If you try to find good electronic music by Google search engine,
you might be pleasantly surprised.
On Luxembourg website called Jamendo
you can see that one of the most popular composers is Alexander Blu.
The link on his site leads us actually to Aleksandar Sasa Stamenkovic,
the musician from Novi Sad.
Actually, Internet was a sort of blessing for me so to say,
because I was not able to sell my music before.
Producers were not very interested in instrumental music.
And then, Internet appeared…
And talking about web sites,
there are a lot of good ones and it’s really hard to single out the best one…
however, during the time, a couple of sites have become important for me,
one of them being Jamendo from Luxembourg,
where music bands from all over the world
can publish their music under the license ”Creative Commons”..
It means that their music is free,
if it is used for non-commercial purposes.
You can listen to it, modify it, use it for non-commercial purposes,
but if you want to use for any commercial purposes,
you have to pay to the author. So, it’s really an attractive license.
Your music there, is very much listened to,
which can be precisely measured by special tools and parameters.
Here are thousands of visitors on your site
who leave very interesting comments.
Yes, I have published all of my music works there.
I have uploaded five albums on Jamendo.
Album called May has had the largest number of listeners.
In only a few years, is has had more than 30.000 downloads
and 500.000 listeners, which is really great.
A year ago, the web site started a commercial Jamendo Pro License,
and it works!
They say I am one of the best sold authors.
All the time we’ve been talking,
you seem to be experiencing your success with very modest feelings…
I simply sit at my computer and klick...
Could you say something about your music models?
I could say I grew up on Floyds,
and also on Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwrek,
and later I came to love funk too.
I like electronic music, which I’m mostly listening to in the last time.
Aleksandar Sasa Stamenkovic or Alexander Blu,
the pseudonym under which he is known all over the world,
started Primary Music School at the age of seven,
and he composed his first song when he was ten.
During the 80’s he was playing keyboards in several rock bands in Novi Sad,
which toured in larger towns of former Yugoslavia.
In the 90’s, his ambitions were oriented more toward recording and production challenges,
which resulted in his starting Do Re Mi Recording Studio in Novi Sad.
For many years now, music web sites such as Jamendo and Last. Fm,
have been presenting in their play lists the albums of the Serbian musician.
The number of his fans is getting bigger and bigger every day
and our fellow townsman is among top ten out of a few thousand performers.
The number of his listeners is measured in thousands
and another interesting fact is that they buy his music on-line by paypal system.
