First performance of O Canada at the Congrès national des Canadiens-Français. The song would later become the national anthem of Canada #OTD in 1880.

The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Théodore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavallée composed the music, after which words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The original French lyrics were translated to English in 1906. via @Wikipedia

This is such a cool idea.

It's estimated that 100,000 new songs are uploaded to #Spotify every day.

Inevitably, that means loads of really great music never gets heard.

Thanks to Venus Theory, I've just heard about #Forgotify, which points you to songs on Spotify that have no listens, or at least no complete play throughs.

And I've already found some real gems!

Today I discovered this very catchy piece of #music in my Spotify's #DiscoverWeekly playlist 👍🎻🎶
open.spotify.com/track/7jQ9Hrb…


Today's #AudioMo is more of a #Music thing actually, and comes from #Jamulus which is an online realtime jamming tool to allow people in different places to make music with each other. In this instance, Alf, the bass player is a few hundred miles from me also in the UK, Martin (guitar) is in The Netherlands, Phil (other guitarist) is near brighton, Mag (drummer) is in Germany and I'm playing Rhodes in London.
This perspective was captured by Alf.

I tooted Hello World on November 30, 2022.

Then I began tooting my #music and a ton of #puns #jokes, and #memes. And you all responded so genuinely, and with such positivity, that I very quickly was made to feel at home.

My deepest gratitude goes out to the #Mastodon community, a #community that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. It’s unlike any other “social media platform” here.

Today, I celebrate the arbitrary milestone of five thousand followers, and I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for the favourites, the boosts, the follows, and the comments.

Thank you for your conversations, discussions, and corrections.

Thank you for listening to my music and sharing your thoughts on it with me, and for following along on your chosen streaming service. This has been amazing.

But, above all, I’d like to thank you all for making Mastodon the friendly and welcoming place that it is. My experience here is one of wonderful acceptance, and it has been truly humbling. There is nowhere else quite like it.

Massive big huge love to you all,

- Jon (Dgar)


I've been a little shy about posting music recently for reasons that aren't 100% clear to me, so I promised myself that tonight I would record something and post it no matter what. So here we go!

"Shell" - moderately-paced, classical/jazz/ambient, solo acoustic piano

@talon Thank you for bringing my visions to life in the way you do. You're a genius.

It's raining here, and I'm feeling generous. This track has helped lots of people relax, even though it's mellow. But I'm here to show you that there's something beautiful lurking around in there. Inspired by rain, this is a true minimalist track with one motif going 'round and 'round. Enjoy! PS: DM me for a lossless copy if you'd rather listen to that. This goes for the other track I shared as well. #music #minimalist #rain


Looks like it's #music Sunday. This song was inspired by the Chinese folk tale of the weaver girl, as well as the Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival. Since it's collecting dust for years, now it's yours to enjoy.


It's unreal how many soft or felt pianos I have heard, looked at, tried to imitate with other libraries. Nothing, and I really mean nothing, comes close to Ólafur Arnald's felted grand from his Composer's Toolkit. It's a very specific instrument for a very specific genre, absolutely minimalistic and fragile. One day, I'll purchase it. But for now, enjoy a well-made demo track: youtube.com/watch?v=sLIEXsHjfU… #music

this is being sold as "a Japanese flute". seller doesn't know which. at first glance I thought it was a shinobue but... well, look at it.

anyone knows what type of instrument is this? it might not even be Japanese, but it looks too well-built to be a generic souvenir. can a music person tell me what are those four bottom holes in parallel?

*edit*: best current candidate is the xiāo transmom.love/@elilla/11010259…

I often use very short microbreaks during the day to doodle away at some music. Let me show you. This is a snippet from the latest thing I've been chipping away at for a couple days here and there.

Huh, I can just upload music here. Music fans of Mastodon, I've been trying to find the name of this song and who sings it for the last 10-plus years. I found it on a burned CD randomly in High School, and that is all I got.

It would be of great help if you could boost this to try and get it to as many people as possible to hear this song. I'm sure someone out there knows who sings this.

LYRICS (To the best of my abilities)

Why is there war

This is the Reason

Human diseases plague upon ourselves

the more we survived, the more we lay waste

bring up the weak and tell them to fly

Follow my children. You are the saviours

Or just a number that dies in the storm

supposedly special, yet there is nothing

You cannot be done by some younger face

And who are our idols?

What do they teach?

Reflection upon us

We hate ourselves

Reality is lost

Higher than God

But you are our god, so who is the answer

Question your beliefs

You've been buried in oblivion

Live for today

Consequences tomorrow

Bloody for attention

Soil the floor

Not looking for the answer, just looking to ignore

How bleak is your weakness

[Can't understand the next few lines]

True power is money

Capitalist coin

Now we're back to the reason.

This question isn't solved.

So I drink to your health.

I smoke to your memories.

I shoot for the stars.

I dream of being heard

I entered your lies time and time again.

[Can't understand the rest]
