Album Feedback ?

So I've mailed out my album to homies/friends and well. I haven't had much feedback. I've probably had 3 people actually give me any kind of feedback besides "congrats". The congrats are cool, don't get me wrong, it was a journey... I guess as a producer, it's just interesting to hear what people think. Especially it being instrumental, I'm sure it's not as easily received to the general audience as opposed to a musical artist who sees instrumentals as black canvases.

Thank you to the 3 with information and feedback from my first free album release. On to more projects...

Rictor Site
PDC MySpace Revamp
Start creating sample library
Organize old music and samples

Inspiration

Inspiration comes in many forms. As a creator, I have found motivation in the new N.E.R.D. album. I doubt I will have more rock like music, but I do feel motivation to just create natural and organic music. Anything I am feeling and want to create. Thank you N.E.R.D. for this inspiration.

Album Released!!!

What up!

I've been working on my music production for some time now. I've switched from hardware to software and in that transition it's been a long process. I wanted to create a free album for any DJ's, Upcoming Emcees, Film Production Crews, etc. could use my music for anything needed.

What kind of music is it? Is it a full album?
I do have my own kinda dark style, however, it's molded with what I feel is urban, or as many say, "hiphop". This album is an EP (12 tracks) and it is all instrumentals.

I am looking to create music myself yet your album is all instrumental, are you willing to work with artists?
If any artist are wanting to do any kind of work or collaboration, please feel free to email me at rictor.smith@gmail.com. I am open to working with other artists. I am from the Bay Area, CA, however, sending files has been the norm for a few years now, we can always work something out.

Last Shouts out
Last but certainly not least, I want to thank everyone who has stood by me and everyone who has been wanting to know when the album was dropping. I'm doing this out of passion and as a hobby, but I look forward to taking music production a little more serious (not super serious of course). To all my friends and family who have been patient and have known I was just super busy with the many projects I am working on.... Thank you, I love you..... and look, I FINISHED! Enjoy the album, feel free to drop any feedback on my page.

Add me as a friend, spread the word and pass along my EP!
