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.

Boosts appreciated: I'm a #Reaper user, and I think the latest update broke something. Alt + Shift + Left/Right used to move by grid division. In the midi editor, it only moves by beats now, regardless of grid division setting. I heavily depend on the midi editor, so this prevents me from making music entirely. I am using Reaper with #Osara and #NVDA. What's going on here, and how can I fix this? #Blind #Musician #Producer #Music

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

I'm curious, folks. I'm autistic and a (mostly former) musician and songwriter. I just boosted a post that mentioned "autistic music", and now I'm curious what kinds of music my fellow autistic folks tend to listen to. Not necessarily artists, per se (though it's fine to use them as examples) but more the styles/genres you prefer.

I personally like music that (1) isn't overly noisy, using noise in the static sense, e.g. lots of cymbals crashing, damaged or overloaded mics, or background hisses, as opposed to simply auditory business, (2) is *different* in some way -- a trippy melody, a novel tonal structure, a weird time signature, an unusual lyric style, etc. -- and (3) is, importantly, IN TUNE.

Radiohead is my favorite. The Beatles are awesome, too, though they can stray a bit when it comes to the noise criterion. There are also a lot of artists/groups that have just one single song I love dearly, even though I don't like their music in general.

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.

I’m really enjoying listening to Tautumeitas, who represented Latvia at Eurovision. Lovely blended folk harmonies with a pop production makes it great music to work to. Bet they sound incredible in some kind of churchy venue. #music #eurovision

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!

Advice needed.

What's a good beginner student violin that I can get in the UK for a teenager?

She's using a loan violin that has to go back soon.

Sadly price is a consideration so luxury materials and crafting are beyond budget.

I see cheaper looking full size "4/4??" violins online that are 1/4 the price of others.

Are they worth it? Or will they fall apart within weeks?

Are there brands that specialise in student violins?

Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:

Anti-Piracy Advert Music Was Stolen - Ransom Note

One of the biggest cases of hypocrisy was uncovered last year with little more than a whisper. Most of us will remember seeing the “You wouldn’t steal a car” piracy adverts on every dvd we played in the early 00s.

If you ever don't know what to do, just play one of your favorite songs or music that makes you want to get up and dance or just take a walk. If still unsure, at least you'll feel good.

Boosts appreciated. To any #musicians who upload to #YouTube and use hashtags: if you make a #cover, do you include the original artist hashtag? For example, if John Doe posts a song and you make a cover, do you write hashtag JohnDoe, or is that tag only for John? Really not sure here. #Musician #Music #Producer

Help. I am searching for a library allowing to draw chords graphs like those. I'd like it to work similarly to Mermaid or PlantUML, a tool that creates beautiful diagrams from text files. Preferably something that works through command line, accept a text file as input and deliver a PDF or image file.

Boost creates random chords progressions.
