I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.
What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?
Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I’m willing to learn.
Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)
im just posting on my personal instance at thejoyo.com
there’s a popular electronic producer that had their shit stolen by Apple back when iTunes was a thing and they published their music for torrenting and found some support from that.
the flashbulb
I fucking love the flashbulb. Way underrated. Been my favorite artist for almost 20 years now.
yah, i only recently got into synths and watched some of benn Jordan’s yt videos and when he mentioned his music my jaw dropped. ive been listening to them for decades as the flashbub.
He released some glitch/acid jazz stuff under the name acidwolf thats pretty good too, but not as good imo. The range of his flashbulb stuff is just incredible though, and i dont think hes ever made a song i dont like
What is your instance running? I can see that it’s federated but I don’t recognise it. Thanks :)
goto social, it implements a mastodon api but is a lot more light weight and focused on smaller user base.
i switched to it right around the pleroma akkoma split and it’s been great since. tho now i have that annoying trusted proxy message that i thought i fixed but caddy wont fwd.
