16-Year-Old Jacob Cade Is Bringing Back Rock N' Roll by The Jacob Cade Project

Hey I really enjoyed that and the video was professional and well done. You've done a great job there. Would love to see someone in your age group "bring back rock and roll". That's the music of my generation and I'm glad to see the younger age groups still getting into it. I will share this with my modest Twitter network, but just a word of caution... My group has attempted a total of three Kickstarter campaigns in the past few years and we failed on all three. We got closer each time but ultimately failed to reach the funding goals in the end. I found Twitter to be the least effective of the social media platforms but others have said it worked for them. Facebook seemed to work a little better but only amongst people who really knew us well and had personal relationships with us. Focus on those people who know you best at the beginning of your campaign and that will have a more positive impact on those who don't really know you at all but still see your campaign. People are just psychologically hardwired to want to back something that appears to be succeeding already. Most people aren't leaders, they're sheep and they will follow the rest of the herd. That's just how it is. So get your numbers up with friends and family first before you start spending ad money on the masses. Thank you for sending your material to me.

IF YOU ONLY KNEW - FILM NOIR VIDEO by Claus Zinger

Very entertaining and well done in many ways. The vocals are obviously abnormal in their delivery and that's what's appealing about them. Certainly they are not meant to be pretty or soothing. My favorite part was the section between about 2:42 and 2:52, as there is a certain intensity about them at that point that was wanted in the song. Other than a few keyboard flourishes here and there the rest of the music is adequate and mixed well although not terribly daring or adventurous. The focal point is the vocals and nothing else really detracts from that. It works well in that way as the spotlight can only be on so much at any given time. The listener will naturally be drawn into the overall (good) strangeness of the vocals which are the focus here. The video works well, obviously, with the song and the twist at the end was unexpected and nicely played. I was entertained and in that regard you have succeeded where so many others fail. Thank you again for continuing to send your work this direction. Hope to see more of your work and your music soon in a film or television soundtrack.

No One I Know by Claus Zinger

I appreciate the simple ambience and the overall clarity of the drum sound. Because of the nature of this genre I also understand why the beat never really changed but I also noted the offbeat(s) that kept it interesting and quirky. The other sounds swirling around changed just often enough to keep my interest for the entire four minutes and added to a feeling of nothing ever resolving, as if the sound could just continue on and on into perpetuity. Excellent soundtrack/mood music and the video fit in with this motif very well. I am a fan of ambient music, such as Portishead, and when it's done really well the music can serve so many purposes, i.e. film scores, and you seem to have your finger on that pulse. Excellent mix and sounded professional and clean. I would continue to pursue this niche of the music industry (ambient/soundtrack music) as I think you may be able to find many who are in need of this darker, more down-tempo genre of music. Thank you for sending to me.

This was a helpful way to get introduced into the platform. The video was quick and to the point. Editing seemed appropriate and not overly detail-oriented. Just enough info. Thanks. I will share this on Twitter. Most people won't understand Fluence and all that it has to offer until they really get in and check it out for themselves, or ask someone else to explain it to them. But the video is probably good enough to pique the interest of inquisitive people.
