My 2nd full-length album ‘Epitome’ drops today! @therustmusic is doing a limited vinyl run as well, peep the link in bio asap to pre-order if interested as these will sell out. Featuring collabs with: GUNK, DREWIDD, @pheel518 and @ZONEdrum Artwork: Silas Goewey Enjoy 😊

Producers—who out there is using Bitwig these days?

been feeling this lately. also doesn't help that algorithms feed off negativity so the content that ultimately wins is full of bad energy, leaving posts about actual art get buried into oblivion underneath a sea of rage bait and braindead takes. im over it

Lead investor of Suno confirming that people who use Suno stop listening to all music that they don't create themselves on-app. Commercial genAI creates cultural isolation, sold to consumers as "personalization."

@killthenoise Nevertheless, a relatable take lol

does that make me pretentious and maybe a dickhead - possibly yes

something ive noticed at more than one bass show - someone will yell on the mic "y'all like that weird shit" and they play very normal sounding wook dubstep.. i guess weird to me is hearing someone like eprom not say a word and play literally the weirdest thing I've ever heard

Here’s a fun ‘live’ reinterpretation of my recent single with @ZONEdrum ‘Distant Shores’, featuring the man himself holding it down on the kit. If you dig the track, you can find it on my most recent album ‘Epitome’, available now! Wishing everyone a happy healthy new year

@chef_boyarbeatz its amazing. hearing the hate to me is just another reminder of how low attention spans are across the board these days. character development is good, actually. slow burn storytelling is good, actually. same shit happened with breaking bad. e7 was my fav so far!

these episode ratings genuinely depressing lol it’s so much better than this

Last Bandcamp Friday of the year! Most if not my whole catalog available on Bandcamp, including my most recent LP 'Epitome'. If you're interested, today is a great day to cop any of my releases on this platform. smigonaut.bandcamp.com

@jasminericegirl peee-ew

I grew up singing. I sang everywhere I went, I wrote songs in my diary, I told teachers that I wanted to be a singer & songwriter when I grew up. But wanting to be a musician in 2006 required resources that a low-income family didn't have. My parents couldn't afford to get me any instruments. They couldn't pay for music lessons. They couldn't get me into studios. A dream I had became just a memory, until now. I am beyond proud and honored to get to work at a company that is enabling music creation for everyone. For the 13 year old kid in their bedroom who dreams of being a musician, you can be one. For all of the professional artists, you can do more of what you love. I really wish Suno existed 20 years ago when I was a kid in elementary school, showing strangers songs I wrote with no way to produce them. But I'm really, really happy that it exists today, for all of the other kids who might need it. We are still just getting started :)

context aside, i assure you all you gen-AI music stans, this is what your tunes sound like

@audiogoblin hahahahahaha

@soundslikesaka yeah wheres the lie haha

Lol ppl are mad at this but tbh this take is Extremely valid

@reslangmusic lmao

This just convinced me to finally make the switch to Bitwig ❤️

@Cloudchord but ya id imagine the leaders of the other companies are no saints either. i say regardless, you gotta start somewhere! spotify is the industry standard and i think because of that any boycotts (particularly from larger artists) have a more firm impact

@Cloudchord theyre all pretty bad at the end of the day. I think people are extra pissed at Spotify tho bc there ex-CEO (i believe he's stepped down) is an evil POS who has invested billions into AI military tech, among other obnoxiously immoral things

Musicians and Music Fans: if you're gonna boycott Spotify, I implore you to looking into the royalty rates and censorship evils of Youtube, aka Google. The more you know 🌈

@noertheboy cease and desist 'for the culture' lol. thats a bummer, glad i was able to grab it while i could tho its a heater

Welp got a cease and desist from Deep Medi and had to take my Topper Top bootleg off the internet. Very fun!

the best dj sets ive played have been alone in my apt while practicing for a set. funny how that works. anyway, this is almost certainly my final set of the year, and its gonna fuckin slap. if you're in the area, go, and come early plz. 11/1 St Louis

@RAVENSCOON Los Angeles called

atlanta is such an incredibly poorly designed city instead of having any sort of viable public transport they instead make you drive 20min to go 2.5 miles

@LostInFilm Get busy livin, or get busy dyin. You're goddamn right

What scene or line from a movie never fails to put a smile on your face?

@alyxiiis @gum_mp3 by nobody, you mean you?

@gum_mp3 That’s wack nobody uses bandcamp

moving my shit off soundcloud in a few days so if you like something you're gonna have to buy it on bandcamp

Oi people of Twitter. My engagement on here is trash lately, but nevertheless worth mentioning I dropped a mix on Soundcloud yesterday--my live set from this past month at Sylvan Sounds. Lincoln Bio. Enjoy!
