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.

    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. 😝
