Indie darling Mei Ehara comes out of the bedroom and turns the concept of a McGuffin into her most direct work yet, sharpened by a U.S. tour with Faye Webster. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/09/12/music/mei-ehara/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #music #meiehara #singersongwriter

Hi there!
It's Bandcamp Friday, which means any and all purchases you make there will go to the artists! Spotify can't fucking do that, huh?
Anyway I've got not one but two projects on Bandcamp that are worth your listen
One is my own soundtrack and ambient music found at https://incrediblealibi.bandcamp.com/ where my music can be groovy or spacey or just thematic music you wanna listen / meditate / vacuum / smoke an ounce to. My favorites are "Justice Served" and "Home in Body"
The other, believe it or not, is Emma Accelerator, that industrial/electronic band featuring me, and RubixCubix from TransPanic. Our EP "Collider" is out and it is excellent. I like "Blocklist". Rubix likes "Moment Mori". Listen here: https://emmaaccelerator.bandcamp.com/
I'd like to make more music and eventually, start touring again! Maybe even get a studio! Please enjoy the music and thank you for your ears and support! #BandcampFriday #Bandcamp #FairMusicFriday #Music #bands #ambient #soundtrack #Industrial #electronic #groove #Portland #portlandOregon #Inide #Independent #independentmusic #DIY #songwriter #SingerSongwriter #Collider

TIL there's nothing more affirming to a songwriter than to hear someone else cover your song.
Forming an idea in my head that we could get a bunch of Fedi songwriter-musicians to pool together an album's worth of their songs and hand them out to fellow bunchmembers to rerecord and reinterpret them.

Singer-songwriter-producers: today I am begging you to mix your vocals at least 6 dB louder. You know the words! You wrote them, you sang them, you can make them out even if they're marginal.
Get someone who wasn't involved in the songwriting or production to do a test listen for you. If they can't hear the vocals front and centre, they're too quiet.
Related advice: if your equipment supports ducking, use it to duck competing instruments under the vocals. Even a couple of dB makes a huge difference.
Ducking is the reduction of volume in one track/instrument so that another can be heard over it. At its simplest it can be done with a bog-standard compressor on the track to be ducked, using the vocal track as a side chain. You don't need to use fancy ducking plugins; I don't.
Consider ducking any instrument that occupies the 200 Hz to 3 kHz range, like guitars, pads, pianos, etc. because those are the instruments that will compete most with vocals.
