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.

    Welcome, eldoom!

    Kalimbas are super cool and underrated… have you ever seen the Colour Palette? I’ve been wanting to do some kind of DIY version of that, it’s a cool concept.
