Tune Out
I was finally able to upload “More Nervous Energy-250819-001” to https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases, but was unsuccessful again uploading to Bandcamp.
Bandcamp’s lack of uploading via their artist app is a major puzzle and the upload feature on their website seems so 2000s design. It’s painful to use.
Time to try and figure out how I’m going to get the music to Bandcamp, though both Bandcamp and Mirlo have been busts in terms of sales. As in none, zippo, zilch.
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.
Tune
Here it is August 16 and I had a snippet of a tune playing in my head, I suppose it’s time to do something about it. Try to work out some of the particulars. I have a sequencer part worked out and now I have to figure out what to do with the rest.
A Couple of Art Pieces
Here’s a couple of art pieces I’ve done over the past few months.
And this:
Yeah, it’s abstract art with no real discernable influences. I suppose you might think the first picture has Piet Mondrian influences, but it’s much like stuff I was doing when I was 10-12 years old, like this
Yeah, that picture is more than 60 years old.
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.
Garbage Picking, Part 5
Well, I seemed to have fried the outputs from the Clavinova. Nothing but a low hum eminates from the 2 sets of outputs I’ve tried. Bummer.
Mirlo.space
Finally got the whole EP loaded to Mirlo.space the link is https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases to my whole catalog there. The new release is called “Noise Revisited”. Preview the songs or buy outright, whichever you like.
A Note
I’ve started another blog at https://all-about-music.ghost.io to cover slightly different topics than I cover here. I’ll also be posting more frequently there. Like this WordPress blog there’s no subscription fee to read most posts, though I’m hoping if you find the content useful that you’ll opt for one of the paying tiers.
The one big difference is that when you subscribe, either here or on all about music, you get emailed to you a copy of all posts, so you may not want more cruft in your mailbox.
