IF you wanted to promote it

IMO less is more.
Let the listener make up their own mind.

For my stuff, I'd say

1. Acoustic based instrumentals
2. Nothing different
3. A little radio friendly
4. Somewhat melodic
5. Minutely experimental, though not really.

Haven't really thought about that yet... hmmm

Nor have I. But my works are mainly ambient, so if I had to describe my experimental stuff, the first that comes to my mind is:
"They're like colours painted into landscape portraits. They're invisible for human's eyes, but audible for human's ears. And if you add them to visible colours, you'll make a picture wealth".

Well, the problem is that I'm very poor in painting with brushes, so I try to paint with sounds.

Really difficult since I have a lot of styles... like Italo for instance...

I'll try anyway:

- (Hard) electronic music
- "1001 things you can do with an Eminent"
- up-beat
- expermental
- melodic

I prefer to let the user decide...

New age, sometimes ambient, sometimes a bit more upbeat, albeit never leaving the borders of chillout. Very relaxing. Blending ambient/newage style with electronic music, thus experimental.

I also make some different kinds of music, I've been making some trance experimental stuff lately, as well as various piano works, but the style described above is the "Nitrus signature style".

Original

Different

Doesn't appeal to all

Sold over 1000 cd's of the first CD though, plus ton's of downloads on mp3.com.

Some good promotion helped, lot of support in Australia, US and Germany.

Didn't really appeal to the UK audience. Not commercial, too many like that, not copied, doesn't sound like anyone you could pin down but has definate influences of others.

When I do what I want to do, it's progressive-pop-rock music.

[AMR]

My kind of music?

"Your kind of music", a simple description and good to go on a CD cover.
(More than this would be less indeed. )

Kind Regards,

PS - People often describe: electronic, epic, romantic, deep relaxant, zen, angels music, universal, intrumental, dramatic, beatiful, melodic, strange, outter space, neck hair raiser, goosebumps material, emotional, soundtrack, fun, uplifting, sad, nostalic, poetic, huge, classic.

(Those who insult: it's made by AMR, and that's about it as an argument.)

Why don't you attempt describing it? (my style)

"Please listen before buying. Refunds not given."

(... also hope to use on my album IF i ever make one).

[Andy]

depends at last on my mood... at the moment my music sounds rather melancholic/atrabilious, at times also sad and even romantic...

[E-vert]

-Soundtrack like
-Jarre like
-Analog feel like
-Experimental like.....

very difficult to discribe..
