Hey Out of Ether Just came across [Harmony ] on Broadjam. Strong record, but it feels like it should be getting more traction than it probably is. Quick one; are you running any kind of structured push behind your releases, or mostly letting them move organically? I've been noticing a pattern on Broadjam with tracks like this, quality is there, but they don't get picked up properly because of how they're positioned after release. I've got a specific angle in mind that could shift that pretty quickly, can break it down if you're open.
Hi Supreme Oliver, Thanks for reaching out! At this time we are looking to secure more licensing placements in TV and Film structured around non-exclusive contracts when possible. We mostly let songs move organically, historically when we have gotten a placement on TV or Film placement we see the organic traction move accordingly. Always open to a conversation but full transparency we travel quite a bit and can be slow in responding. Best Regards, Out of Ether
I appreciate the clarity, that helps. What you're describing makes sense, but from what I've seen, relying on placements to drive traction usually limits how often those placements actually happen. There's a positioning layer before and around the catalog that tends to make a big difference in how often tracks get picked up, especially in non-exclusive environments. I can already see a couple of areas where that could be tightened on your end. Given your schedule, probably easier to walk you through it properly over email so you can go through it when it suits you. Reach me here: supremedirectoroliver@gmail.com and I'll break it down for you.
Appreciate your quick response! Also, respect the Grind. Email works best for us- We are in a writing session for the rest of the day and making family time over the weekend. We will reach out via email early next week.
Sounds good, respect the session, that's where the real work happens. When you reach out, I'll take a proper look at how your catalog is currently positioned for placements and map out where things can be tightened, especially on the non exclusive side. Safe travels and enjoy the family time, we'll pick it up next week.

Introduced to your music by Lisa Brothers, who I met through mutual friend and fan, Lori. Good stuff!
Hey Lori! Glad you found us and thanks for the comment! Lisa Brothers is without a doubt one of the best Singers in Nashville- and having met her you also know that she is one of the nicest too! ;-) Both Lisa and her husband Rick are incredibly talented- We feel very privileged to be able to work with them!
Dig the new tune!! ~GP
Drinking Her Beautiful is a magnificent song on so many levels. The idea is brilliant and the production, hook and arrangement are worthy of the song theme.
Hey Adam, Thank you so much for listening! We were very blessed to have some incredibly talented people (between tours) help us produce the track in Nashville! Wish you all the best with your song, "Redefined"- from the description the song comes from a very special and meaningful place, the best songs always do! ;-)
You know that "Drinking Her Beautiful" is an archetypal country song - but I don't think it can be said too often. Great job.
Hey Matt, Thanks so much for listening and for the kind words!! We laughed when we wrote the song Drinking Her Beautiful, the session guys couldn't stop laughing when we recorded it in Nashville. We are honored that you think it is potentially an 'Archetypal' Country Song- In the end, if it brought a grin to your face we like to think we succeeded as Writers! PS. Thanks also for the endorsement! PSS. Go Badgers!! ;-)
Go Pack, eh! Da dird preseason game is on tonight, dontchya know?
Ya hey- dem der Pyackers ar lookin purty good der hey, dontchya know hey!! LOL ;-) Go Pyack Go!
hey, Sons of Wisconsin, about time you showed up on the Leaderboard. . .
As always, trying our best to Cheesehead Represent!! There is some amazing talent and songs this year- Yourself absolutely included of course!! One of these days we should do some writing together, it would be a lot of fun!!
after the holidays, would be very pleased to collab even if your out of ether.
That sounds great! We do plan on traveling to a warmer climate in January- but 'ether' way that should work for us!
not to burst your bubble (especially since you're 'out of ether' and bursting bubbles can really sting), while I live in the south, my little mountain saw 136" of natural snow fall last winter. call it the redneck Alps. cheers. . .
WOW That is a LOT of snow- or more importantly snow shoveling!! The only problem here is that when the wind chill hits 50 below zero Starbucks serves coffee on a stick!! Can't complain too much though, during the spring, summer and fall it's a pretty nice month here! ;-)
nice and neat you can get 3 seasons completed in a one month period. disappointed to not see you guys in the finals. oh well, that's peer review for you. and, definitely look ofrward to doing some collab. already have a couple of lyric beds I would like to see what kind of twist OoE can bring to the table.
forgot, on the invite the to the Aademy
CONGRATES ON Academy of Country Music - a real honor. Have Fun!!!
As good as George Strait! Wow!
Great song but should be on the country charts.Love it!
Hey Protilius, Congrats on the Spooky Song Win!! Awesome Job!
There was a lot of great work in there that month, I'm very fortunate to have been selected and am grateful for the support of the community. We're keeping the tradition alive though and have continued expanding on our dark soundtracks as of late... One notable production that came out of the studio was "Nightmares." It was the track I really wanted to compete but it wasn't done at the time. Hope things are well for you boys!!! It was good to hear from you! N
Hey Margaret, Hope all is going great for you!
hey !! same here and congrats on your great finish in the 6 pack !!
Hey Protilius, Just wanted to stop by and say Hello! We've been out of the loop for a while but hopefully we will be around a little more! We hope all is going great!!
you guys rock, my only regret is not taking the time to watch you all perform live when I still lived in WI. You all lived so close to Madison too. I saw your post in the 7th can, I hope you boys aren't having too bad of a year, regardless... you'll always have a friend in WA. Let me know if you ever need some affordable engineering done, would love a chance to work with you all. Your work rocks!!! My industrial troll is still drinking her beautiful even after all this time:)
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations to you for finishing in the top 20 in the 2010 bj 6-pack competition! You continue to create wonderful songs to share with the world that move people and make a difference in their lives. All my very best, H. Jay Carney

"Music without integrity is just noise!!"... Yes! Your group is inspiring. Thanks so much!
If I had half the talent these guys do, I'd do a hostile take over of MTV and get rid of all that reality television and reclaim the airwaves with good music and heartfelt story telling... These guys rock... and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. N
Hey Guys, GREAT Name! Only fellow Wisconsinites can appreciate Shmelt and Cowpies!! Thanks for reaching out and please keep in touch!! Your Friends, Out of Ether
