Hello friends. I need work. A. to survive and fight, B. to make space for more art in the face of our dystopian present. I'd be amped if that work came in the form of music, sound design, sonic art and activism.
My wheelhouse is dark and dirty electronic for my personal work but I am an ex-pro who can remix damn near anything and can bend sound design to sonically fit cool projects. I have references. Some friends here on the feed might like to chime in to help my case?
I am available for donate what you can commissions for game assets, remixes, loops and beats, soundtracks, media tech support?. Keen to hear your ideas.

Would you care to check out some dark dance, industrial, synthpop, powernoise, horror and dystopian soundtracks? This is a great time to donate anything at all, if you can, for my always free to download open catalogue [did you see my recent covers album release?] which thanks to your help is growing and hopefully much more this year.

If you are in a decent place and might like to just send a few bones my way. This helps plan my year to not just be more productive and active with my own music outputs but also able to do collaborations, remixes for others, and my general backstage artist support and activism for the bard class.

Whatever platform you can tolerate using, I'll add to the kofi progress bar. I know there are many pressing and apex issues pushing us all for time and resource, so I really appreciate anyone that wants to help us go down with a good angry cathartic stomp. I am lucky to have a secure home but as I've shared in the past, I cannot work in public spaces so I subsistence farm and universe willing, make noise with my friends.
I hope to see you at this years web concerts and in the feed.
Stomp in solidarity.

Gonna start doing monthly #ccmusic listening parties, but still need to figure out details. If you are interested in joining @alien23@social.trom.tf aka @alien23@friendica.feneas.org, me and Viktor, lmk your availability and we will try to work out a time. Waiting on Pot-C in Japan to see if Sunday is an option. Right now looking at Saturdays & Sundays. If someone wanted to host something during the week, then I would be happy to promote it.
If wondering who Viktor is: https://blocsonic.com/artists/viktor-van-river/
Now I'm #listening *again* to Rebuffering, a collaboration by Tizzer and krumpet_love, recorded in 2020. I listened to this about 4-5 times after discovering it last night;
https://blocsonic.com/releases/track/bscomp0054-disc-1-tizzerkrumpet-love-rebuffering/
Subsequent releases on Tizzer's BandCamp reveals them as more of a prog metal experiment. But this track is brooding psychedelic rock, like something from Radiohead's later albums. Their 2014 album Contact Light has more of this jammy vibe.
(1/2)
#HatTip to Alternatives Airwaves, who featured Rebuffering in a Nov 2023 edition of their podcast. A mix of corporate rock, of which the podcast delivers only the intro and outro, and CreativeCommons tracks, played in their full glory;

it's #BandcampFriday! right now I'm unemployed with no income, less than 3 weeks away from complete bankrupcy, so I ask you to consider using some coins to download and own some of my music on this fine day of Freya: https://cairobraga.bandcamp.com/
I thank you all in advance. 
Boosts are appreciated!

@wjmaggos another thing to consider would be if we wanted to have a bigger #ccmusic & #netlabel meet up that weekend in #Chicago or suburbs.
And then there's the question of having a broader event. We've got some time to put it together.
@ryno @tmray @blocsonic @dlikdh @thebugcast @mirlo @benpate @axwax @clongclongmoo @alien23 @petecogle @edinburgh_man
Hopefully I'll see @wiloma this weekend ans we can discuss.
I ran out of char. I know there are folks i didntb tag. plz boost or tag!
Rethinking music streaming:
What if there was a Support Tab?
When you've listened to an artist for 30+ minutes in a month, they appear in the Support tab to suggest based on time listened consider supporting them with a donation link.

@photomatt and Openverse, the search engine for CC-licensed works
searching for Carsie Blanton, a great #ccmusic artist who participated in the flotilla, it doesn't come up with any music. just pictures. maybe it's Bandcamp's problem IDK.
I am thinking about leaving #soundcloud and moving to something else. Does anyone have recommendations for a #funkwhale instance? There isn’t a de facto default instance like with mastodon, right?
how come @ccreleases has only 210 followers?
how come @ccreleases has only 210 followers?
Yeah, of course!!!
Because #AI companies are all so very nice and trustworthy people and of course will honour these kinds of agreements, in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY they honour robots.txt!
Quite honestly: 🤮
We don't need AI thugs scraping our works and we don't need contracts to let them do so. We need a way to fight this menace effectively.
My #ccmusic doesn't exist as a self-service shop that makes it easier for AI bros to destroy art and culture even faster.
my @azuracast server (great software) puts out a stream that I link to from my website, that others can add to streaming radio apps like @podcastaddict (we need more and better dedicated apps for this). probably just need to expose those URLs on TIBR.
I feel like music discovery is best from a live DJ (then podcast) and @ryno adds a chatroom (which is nice). I think @owncast is the future for this. but that brings up the question of rights. #ccmusic
