Today I posted my first reel on a new Instagram account that I created a few months ago. I use this account to share and promote my electronic/soundtrack music. To create this reel, I had to spend time creating an interesting musical texture using my modular synthesizer. Then, I separately recorded audio and video. Next, I edited, mixed, mastered, and exported the finished audio and synced it to the video, which I also fixed up a bit. Overall, I enjoy this work, but at the same time, it feels like a lot of effort for a 50-second video that no one will see. In the description, I described the hardware products I used while tagging their manufacturers in the slim chance that they will further share my reel or send me free stuff or something. Additionally, I included 10 different hashtags to improve my visibility. The reel has only been up for a few hours. Most of the little engagement happened within the first 15 minutes of its posting. Fortunately, I was followed back by one of the manufacturers that I tagged. I will update this post if any major events occur…
