Hi, all!
Feel free to do a quick introduction if you’ve joined this instance, or if you’re from another instance but interested in the communities here.
I’ll go first: I’m Beto, originally from Brazil but living in California. I started writing songs when I was 14 years old, and always loved making music.
I have a one-person band called The Fishermen & the Priestess, and I post all my songs (releases and experimental tracks) on a Funkwhale instance (which is another federated project).
My songs are usually ambient/downtempo and very hopeful. I love using cassette tapes, tape loops, and 4-track recorders, and I’m planning to release my next album on microcassettes.
That’s good to know. Seems required for Distrokid but not CDBaby. Have you used BeatStars at all?
I didn’t need it for Distrokid, I just thought it would be cool to be able to assign the numbers to my songs at will. 😝 I haven’t heard of BeatStars, it looks interesting!
Hahahah…that is pretty rad. I looked through some of the guides and saw you’re limited to 100,000 a year. Hope that’s enough :D.
I suppose if someone was just cranking out generative tunes that wouldn’t be too hard.
Ha, for sure, my record is 100 songs in a year, so I have plenty of numbers to spare. 😝
