Time for the weekly digest thread for my #OPM series! (This is for you folk that don't like clicking off Mastodon, tho I assure you my site is advertising and tracking free!).
It's #Fedivision Friday, and to help the participating musicians along I've dedicated this week's #OPM write-ups to covering some of the entries. I couldn't do all 72 (!) but I did do all 16 of my mutuals' entries! Read them here:
And revel in the wild variety of music of the Fediverse. From doomy cyberpunk techno to giallo-inspired twee psychedelia, this is a deep class, with lots of intriguing music to discover. Dive in, and enjoy!
I'm going to try to write up all the #fedivision entries by my mutuals for this week's #OPM, so if You're a mutual and put in an entry, please LMK so I can be sure to include yours.
I'll probably be able to find most of them on my own but I'm likely to miss at least a a few unless you tell me specifically to look for yours...
(Also, if you don't want to be written about you can let me know that too.)

You ready to hear about some #OPM (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.
An intriguing idea – using old recordings and a Novation Circuit to create an EP - fuels Mental Clutter. The two available tracks show that the idea might be limited but the possibilities sure aren’t. “Wake Up Pollinators” chops up a guitar into a loopy, delirious lofi workout, while “and “A Simple Celebration” is a bright, chipper synth track that channels “Baba O’Riley.”
Moody instrumental electronica steeped in interesting timbres is the order of the day. “Monument” open on a buzzy drone like bees and guitar had a baby before blooming into a pleasant mix of slow, muted breaks, moody synth and understated melody. “Differential” features a sinuous synth melody all thru the track. “Around the Next” slips into #synthwave, like John Carpenter tuned to modern sensibilities.
