Dear creative people of the fedi 😊🎨🎹❤️

I am thrilled to announce that my 3rd album is now not available online.

Yep, you read that right, you can't download it, you can't stream it, you can't buy it, and AI bros can't harvest it.

It is only available in exchange for something creative that you have created yourself.

More info and how it works:

Boosts are hugely appreciated. 🥰

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch!

Graffitis machen graue Wände lebendig
Ich wünschte, ich könnt das auch
Und wie ich überleg, was ich denn wirklich kann
Seh ich, dass ich zu nichts taug

Kling klang, ich denke jetzt dran...

(Keimzeit.. nichts als wie weg, so weit wie moeglich..)

[andijah@brotkru.me]

@stephan super!

[petros@literatur.social]

@stephan Ich auch. Ich bin um eins gegangen, dachte, es wäre Schluss, sie haben dann noch eine Runde gespielt, hab ich mir von Freund:innen sagen lassen.

[harald@hub.volse.no]

@Schall und Stille This is probably the best initiative I've seen since the underground tape-trading days. You'll be getting something in the mail :)

@stephan
Have you considered sharing some of the music that you create on Loops (the Fediverse-based TikTok alternative)? I am a musician too, play flute, and am active there uploading my short video recordings.
(My German is a bit rusty, but I listened to the music in the video, and it sounds quite good, congrats!)

[draco@sonomu.club]

@stephan now my brain is whirring with ideas for something handcrafted that I could make for you.

Ironically, one of my ideas involves simple generative art (code written entirely by me, because I like understanding what I do) as one step towards a physical work.

@stephan
Love the idea 👍

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@stephan No worries, refreshing my German is not bad either ;-) . Here is the page for Loops, you can see if it is a good fit for you: https://loops.video/

@draco
Same! Easiest thing would be giving him some of my music, but that doesn't feel "right". I have an idea thou: Years ago I had a student worker in our IT department and she came from India to study here in germany. My wife and I invited her one year to a new years party and at that she shared one of her familys recipes with us including her familys "curry" spice mix.

I think that, nicely hand-written on a piece of paper, maybe mixed with a few memories from that evenings cooking session, would be something I feel is "worthy".

@stephan@sonomu.club I knew you would arrange this carefully, but I didn't expect this much.
If you ask me, no matter how it goes from now, this project is a win from the beginning.

(I already have the payment, but this deserves a better looking display of it :) )

[herrthees@wue.social]

@stephan Was für eine wundervolle Idee! ❤️

[andijah@brotkru.me]

@Enea90 taking into account that @stephan is already using peertube (and so am I!) I'd he curious to know why one might need loops in addition to this?
Consider it a genuine question.

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@andijah @stephan Nice! I am on PeerTube too, but not for music, but for design tutorials. The apps are different, Loops is more oriented for people that are into short-video format (akin to Tiktok or Instagram Reels), and allows to reach people faster with one's content, and allows for faster connection. The app also has a sense of community. Whereas long-format such as PeerTube can be used for a bit longer videos, that are more worked out, and are meant to be viewed for a longer period of time

[andijah@brotkru.me]

@Enea90 I see. Thanks for elaborating!
I'm not the target audience, I'm afraid. Neither as listener nor as musician. Have never used Insta reels or tiktok so not missing this in the fedi.

@stephan

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@andijah @stephan no worries, all the best!

[sknob@mamot.fr]

@stephan so, I’ve been writing an EP or an album (whereas I’ve mainly released individual songs since forever), and chronicling my progress here. https://mamot.fr/@sknob/115472801832298733

4 songs written, 2 are finished, i.e. recorded.

I’ll send you a USB key if I can find one somewhere decent, or an exclusive link when I’m done with the first (and possibly last) four songs.

Can’t wait to hear your album!

[thejaysunday@mamot.fr]

@stephan hi! I can send you the book I wrote a couple of years ago. It's in french but there's a lot of drawings inside :)

[aesirmachina@mastodon.social]

@stephan this is the way.

[elsemusic@musician.social]

@stephan This I like.
