Forgotten Musicians, Lost Music: A Plea for Preservation
I used to be a musician. A pretty good one, too. I had a record deal, I toured all over the country, and I had a few songs that made it onto the radio. But then, things changed. My record label dropped me, my band broke up, and I faded into obscurity.
It's been a few years now since I've released any new music, and I'm starting to feel like a forgotten musician. No one knows my name. No one cares about my music. It's like I never existed.
But I did exist. And I made music. And that music is still out there somewhere.
The problem is, most of my back catalogue is unavailable. My record label went bankrupt a few years ago, and all of my masters were lost. So, if you want to hear my music, you have to track down old physical copies of my albums or singles. And even those are hard to find.
Which is why I consider myself to be borderline lost media. My music is still out there, but it's buried deep in the obscurity. And if no one seeks it out, it will eventually disappear forever.
I know that I'm not the only forgotten musician out there. There are countless other artists whose music has been lost or forgotten. And that's a tragedy.
Because music is important. It's a part of our culture. It's a way to express ourselves and to connect with others. And it's something that should be preserved for future generations.
So, if you're a fan of lost media, or if you're just curious to hear some music from a forgotten musician, I encourage you to seek out my music. You may be surprised at what you find.
And if you do find my music, please share it with others. Help to keep it alive. Help to prevent it from disappearing forever.
it is the most heartfelt album I've ever put effort into.
17 songs, around 54 minutes.
it is unprofessional, it is raw, it is amateur,
it is far from perfect, entirely imperfect,
I can't sing to save my life,
but it is meant. and felt, and is important to me.
my life just about fell a part making this album.
I'd really like you check it out.
either Spotify, Amazon, Itunes, most music services.
The album is called Catastropha By Zophia Dramatica.
I didn't make it for money, its free to listen to many places, but if you happen to have the option to buy it or donate to me in anyway, my life is kind of chaotic right now, and I could use a little help. I put a lot of time into making this, though it was a passion project. I truly felt a need to create.
Nearly all the elements in the human body were made in a star and many have come through several supernovas. The atoms in your body were created at the start of our universe during the Big Bang. So if you look at it this way, then you’re about 13.7 billion years old.
Hey guys, a bit of a different post ig, but this is the music video for my debut single 'Insecurities' and it would mean the world to me if you could check it out and support me on my other socials (linked in the description of the vid!!) 🖤🤍🦢🌟
