New Tune Out Soon

Well, my trials with Mirlo.space continue. Five attempts to upload my new tune, full name “More Nervous Energy-250819-001” to Mirlo.space with attempts either terminated after 1/2 hour to an hour, or a relatively immediate abort with no file name given. The excuse is that the developers never thought anyone would use anything but a desktop to upload. This in the day-and-age when phones and tablets are almost as powerful as a desktop. The only excuse is that the developers still regard the software to be beta, though it seems more like late alpha software.

I hope to upload the tune to Bandcamp (https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com) tonight, and possibly upload to https://Mirlo.space from either my laptop, if it feels like working, or maybe my raspberry pi.

Promotion

I decided to give a promotion company some business when I had a better month than usual with a decent distribution from Distrokid. I chose Apolone for a one month campaign for one of my songs

I decided to give the one month campaign a try although I never used Apolone before. This is the result of an almost completed campaign.

With this as additional support, of just the featured song:

So, 2,840 listeners in 28 days for a really bizarre sub-genre. Is that good? It’s better than I expected. At least I didn’t have to go through the bother of trying to hunt down playlists and then pitch my song to them. And now I have and idea of which playlists to pitch to in the future.

Another Ghost .io Post

This one’s on Muso.AI, a credits database harvesting app/web site Here’s the link https://all-about-music.ghost.io/muso-ai-a-scam/.

For indie musicians, it doesn’t seem to be a good fit, as IDK what they bring to the table. I mean, if you’ve ever been played by someone trying to cut you out of a musical composition, IDK what Muso.AI is help with a situation like that.

Made a post on Ghost.io

It’s a piece of premium content at https://all-about-music.ghost.io that kinda is a dry review of Spotify’s finances and reasons to direct your fans to other platforms.

It’s my method to see if I can get some subscribers to a slighthly different take on the music business from this blog. And monetize it as my other means of making some bucks are falling on hard times.

Haven’t figured out how Ghost as a blog/newsletter platform works, but I guess it’s a learning experience.

Guitar Explorations

I just dropped a new tune, “Guitar Explorations 250802” on Mirlo.space and am working to put it on Bandcamp. I hooked up a Fender guitar,that’s one of my favorites, to the pedal board shown and then to a Fender Twin Reverb thru the Vibrato section. Recorded on my trusty Zoom H8 and processed on my iPhone using the AUM app.

Anyway, the tune, should you be interested in listening to it, is to be found at https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases and https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com
