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!

I was just doing some improvising on #fujara, so figured why not share some of its wonderful #music. And yes, there's a distinct possibility one of these great #flutes, the national #instrument of #Slovakia 🇸🇰 is taller than you. They are often between 180-200cm (from just under 6ft to 6ft 6), though there are smaller models too. The smallest I've come across was a travel model in F and about a metre long (around 3ft 3), which is still longer than most flutes. Funny though. It's a shepherd #flute, sometimes played while walking up to the mountain pastures, so size didn't seem to be an issue before.
The fujara only has 3 finger holes, yet because of using various levels of overblowing, they have a range of over 3 octaves, though the middle 2 are the most useful musically-speaking. Due to using more overblowing, it’s often referred to as a bass overtone flute. I don't agree with this classification, because in that case most flutes will be overtone flutes too.

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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLIEXsHjfUA #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 https://transmom.love/@elilla/110102590066419730

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.
