Hi, I'm wave Collector
I make otherworldly downtempo electronica
You probably don't know me, so here's one of my most popular tunes to get you acquainted:
Alright, let's get right into it:
What I'm offering
It's simple:
Twelve of my best tracks on one signed CD you can only get here, and a sticker mailed to your door, all for the cost of postage and shipping materials ($6). PLUS you get the album as a lossless digital download as well.
Proof I'm a real person and this isn't a scam
In this age of AI craziness and internet scamitude, I can understand just wanting to make sure there's a real person behind this and that they aren't scamming you. So here's a video I made for you:
And here are some real, 100% genuine screenshots of real people who bought my CDs and commented about it on social media:
Why you should listen to my stuff
There are a lot of musicians out there so it's only fair that I tell you why I'm worth your time. I have been writing, recording, and producing music since 2009, and have played on 11 different albums spanning multiple genres including indie and folk rock, electronic, and hip hop. I’ve personally written and released 5 full albums, written and released over 50 tracks, and personally recorded, produced, and mixed over 30 of those tracks.
But perhaps most important of all: I strive to make music that takes the listener on a journey. I try to create something unique, memorable, and unexpected.
Who I am (on a more personal note)
My given name is Neal, and I've always loved music. As a kid I listened to lots of electronic music like Boards of Canada, Stereolab, Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, The Orb, and so much more! I started out writing indie rock after a breakup when I was 19. I would write songs in my bedroom using Logic (the first version I got was Logic 6), and after I'd built up enough songs, I formed a band. The band thing was a lot of work, and I eventually decided I wanted to try a solo project.
Thus Wave Collector was born!
The glorious moment when I got Logic Pro 7 for Christmas
Way back in 2016 at the release show for my debut album, Catalog of Stolen Worlds
I love interesting electronic music, old video games, fantasy/sci-fi novels, and making art of all kinds.
I've found that in order to get my music to the right people, I sometimes have to just put it right in front of their face and cut through the noise.
At the end of the day, I'm just a dude who likes making music, and wants you to hear it.
Why I am running ads
It's a fair question. "Why run ads? Don't you worry about annoying people?"
Yes, of course I worry about annoying people! But the fact is, we live in a time where there is an overwhelming amount of content everywhere we look. I've tried just putting my stuff out there and waiting for someone to notice, and it just hasn't worked for me.
What has worked is making physical merch available to like-minded individuals, and putting as much creativity and authenticity into my releases as I can.
I remember buying CDs from my favorite artists as a kid and listening to them on repeat. I always dreamed of putting out my own CDs. Luckily, now I can.
I want to give other people the same experience I had when I bought a CD as a child. The excitement of popping some fresh new tunes into a Discman.
So hopefully, someone out there will feel the same joy I did when I listened to a brand new CD from an artist that I really resonated with.
