#AppleMusic stat from my personal account:
'September 16, 2025
Eventually hit 500 all-time plays.'

Just to show how hard it is for a no-name artist to get streams, that's a track from my first ever album released back in wait for it... 2009.

I'm not bitching, honestly I'm not. It's all good. I'm just pointing out that music isn't like modern social media, it's hard to be noticed unless you really are a very big somebody.
It took that track, which is just one of 19, 16 years to get to that point.
I have a small following, so imagine people that sink their life's work into making music, posted it when I did and barely break 10 plays? This does happen.

today, I pass on some of my own music to take your mind off of all the ridiculousness in the world.
Instrumental, so no reason to pay full attention to it, but maybe while you sit and read a good book, relax on the sofa or whatever else you can think of.
I released this album a couple of years ago and you can stream it anywhere you normally stream music.

For my latest release entitled 'a Moment of Solitude', I decided to build down towards a state of calm. Starting out with up-beat grooves and rhythmic elements, by the last few tracks it's relaxed, drum-free and hopefully puts you in a place of contemplation and thoughtfulness.

Been using Spotify since 2006, but now that I have been using Apple Music for a couple of months I think there is no going back. What I love in Pandora and Apple Music is that I can just play my own Station that plays songs endlessly. Most of the time I don't know what to listen, I like to shuffle everything I might like without much thought.

Spotify concentrates on playlists and as a hard core music fanatic those playlists get easily worn out.

Apple Music and Pandora focus on finding new music and shuffling without limits. In Spotify you always have to have Playlist.

Been using various platforms and been trying out different ways to listen my whole life and thankfully all of these listens are combined to one profile at last.fm/user/rolle- - from @lastfm I can always find my songs.
