For those new arrivals to the Fediverse, here’s a little introduction to our lord and saviour, John Mastodon.

And remember to always, and I mean always, add #AltText to your images!

John Mastodon (ft. Andre Louis[@Onj])
~ Dgar

“When the darkness fell on blue
In the year of twenty-two
The chanting started to ring true
The call went out to me and you
Join Mastodon
Join Mastodon

How could they have ever known
Their words were forming sacred tones
The ancient forces in the stone
The summoning of flesh and bone
John Mastodon

John Mastodon, they love their mum
They have alt-text written on
The tattoo on their arm
Of a hairy pachyderm
John Mastodon

The chants grew loud as we watched on
The coming of the chosen one
They emerged triumphant from
The ancient portal of Gargron

Linking people across the earth
They lead them to the Fediverse
Their admin army show their worth
Shouting loudly in their mirth
Join Mastodon

John Mastodon, they’re the one
Who takes the corporate socials on
They give their code to everyone
For every platform you might run

And fighting bots and billionaires
An artist and engineer
With indie songs in his ears

Ditch the birds and book of faces
Leave behind the corporations.
Tooting old computer cases
Open source on all our bases
Join Mastodon

John Mastodon knows all the tricks
Of every distro of Linux
They stay engaged in politics
They fought an army of Fediverse chicks
John Mastodon

Happy birthday to The Crossroads Inn, my little instance here has been going for two years now.
The name was based on a suite of melodies I came up with 12+ years ago, and at one point there were 10+ parts, but parts A and B are the core of it all. The name also works for a cosy place where all my interests come together and get shared, of course. 🍻🍾
This was played on my Gypsy Jazz grande bouche bouzouki-guitar (it's a complex beastie!), and yes, that also includes the percussion part. #Music


Yesterday I felled the erge to compose or play something, and I was just browsing through sounds. I found this old little Piano track which appeared to be something by samsung. I liked it and started to play an e guitar melody to it. I was at that point just composing my own little track with this, looped this at the parts it fit in, played a bassline, and thought some other Samsung sounds on top, such as a keyboard typing metronome or some old notification sounds in the same cord wouldn't do bad either.
Here you go, enjoy what I got. For my first mix like that, I think I did quite well. But you're the judge. Lmk your thoughts.

The Japanese koto is one of those go-to #instrument for relaxation #Music, but it also has a touch of otherworldliness to it at times, i.e. deliberate dissonances, microtonal nuances, etc. It's a zither with 13 strings, though there have been variants with up to 80.
This is a performance by ENOKIDO Fuyuki (20 mins long) with a great selection of pieces. Wonderfully played with loads of expressiveness..

When Andre (@Onj) randomly reached out offering to produce drums for a collaboration, it just so happened that was working on a song and was having trouble getting drums that sounded right. It was perfect timing and he did an amazing job. Check out the links on Andre’s profile to check out his work! He’s a real talent and an awesome human.

Our collaboration is now up on #Bandcamp for #BandcampFriday if you want a copy for yourself.

Niekedy, ked sa vrtam v statnom IT, sa citim ako zakaznik slovenskeho gastra v podobe, ako ju "ospevuju" Haf&Beyuz v skladbe "Gastrobrekeke":

"Este nikto sa mi tu tak ako ty nestazoval,
daj si prosim otocku a niekam inam otravovat odpal!"

"To sa neda nablokovat, co si sa zblaznil?!"

Since I've been having a lot of fun adapting classical music to chiptune style, I thought maybe I should follow all the way through and make an entire asset pack for RPG-type games...? Since I'm not composing everything from scratch, it could be very affordable relative to the amount of music. This is "Torrent" by Chopin, which I think sounds very Boss Music...

Jeden z umelcu si na Unreleased hodil lekce kytary. Bez meho pricineni. Coz me tesi zaprve proto, ze nase samoobsluha funguje a za druhe, ze ten nastroj lidi vyuzivaji kreativne.

Here's a lovely article about Randy Rhoads from our friends at @GuitarWorld:

guitarworld.com/artists/guitar…

One thing I didn't know is Randy triple-tracked his solos. WTF? Who can play that consistently? Well, surely Fripp, and Randy too I reckon.

Hello! It's my first post here (#newhere) and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm a musician from Eastern France, playing medieval instruments and recording pagan folk / neo folk music.
I've released two albums so far: Leaves Are Falling (full length, in 2020, feat. among others Michalina Malisz, ex-Eluveitie) and Prelude to Farewell (EP, 2024).
I'll upload some music videos here soon.
👋

THANK YOU! WE DID IT! Just 85 days into my Sell 100 Albums in 100 Days, we have achieved our goal! Yesterday's sale at Ampwall tipped us over the threshold to 100 album sales (including full discography sales) since release day.

Check out the album that at least 100 people were willing to pay real money for!

So...time for some stretch goals?

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Beyerdynamic wird an chinesische Investoren verkauft 😢

Wer noch keinen dt770 pro hat: Jetzt noch zuschlagen - besser wird's nicht mehr.

Und es schadet vielleicht auch nicht, sich ein paar Ersatzteile auf Lager zu bestellen. Irgendwie kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass die Versorgung mit Ersatzteilen so weitergehen wird...

Soon, you'll be able to buy music on the Fediverse.

Bandwagon, the music-sharing platform built on Emissary, has seen a lot of success over the past few months. The site has grown to a catalogue of over 300 different musicians, spanning a wide range of different sounds and genres. After refining search and discovery features, project lead Ben Pate has decided to focus on introducing a payment system for music sales.

This past week, 99 years ago, Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois.

On November 12, 1989, on 60 Minutes, Harry Reasoner asked him if Black musicians were better at jazz and blues because of slavery. The question could’ve gone sideways.

What Davis said—quietly, precisely—was about rhythm, memory, race, and the meaning of swing. #music #Jazz #Histodons #history #blackmastodon #photography #blackandwhite

LOVED this interview with Frankie Knuckles. The Godfather of House.

He talks about so much - growing up with Luther Vandross, getting into teenage scrapes with Larry Levan - before going on to learn to DJ with him at the Paradise Garage. And the Warehouse of course, getting into production, his later life and feeling like his music didn't have any place.

Honestly, just such a lovely man.

RIP Frankie ❤️

This is Theodosii Spassov, probably one of my top 3 Bulgarian kaval players, with slow melody. It's a great demo of what the Bulgarian kaval can do; big range, kaba, vocal drone/harmonisation, sound effects, various levels of breathiness, ornaments like hlopki, mordents, vibrato. Particularly notable in this one is circular breathing, both for the 2nd kaval drone, which is quite common, but also in the main melody. Virtuosic stuff!

#Flashback

"The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest was the nineteenth edition of the competition. It took place on Saturday, April 6, 1974, in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was won by Sweden, with the song "Waterloo," performed by ABBA".

ABBA's harmonies must have had an influence on my desire to become a musician. The vocal harmonies were magnificent.

At fairs, the huge bass speakers pierced you on this song, and many others with powerful bass lines.

At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden

The three members of KAJ, the band selected to represent Sweden in the 2025 edition of the music contest, hail from a Swedish-speaking minority on Finland's West coast.

In a context of hostility toward this second national language and rivalry with their Scandinavian 'big brother,' this is a notable event in Finland.

This you didn't see on telly.

You did see Erika Vikman's expression but not, what caused it.

Just think about it - you'd be 7 meters high, and all in a sudden there'd be an explosion next to you.

And you would be singing a long note on a tv show watched by 200 millions people.

Gosh, what a professional she is!
