Basic toolkit for a self-promoted musician
Based on the title of De Quincey’s excellent book (Confessions of an English Opium-Eater) I thought it would be fun to create a blog entry with the title of “Confessions of a Hungarian Self-Promoted Guitarist“). However, finally I found the idea too much and a little constrained, so I chose a much less pompous heading for such a brief blog entry on this rainy Sunday evening. I don’t want to whine much about the hardships of being an independent artist: I think there are more pros than cons here, and I find it clearly refreshing that I don’t have to adjust myself and my music to the momentary needs of the music industry and market. So I stay on the positive side and enjoy my independence.
Still, it’s always good to let the world know that I still exist and do stuff that people may eventually like. I, therefore, made a small promo presentation for my Instagram page using a very handy app called Canva. The presentation is practically a carousel of infographics with uniform design and condensed information on how to find me and my various weblinks. I’ve never done something like this before: it was fun and took quite some time, so I’m really curious about the outcome.
