(Original post on r/GameMusicComposition)

Hi, my name is Alex. For some time, I've been thinking about ways to promote small-time, unknown video game composers. A way to push music that would otherwise go completely unnoticed up to the forefront. I have been trying mercilessly for three years to do game composition full time to no avail. So, I understand firsthand the frustration of trying as hard as you can, but getting nowhere.

What do you guys think about a record label / publisher that specifically brings on composers with little following but big potential. Composers for games that end up on Itch.io and Game Jolt, not Steam and home consoles. Maybe for each release, there could be a system that recommends the listener a new album similar to the one they just enjoyed based on tags.

Maybe the label / publisher could also be used as a community hub, something that could allow game developers to find you instead of you finding developers.

If you have any ideas, advice, or thoughts on the matter, I would love to hear it!
