days I am just working, I wish I can find time to watch them all, man I never knew that you have this much knowledge!! I have seen your last post, about the mirror world, I really love to watch it but still busy as you know just working (my only job) everyday to make some money for the moment and future, and I am really glad that its working for me finally LOL , thank you so much, I just try to do something new everyday :) , I am glad that in steemit they understand the price of knowledge that you have (all the great post that you are writing and creating videos), I also know that you deserve more than these, but maybe this is just a beginning :)
best wishes for you my friend!
Hey Davood,
Yes I noticed that you were producing a lot these days. You must start to have quite a catalog. Maybe you could make a few extra bucks by uploading on sites like Pond5. I get a nice passive income for my own tracks there.
4 months, it is just the beginning! :-), yet, I don't post everyday because it takes a huge amount of time to build up these scientific articles, and I have my students to care for first (my priority).
I can't wait for the scholar year to be over so I can go back spending time in the studio. Yet, I do not think I will post my tracks on Steemit (I didn't get the attention of the "music whales" with my previous attempts...), so on Steemit,I prefer to focus on my other interests, science , and continue to make my music work for me elsewhere, as it already does. I will make a few exception of course, like for example the upcoming mini-album for which I will post probably a few excerpts on D-Sound.
You? Do you have musical projects longer term (Album? gigs?).
How are you @muphy :) I was sending you some messages in discord, I think you might not be online over there :) , I will be glad if we could talk about those scientific things some time :) , as I said, still struggling with life problems, but well my favorite genre is rock music and meaningful lyrics to singing them, If I find them I will create albums :) , I mean writing some good lyrics and creating some special and new tracks, or maybe creating my own genre.
we you are totally right, and most of this is about the situation, for example for one second think if Bill gates would waste his windows project in a site which nobody even check that work or spend money on it, I am sure we lost many of our bests here but well for me it was the only way to make some money :)) , who doesn't like to make money like the way some artists in LA or other cities in US making (Hit tracks) , Happy or Gangnam Style form LOL , some people telling me that my genre is not good or my music is not as good as for example Gangnamstyle, I tell them : Money! Money give the value to art works in these days, if not then the TV and many other social places had great pieces on their first pages :) not a photo of Kim Kardashian or some new Rappers or Pop hit singers, I mean for example someone like Paco Delucio a great flamenco guitarist, if you ask people they don't know him, god father of new form of Flamenco , but if you ask them they know Justin Beiber I think even if a man is in a jungle somewhere in Africa he knows Justin LOL
and as I said your works are really pro, and you are not like some people who just calling themselves sound engineers, you are a real engineer with much knowledge! I respect!
as you might know Iran is banned from outside, and also people, we are banned from outside and inside!
outside : sanctions
Inside : blocking any useful site! (even steemit and dsound are blocked and I use a vpn and choosing austria or canada as my ip server.
I said about these banning because I meant that the only way I can make money is with crypto, we dont have Master cards or any other cards, we are not able to sign up even in paypal.
governments are banning people not each other!
I will check Pond5 and try to do that if its crypto then I can cash out if not, then I have no way :(
thank you brother!!
peace!
Hey Davood.
I am sorry to hear about the banking blockade you are subject to. I find this ridiculous, from both sides (external sanctions, and internal blocks). You are not responsible for the stupidity of governing bodies, yet you pay the price for it. Yes Crypto is the way to go, yet in this situation I wonder how you manage to cash out.
Pond5 pays me by Paypal, but I think they can also by bank transfer (to be checked). I am pretty certain that they are not ready for the crypto world, but I haven't checked their payment methods for a while. Maybe you can arrange a system similar to when you cash out BTC from your broker (a banktransfer from Pond5 to your account at your Broker's? explore and even ask them at Pond5 - they are topnotch in individual support).
If I had not gone into teaching as my main activity, and kept on making production music, today, I would probably be self-suffiscient just with the music. Yet, I would be bored to death and probably in an existential crisis right now.I think it would also have hurt my inspiration producing crap music like a machine (when I mean crap music, I mean great pro sound with a boring composition because background music...). Yet, it makes a nice passive income. My best selling tracks have reached the 4 digits over the years. Now, I prefer putting music back in the hobby box for a while, producing what I want not what works :-)
Let me know how it goes, be well and stay inspired, my friend!
