I have a playlist on Soundcloud of my own original rock music and I’d love for you to check it out, preferably on some good speakers, up loud. I’m really proud of this, and would love to hear what you think.
If you have “I like music” in your profile, you must listen. It’s the law!! 🫶
Hello Mastodon! My name is Alex and I'm new to your beautiful platform :)
I'm a violinist currently based in Prague, I hope you will enjoy an original song as a little #introduction
I'm still trying to get how things work here, so far I'm managing with the help of @aural, who kindly brought me here and has been very patient 😁
See you around! https://youtu.be/ac5MvX_V1DY
I used to work with this cool lady and she would always take an interest in my songwriting. Every Monday, she’d ask how the weekend jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. The weird thing was, anytime I had something uploaded for her to listen to, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music” which is fair enough, but it always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making.
One day, I decided to write her a song that she’d enjoy.
Spotify and Apple Music were playing at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.
I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home on borrowed equipment. A mate I regularly jammed with did the vocals for me and when it was done, I uploaded it to my SoundCloud and gave her the link when I got to work.
She liked it.
The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. Even though the recording is rough, the focus on writing a song for one person with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, I think gave me a different perspective than when I was either writing purely for my own enjoyment, or simply going with some random song idea.
I am new here and I write mostly in german, but you can follow me as well when u speak english. Certainly I feel little bit lonely so I hope I find few cool people.
Two years ago today, Space Pop was released into the wild. The accompanying music video would come some months later. Still one of my most fun songs, it has no mention of butts, guns, or anacondas.
Hey, prog fan(s). Did you know that the rocks on the LP covers of Topographic Oceans and Relayer by Yes join up?
I've owned the albums for 40+ years and never noticed that before. I only spotted it by accident. #progrock#vinyl#graphicdesign#rock#illustration
If you feel like your #Mastodon interactions have dried lately and are looking for new interactions, I'd be happy to oblige if you like posting about any of -
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!
If anyone is planning anything for Weed Day this Saturday, 20th April (4/20), and you’re looking for something to put on your Weed Day song playlist, I have something that may just fit the bill.
Gettin Stoned (feat. Andre Louis) will be coming out this Friday on Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, and all the other streamy places, just in time for you to add it to your Saturday playlist. Be sure to give @Onj a follow!! He did an awesome job on the drums for this track and is a general, all-round legend!
As all #Dgarheads know, the original, full-quality wav file for every #DgarMusic track is available for download from their respective Soundcloud page, which you can then convert to your favourite format and play it on any device you choose.
Want to listen to it now? Okay then! Here it is on #Soundcloud!
