Public holiday here today and the first proper ride out for the year. Hit the mountains and fun was had.
Also, bass was played, music was made, and words were written.

I now have a nice cold APA and think that this is the sort of day there should be more of.

#introduction

Hello :) I am a disabled artist in Seattle, Washington. I am sharing my photography on Pixelfed.social and it seems like having an actual Mastodon account would be helpful as well.

I like technology, linux, art, photography, music, meeting nice people, animals, and nature especially.

I am friendly and follow back if you'd like to connect.

I have lots of thoughts about this piece of music.

The Last Echoes doesn't have space for a lot of music. Episodes are 10ish minutes long, and scoring them didn't feel right, but this one song serves as opening and closing, and... it's been sitting in my head for even longer than the show has.

Loneliness in the huge emptiness of space, maintaining your pattern without anything solid around you, room to grow and be and change.

This week's #SundaySong is a spooky little piece by Cracker, "Dr. Bernice." I don't know why, I just love singing this one.

I recorded the vocals and #uke live, then added #KalaUBass and a little synthesizer B3 in #AbletonLive.

I'm about to put all this text into actual toots, for easier reading so please be patient and/or mute as needed. <3

I don't know why I didn't do it that way to begin with. But I found this image in an artist Discord discussion that someone else posted, so that's why the image is not big or high-quality, and also I don't want to take credit for someone else's words (unlike AI). 😉

#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic

This post says it better than I can. Sorry, I can't fit all the text into the Alt Text box, so I will also try to break it up into a series of toots. Thanks for your patience, or just mute me if this is not Your Thang.

The argument that "humans also reference/train on others' art in order to make their own, AI just does it faster and more efficiently" is not accurate, since AI is NOT processing that art and filtering it through its own subjective framework (the soul as defined above) to create a new work to express that individual's particular ideas and emotions.

AI has no framework to know if what it's creating is GOOD, or even accurate, b/c it has no preferences regarding taste or accuracy--which are so subjective when it comes to creativity.

#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic

Can AI make aesthetically-pleasing shit? Of course! Based on the output of thousands of human artists over hundreds of years.

But when you ask it to make something entirely new, even based on very specific directions, or even just the random roulette of gibberish commands, it STILL has to rely on and copy human artists.

#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic

By "soul" I mean your mind, will, emotions, experiences, taste, and preferences--everything that makes you who you are.

Also, making good art and recognizing good art requires having good taste, and I'm not sure that's something you can teach to AI.

#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic

Creating art is taking a little piece of your soul and putting it into a tangible form that others can experience, which is why AI-generated art misses the point.

How about an #intro for this #FollowFriday? I'm an independent #musician based in Denver, Colorado. I make weird, psychedelic instrumental electronic music. I like to talk about that music, your music, or really, any kind of music at all -- I'm a retired music/arts journalist. I also will post (more often repost) stuff about politics (leftist) from time to time. You might also see some posts about art, photography, writing or history. Or science fiction, fantasy and weird fiction!

If you're the kind of person who can feel stuck when facing mistakes and criticism, I wrote this song for you. It's called "Better Self." I sang this new one into my phone's "voice memos" app. You can get this exclusive recording by signing up for my email below. You'll also get a PDF of the lyrics.

Singing takes of this song, and I can't decide if the line should be "Grab a to-go coffee," or "Grab a cup of coffee," (I've been singing both) so ofc on at least one take I get tongue-tangled and sing "Grab a fuckin' coffee" 😂

I'm releasing a new album on June 14th called Floorboard. It's 9 of my most vulnerable songs to date, recorded with little more than an acoustic guitar, a keyboard, and a delay pedal. Two of the songs were already released as part of The Butcher EP, along with an exclusive cover of How to Dress as Human by Laura Les.

Hi, I'm a professional violinist who plays soundtracks :sylveon_squish:

Ok, #Introduction over. I'm a musician, not a wordsmith :growlithe_derp:
... ... ...
I'm being gently informed by my responsible half that I'm to write a *proper* intro, as she puts it...
... ... ...

<wall-o'-text>
Hi Fedi/Mastodon, I'm Octavia, a 30ish Japanese and USian violinist (and composer) whose mother introduced her to the violin at age 5 and Super Mario Brothers at age 3. This would go on to have profound consequences, chief amongst which was that the majority of the activities I enjoy involve fingertip dexterity. The secondary effect was that I would go on to use the classical training I received throughout my childhood to, for the most part, play soundtracks while letting my classical repertoire languish :blobhaj_peek:

Nintendo classics like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, and Smash, JRPG classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy (IX and X specifically), movie soundtracks including a bunch of Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki Hayao works, Disney, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribbean, and Master & Commander (which is just my excuse to play the Bach Cello Suite no. 1: Prelude :leafeon_giggle: ), and a few anime pieces here and there (along with at least one My Little Pony theme :blobhaj_jam: ) are the bulk of what I play when I perform solo. I do play classical pieces here and there, but they mostly tend to be various movements from the Bach Cello Suites, along with a smattering of Celtic music, though I try to mix everything together in my sets, leaving people guessing as to what's a soundtrack and what's not :blobhaj_peek:

I perform at various conventions in the Pacific Northwest of the US (formerly in Brook and Link cosplays), whether inside or outside, and also perform as part of Troupe Seven Stars at faires in the area over the summer months while filling the rest of my time playing solo or ensemble shows, mostly near Portland. About half of Saturdays are spent performing at Fleur de Lis Bakery & Cafe in the Hollywood district.

I tend to spend my free time dissociating in the shower, overcoming whatever ADHD lobs my way, and running out the door like an alternate-universe fusion of Bilbo Baggins and the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland (though, to my astonishment, I've only been late to 2 gigs in my life that I remember). What crumbs of time are spared from those tend to be spent on gaming, reading manga/watching anime, listening to and sharing music (yes, mostly soundtracks), and enjoying what the internet has to offer.

Aside from needing to hop instances, I've found my time on the Fedi to be enjoyable, and I hope to keep meeting interesting, genuine people and sharing time and conversations together :espeon_love: </wall-o'-text>

"People are going to steal music so we might as well make it easier for them to do that. It's a selling point." - #Mastodon CEO. This is not very artist-friendly.

I found out today that audio uploads have a download button that cannot be disabled, and after a google search, found that the reason for it is what the message in the screenshot says - people will steal music, so why not make it easier for them.

Having a download button gives the perception of it being free/given away, whereas NOT having a download button doesn't implicitly diminish the value of what is being shared, which is important if musicians are trying to make sales to try to make a living. We don't all just give our music away because *some* people are bad actors and steal it. That makes no sense.

It really is a shame because the built in audio player is really well-designed and would make sharing music here easier. Until then, I'll have to use a competitor's site anyway to share music.

My brain: Overwhelmed, hardly started in on getting my summer events into my schedule, want to just lay down and sleeeeep :bulbasaur_confused:​ (as an escapism thing)

My fingers: Look, we get it, just lend us 10% of the total brain power you have available right now and we'll bang out a 2-hour set. We don't even have to be well-rested :axolotl_wave:​

Being a musician, folks. It's not glamorous, but at least we have fingers we can rely on.

I'm proud to announce my new album - 'over mountains, under stars'. Track one features the spoken word #poetry of @WildTypeWriter - her voice and sage #climate message unifies the music and I thank her for her vital contribution! Composed of 4 tracks, this #synth #electronic #ambientmusic album is inspired by these themes: the climate emergency, escapism, science, noise and serenity, the vastness of the #universe and our search for meaning. All music can be freely downloaded should you so desire.
I rarely ask for this but Boosts are welcome for visibility! I'm certainly proud of this release. And if any of you are also on #bandcamp, lets connect please. #music #musician #ambient Please find it here:

So. Solutions wanted.

#band #musician

#introduction for new #followers

I'm a #writer, #musician, #techie, and #metalhead.

I play (poorly) #viola, #bassguitar, and #piano.

My current #WIP is SPIRAL ARCHITECT, serialized on my website.

My #fiction is available under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 at https://starbreaker.org/fiction/

I'm not a cishet neurotypical WASP, but I've a lifetime of experience in faking it.

I like #UNIX and #Emacs, but my preferences are not prescriptions.

I block bigots, spammers, and trolls on sight. #MyFeedMyRules

If I had to write my #Intro all over again, it might read like this:

· I am a musician (but most people don’t really care).
· I am a COVID-cautious, COVID-conscious person (but most people don’t really care).
· I am scared what climate catastrophe will do to this planet (but most people don’t really care).

So yeah, that makes me pretty lonely.

Theoretically, I am glad that on social media, at least *some* people *do* care.

But social media is so fleeting, and being found and read is such a game of chance that is doesn’t really amount to much. Also, social media is driven by too much input and mostly way too superficial to really have a lasting impact.

I am still grateful for the four to seven people who react, reply, and support what I am doing. But seeing that it’s four to seven out of seven hundred isn’t all too encouraging.

🙏 to the four to seven, anyway.
