#Fedimusicians Super new to the fediverse but super excited. I have a project that I worked on on the other internet. It has always been under an alias, but breathing the fresh air here made me wonder if I should carry it into the fediverse under my actual name rather than sticking with the alias. Are both equally accepted around here? Also would it be considered ok to reupload all old content here (YouTube > peertube). I’m still not sure if I will 1) keep uploading to YouTube, 2) leave old content on YouTube alone and only upload new content to peertube or 3) take all content down from YouTube and switch entirely to peertube.

I suppose there are no right or wrong necessarily, but would really appreciate hearing people’s thoughts on all this, especially first hand’s experience from people that made the transition themselves.

Welcome to the submission thread for the May edition of #FairtradeMusicFriday.

As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist - it doesn't even need to be new.

Well worth listening to this gig. I caught it live - really enjoyed the mix of lovely synths, tunes, spoken word samples, nostalgic video footage, and background chat about the tracks. #fedimusicians

🧵5/x Today it's the 8th anniversary of Inefficient Screw's #Primer – an album about new beginnings and the feeling that a perfectly white flat leaves on you when you move out.

We recorded this lofi-pop gem many years ago in the cellar of an an old kindergarten. I played #drums and #keyboards on this record, and it is still in my personal heavy rotation.

🧵3/x And now something completely different from my personal music history:

BEEAH's very first release 'MMIV' is a playful conglomerate of #FakeJazz #Krautrock and #Experimental music. We loved to put eight different parts in one song and it often magically worked out. It was also the beginning of a long-lasting friendship with Jürgen whom I still collaborate with today.

Released 26.03.2004 (22 years ago today)

🧵2/x Next up is Boulette Deluxe 'Funk Food' – a #Berlin based seven-piece jam band cooking #funky grooves with German #freestyle lyrics, all improvised on the spot. This album is compiled like a little radio show, with all kinds of hidden sidekicks and even an interactive dial-in show:

One more music recommendation for Today's #bandcampfriday :

If you are in heavy weighting electronic somewhat clubby music then there is a #FediArtist among us #fedimusicians that most of you don't seem to know, and that's a bit of a shame because his music rules, and on top of it, it's often #creativecommons licensed.

So my #musicrecommendations and shouts go out to...

@sixumbrellas aka Six Umbrellas.
