Fediverse: I’d love some help spreading the word on my friend’s brand new album Lost In Light. His band Empire Arcade just released their album on BandCamp and nobody knows about it.
He describes it as: "New Wave. Postpunk. Rock. An amalgamation of amalgamations. Welcome to the Empire Arcade.”
Please give it a listen and share / boost this post so he can get some ears on a year’s worth of hard work. Thank you!!

And if you prefer the #Fediverse, I put Réminescence on #Bandwagon: https://bandwagon.fm/688b7317e1b83fde430bb423#Music#MastoArt#MastoMusic#IndieMusic#NewMusic

If you prefer, here is the complete piece of #Music: Réminescence. #MastoArt#MastoMusic#IndieMusic
I wrote another piece of original #music, inspired by #minimalism and exploring some orchestral as well as electronic soundscapes. It is called Réminescence and I find it quite atmospheric and #intense, I hope you'll enjoy! #orchestral#IndieMusic#MastoArt#MastoMusic#NoAI #compositionhttps://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/re-miniscence

My birthday is in 13 days and I’d love for this one to not be traumatic like many in the past
I learned audio production so I could independently make music, and am working on my debut album, while taking art commissions and trying to spread the word about my storybook 🖤
The book is written & illustrated by yours truly, about my experiences with homelessness and complex PTSD, but summarized from the perspective of a kitten.
I do a ton of different forms of art, and love taking custom digital art commissions.
& my music is for other survivors and people who have experienced the world similarly 🖤
Any boosts are hugely appreciated alongside any support of my art, thank you! ✌️

🎧 New podcast episode! I meet Kirsten Lambertsen @mizkirsten of @indiebeat an online radio station that offers discovery for independent artists. Listen to the podcast here! https://www.lorenzosmusic.com/2025/06/kirsten-lambertsen-indie-beat-radio.html
Venerdì 20 e sabato 21 giugno presenterò due serate di musica ininterrotta (o meglio, interrotta solo dal mio blaterare) dalle 19 a mezzanotte, nella meravigliosa sede del Club Tenco di Sanremo. 🎶
L’industria musicale diventa sempre più un settore di squali ossessionati dal profitto, mentre il Club Tenco rimane baluardo della musica sincera, che ha qualcosa di sentito e potente da voler comunicare. Il cantautorato non è morto e non morirà finché ci saranno squinternatз come noi che credono ancora nella poesia e nelle parole delle canzoni. 💜
🎼 Parole d’Autore è una mini-rassegna che abbiamo inventato e deciso di dedicare unicamente ad artistз emergenti nel panorama italiano, in occasione della Festa della Musica del 21 giugno.
Sto ascoltando alcunз di loro per la prima volta in questi giorni, mentre altri sono amici che sono stra felice di vedere finalmente dal vivo nel contesto del Tenco. 🔊
Se sarete nei paraggi o non vi sarà troppo scomodo raggiungerci, io e la gang di @scambi vi aspettiamo. Ne varrà la pena.
Maggiori informazioni e biglietti qui.
