zjedmir - crossover prog

yeah thats alright, thanks

the cover arts were in my downloaded folder which i recently cleared fully to create space on my drive and they were deleted, yes i deleted my garbage bin aswell
there is a slight chance that a slightly higher quality version is stored on the video making software but its unlikely
but its not that much of a loss, my album covers, especially the old ones weren't very large so if i had a larger image for them it wouldnt be much different than just resizing the one you would get from the thumbnail

everything you can see on my channel page is public, there are unlisted videos but those i find so horrendous i dont even want them under a demo subsection, sorry

unfortunately i dont have any image that is in higher quality than in the video so it'll have to be in the quality its in on youtube, apologies

We try to include the complete discography of any artists that we add to PA, irrespective of the perceived 'quality' of some of those releases. It's not absolutely necessary for us to do this of course, but the likelihood is that if we don't add these releases at the outset, then somebody else will at some point later on (since any registered member of the site can add an album to an artist's discography). If we add these releases now, using decent cover images supplied by yourself, then at least they wont end up with dodgy YouTube images uploaded as the covers later on!

Edit: If you're not going to be making the first album and the EP available to download on Bandcamp (or any other digital platform) then I'll add them both in the 'Official Singles, EPs, Fan Club & Promo' section of your page. Normally the album would have gone in the 'top albums' section (which is a misleading heading really, since all studio albums officially released by an artist are included there). If it's not going to be made available for download anywhere though, then we'll just treat it as a demo or promo album. It's useful to include such albums on the site so that folks can hear how an artist's creative style has evolved over time.

^ Wonderful! I'll use that just as it is, plus the image that you shared earlier.

Do you have decent cover images for the first album and the EP which you could let me have, since those two releases aren't on Bandcamp as yet, and images which are grabbed from YouTube videos tend to be a bit blurry?

The bio is very short as it is at the moment, so I'd really like to include a bit more information about your project if possible. I won't include the info about where you were born, or the parts that say: "and would go on to release various cheap-amateurish projects mostly inspired by more poppy songs", and "With influences from RPI".

Also, instead of saying "Every song is made on a 0 euro budget and zjedmir is currently only 16 years old", I'd rather include some details about the physical instruments that you play, and the type of equipment that you use in conjunction with them to create your music - something along the lines of how your friend kywa lists instruments and equipment in the notes accompanying this video:

bağlama, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, melodica, misc percussion, recorder, trumpet, ukulele, venova, midi stuff - made with: musescore, ableton live, audacity, garageband.

Anyhow, without the details of the instruments and equipment that you use, the biography as it is at the moment would read thus:

Zjedmir (stylized zjedmir) first started creating music in his mid-teens in the summer of 2023, and by gradually learning more about music and getting used to it, he started to make more experimental and proggier music, beginning in August 2024 with 𓀬媌, continuing in March 2025 with an untitled album (1), and another one in May 2025 (2).

These more recent albums are more explicitly inspired by bands such as Gentle Giant, Triana & King Crimson, though almost all tracks fall on the short side, with the songs not lingering for long on melodies and themes. Zjedmir's music is often created in collaboration with others, especially the vocals.

A third album (3) was released on June 6, 2025, considered by the artist to be his most accomplished and proggy album to date.

hello sorry for the late reply

yes the information is correct, i dont think its so relevant though, im not against it being included if you think the bio is too short as is
reread my bio just now and i would like to remove the part about the "influences" and also add the info about the 3rd album being released (june 6th)
for the image

or

idk if they are good images though i dont really have anything for it, im not the one who draws the covers

btw here is a new release, i personally find it way better and "prog" than the previous albums

Let's give a listen: there has been a huge number of talented sixteens in rock music. Remember the Santana drummer at Woodstock?

^ No, that shouldn't be necessary if you're going to be changing it to 'name your price' when you're old enough to have PayPal. I'm not really hearing your music as Crossover Prog though to be honest, but I do think it might have a chance of being included in the RIO/Avant sub, so I've asked that team if they'd be willing to evaluate in the first instance.
