A couple of people have asked, since my recent instance change, about what I'm playing - musically speaking. Recently, I've been just messing around for a couple of hours, no more than 3-4 takes, and no previous idea of what I was going to do. Usually on a Sunday morning. As you can imagine it can vary in success widely but I'm also trying to learn how to record myself, get better at playing, everything really ... Here is a recent one.
Quick introduction now that I've moved to Mastodon Music.
Swiss-based musician - bass, guitar, key, vocals of varying competencies. Played in Sydney in the 80s, Brisbane in the 90s, Myspace in the 00s + a rogue folk-acoustic set somewhere in there, nothing at all in the 10s!, and now active again. Several solo, collaborative and band activities locally and in Australia.
Also trying to recover all my old friends after the unexpected move, so boosts appreciated.
Here’s a handy #Dgarheads guide to help you choose your special track!
Looking for a good pub rock song with rip-your-face-off guitars and sing-along chorus? Try the heavy-rock sounds of “Proud Woman”. https://songwhip.com/dgar/proud-woman
Maybe you’re in the mood for a good soppy love song? I’ve got you covered… in pure sop. Just me and a clean Fender Stratocaster with “Cilla” https://soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/cilla
Rebellious grunge? There’s “Flat World” which has nothing to do with Flat Earth, in case anyone was thinking that. https://songwhip.com/dgar/flat-world
Alright, I’m running out of songs here… surely I can find something for you… umm. The space-rock song that fails to answer that age old question of ‘what she said’ - “Airlock” https://songwhip.com/dgar/airlock2024
Well, there is one more. If you like punk rock songs about zombies, that is, but you’ll need to wait for Fedivision 2024 to start before you can listen to “All Zombies Go To Heaven”.
And if you didn’t like anything here, make sure you check out all the other #Fedivision contestants with their massive range of genres and styles of music. Check the hashtag for the latest #Fedivision2024 updates!
Look here, it's #NewMusic for you! Every week I cover 5+ new acts, listen to ~15 min worth of stuff, then tell you all about it so you can check out the ones that seem intriguing. This week we had a couple different flavors of #ambient and New Age, some #neoclassical (that also works as ambient 😅 ) and a really distinctive #rock track. Check them out!
It's a good way to prep for the next #BandcampFriday, or just meet some of your musical neighbors. Read it here (and be sure to actually listen to some/all of the list!):
Got some pretty interesting submissions this week for #OPM! It'll go live on the blog tomorrow AM and I'll have a thread with a digest version here later in the day.

Here in Australia, as you probably know, it’s the future. So it’s Weed Day, 20th April, 4/20 already here. :420: :420leaf:
#Dgar has released a new track for those who celebrate, called Gettin Stoned, a collaboration with Andre Louis (@Onj).
Last time I announced a release at midnight like this, there were issues with people not being able to play the song until the release date reached their time zone, which was annoying. This time, I hacked the system and released it a day early, so I feel comfortable that everyone should be able to play it immediately.
I present to you the latest in #DgarMusic!
Great plan #Dgar. Release your new track on the same day that Taylor Swift drops her new album. Brilliant. Oh, and The Wiggles dropped an album too? Great. That’s just great.
If you’re looking for a #FridayNight#playlist with a wide variety of #music from radio smash hits to obscure psychedelia, weird and unique music from a heap of #MusiciansOfMastodon, and of course my own #DgarMusic for good measure, try putting on the #DgarRadio playlist on shuffle and turn it up! 🎵 🔊
I decided to post an introduction, let's say, once per month with the objective of reaching as many people as possible who might be interested in what I do 🙃
My name is Luca, I'm a drummer and IT professional from Italy, currently based in the Czech Republic.
