Maybe some community knowledge can be of help not only for me, as I think /mu/ is one of the wisest boards of 4chan.

I studied music for more than 10 years, been doing music for advertising and occasionally short films for around 10 as well, and now I'm 34 and trying to focus my career into film music because advertising is usually not very enjoyable.

Advertising is unstable and film is (for what I think) kind of a close circuit where you are only relevant when your work has been on a feature film that also has been relevant. I had a friend who made the soundtrack of a relatively known film in my country and after that he got contacted for more work, but still he's not confident work will keep coming.

I'm in Spain, which I know is something important to take into consideration, but still there are probably some general ideas to get there. At the moment I am:

- Contacting directors of award-winning short films that suit what I'd like to do, because directors at this stage are sometimes close into going for a feature movie, in which budget is usually enough to make something decent, in other words, no sound libraries and paid.

- Making music for music libraries like Envato, to see if I can have a little income to help pay the rent.

- Still contacting advertising agencies to offer my services.

What I think I lack here is personal contact, but it's not like you can meet in person a film director or an art director from an agency like some kind of tinder, or it's not like having a band, in which case you can meet other bands in concerts to be part of a scene. Except that one friend who kind of made it, I know no one in this business to know if there are things I should be doing. And my friend made it because a lucky strike, so it's not of help.

At the moment I am sacrificing everything to get this because this is the only thing I see myself doing, but I'm struggling with money and any shared wisdom to use the best of my time would be very appreciated.

Anyone else feel like they've reached their musical peak? That they can find nothing that compares that over which obsessed and listened more attentively than anything else? This anxiety is a painful boredom.

In my case it's Mono, in whom I find the peak of scope and originality that I find less in others.

Can someone rec me music like Mono's that would still manage to lead me into something eventually different?

For example:

Skip to 04:00 if you're impatient.

Anyway, save me this anxiety so I do not dwell and grow tired of what I already listen to almost exclusively.

>For a band that was hardly known when it was changing the course of rock music, it was surprising that its reunion caused so much sensation. Their first album in two decades, MBV (2013), was heralded as a masterpiece by pretty much all the publications that had ignored their real masterpieces. Truth is that the beginning borders on self-parody: She Found Now (basically an update of Sometimes) whispers lounge pop to an endlessly repetitive guitar pattern; the amateurish shoegaze-pop of Only Tomorrow has an unfinished guitar progression that the average hard-rock band would have turned into dynamite; and Who Sees You (basically an update of Only Shallow) boasts one of the most predictable guitar solos of the genre. If nothing else, the second trio of songs drops Shields' annoying whisper for Bilinda Butcher's coldly morbid hissing. However, the suspenseful and futuristic cosmic quasi-instrumental Is This And Yes is hardly innovative 20 years after Stereolab; and If I Am is little more than a nostalgic tribute to the film music of the 1960s. New You is a winner, relatively speaking, of what used to be called "bubblegum pop": a marching progression a` la Tommy Roe's Dizzy, a guitar vibrato a` la Tommy James' Crimson & Clover, etc. This Freudian return to the (rock) womb continues on the chaotic imitation of the Madchester sound of the 1990s of In Another Way. The album closes with the two "experimental" pieces. Other than looping a frenzied drum pattern, it is not clear what the instrumental Nothing Is is trying to achieve. Wonder 2 is hyper-distorted warped psychedelia and does certainly more than simply update Loveless to the 21st century. However, the problem remains the same: a trivial idea gets repeated endlessly without coalescing into anything of substance.
>There is little to salvage on this collection of mediocre derivative songs. This is the confused work of musicians with no inspiration who desperately try different styles hoping that at least one will work
