#humanAlgorithms so this looks good on camera but unfortunately had a lot of damage from the washi tape. Still good for prints though

on positive side though what I can do with these pencils will give me so many options....

@ja_nice Well, I believe artists should get their fair pay - especially considering that the time, effort and funds to make an album almost always greatly outweigh the income, and it is such a struggle to even just break even...

Also, just as a general note as I put out more music on this new (and hopefully perpetual) identity. If any of you that follow me hear a track and want to know how something was done, just ask. I don't believe in trade secrets or any of that.

If something I did can help people learn to make the music they want to make, I'm not going to hide the process. I'm going to teach them. #musicproduction

on this #BandcampFriday remember the amazing crate-digging tool that is the Black Artist Database

https://blackartistdatabase.co/#/

the random shuffle function is great fun, and you can also search by name, genre and location

#FollowFriday meet #BandCampFriday (a🧵)

Here's five fab fellow #Fediversers to follow.

All of them released riveting #records, some full of beautiful #beats, others bring you #beatless bliss, but all buyable via #Bandcamp (bar one, which is free as in beer)

To make it easier to listen, I'll put each one into a separate toot - coming up right now:

(well, right after these tags)
#music #records #synth #guitar #dance #ambient #techno #indie #alternative #electronica

Classical guitar meets field recordings - the result is absolutely gorgeous.

Mastodon tip: you can customize a column to list multiple hashtags (and block-list some of them too). It's a good way to discover all the posts gravitating around the topics you like (eg. for art, #mastoart is a popular one). That's really a feature I love here and wanted to share it to newcomers.

@ja_nice omg I love your debut album :O

speaking of: if you know any #Music producers, please tell me, I want to follow all of them #musicproduction

The most interesting piece of criticism I’ve had for my music is that it was “hidden” from the public.

At the time, it was freely available on Bandcamp, there vinyl copies in the shops, and lead tracks were on YouTube. But it was not available on any of the streaming platforms.

I haven’t changed that - it’s still Bandcamp exclusive - but I thought it was a rather interesting and revealing comment.

If you can’t find it on Spotify, you value your own music and creativity. But are you also being an elitist snob by refusing to engage with the biggest musical platforms out there?
