@npub1m36…ermh Yes, I've been eyeing up there prs copies, as well as the goldtop p90 Les Paul, the high spec SG, and I think they do a bass VI that's cheaper than the Squire one.

@npub1m36…ermh Nice choice. A PRS is on my list of needful things. Although it keeps getting shunted to the back of the list as money keeps going on cheap midi-contollers, and expensive software.
Which model is it?

As Part of #BandcampFriday I have a few freebies on my page a login EP and the retro-electro Psychademica album have been set to £0, but I also have my album of three 11 minute anti-bangers "A Constellation of Lies" available via GetMusic.fm

Was lucky enough to hear demos of the songs prerelease so already know how good they are.

@npub1hpp…cswm I think when I stop paying Distrokid they'll remove my songs from all the platforms.
I did make an artcore account, but hadn't heard of hhd other two do will check them out. Cheers.

2024-06-23 16:58:43

Don't think I'll bother renewing my #Distrokid subscription for another year.
I think instead of bothering with streaming platforms I'll focus on #bandcamp and maybe uploading to my own #YouTube channel.
I'll maybe take another look at streaming once I have a better idea of the musical direction I want to head. Maybe.
Also, #Spotify and their BS can do one.

#BandcampFriday is upon us once more! This time I have a fresh track prepared. It's #synthwave number called "Ultraviolet Lords of the Neon Highway (87'-89')"
Check it out at #bandcamp if you like that kind of thing.

Once again I forgot to write,or at least hold back a new track for #BandcampFriday meh. Luckily I finished a couple of fresh ones last week if you dig 80s and 90s house music.
Also, still have the free album up, and as always I'd love more #bandcamp followers.

@npub10cs…5prq Very cool. The first album (Car) was my intro to PG too, but I came to it well after release in '84.
I'd been to Wales to spend a few weeks of the summer with him, and he was listening to that album once or twice most nights.
He made me a copy on C90 to take home. It's still a fav and regular listen of mine.

2024-01-20 17:00:23

New track out on #bandcamp will be on all the other places soon too.
This one is a throw back to the late 80's Acid House rave scene.

@npub1m36…ermh
1/2 Patreon is more of an ongoing concern type of affair rather than a fundraiser for a specific project.
I think long run a patreon might be a good idea for you as you can provide patrons with a mixture of cover versions and originals in audio and videos, plus throw in tabs, lyrics, etc, make the occasional cover version a patreon exclusive. It could definitely help fund future projects.
To raise cash for the upcoming video though, Kickstarter or GoFundMe are the better option.

Something a bit different with Xmas present sample packs and Native Instruments Fables (from their Evolution Series).

Follow up to my last #WIP and #ShowYourWork another snippet of the same track. This time after mix and master.
Need to watch some more mixing and mastering tutorials.
Title is - Bonkwave Nouveau - A song dedicated to the men who wear the Ryan Gosling "Scorpian Jacket" unironically.

A snippet of something I'm working on. It's a backup submission.
I'll sit on for the next #Bonkwave compilation, as I struggle with the deadline.
IT hasn't been mixed, or produced yet. Just a rough cut.

Promoting #BonkWave vol 2 by posting it to Threads, Insta, and Reddit with zero explanation of what it is.
On the very unlikely event that anyone even noticed (I'm not exactly "Mr Socials") It'll be interesting to see if it intrigues anyone enough to ask.

I remember grabbing Club Classics Vol 2 the day it dropped, it was a glorious summer day, I went straight to the Wine bar where we all used to hang out in Aberystwyth, got the barman to put the tape on and we were dancing on the tables.

I had that one on vinyl back in the 80's. Got it from Andy's Records in Aberystwyth, which I've just discovered by accident of YouTube, is still going strong.
"A Skull, a Suitcase, and a Long Red Bottle of Wine" is such a great song (and title).
