Feature Your NHAM Releases on TIBtv Promo Videos!

By @limebar

The Indie Beat Television (TIBtv) is planning to do weekly short promo videos featuring NHAM new releases!

If your release was featured in the NHAM Releases section and you would like us to include it in our regular promo video, then use the form below to upload an MP3 file of your track.

The promo video:

– plays the first 10s of your music
– displays the embedded cover art
– displays the artist name, track title, and album name

So be sure to properly tag your files before uploading them!

You can choose which snippet viewers will hear by editing your MP3 to include your desired section in the first 10 seconds.

An onscreen QR code will link to the NHAM Releases page. 

Here is a video sample showing how it might look:

And of course, if you’d like to submit full-fledged videos of your own, you can still do so before the launch scheduled for December 28th (and afterwards too)!

From the Radio Free Fedi archive it's the second @nham Mixtape by @ethicalrevolution

Festive Songs Reviewed

Review by @ashnoodle

As we enter the festive period let me share a few tracks and EPs from the Fediverse I’ve got on my Christmas playlist. They include pieces that happily embrace the spirit of the season, to others that have a bit more of a leftfield, darker take on it.

Roberta Fidora (@RobertaFidora) recently released Christmas Trees, which is an original, catchy, danceable, synthpop, electroclash poke at the capitalism and stress of Christmas. “…shove them up your pa rum pum pum pum” sums up the mood in this dark humoured song, which despite (or because of) its attitude is a track that makes me smile.

Futzle’s (@futzle) Weeping Melaleuca is a lovely mellow piano and voice based song (with guitar and strings making an appearance later on). It reminds me of classic 1970s singer songwriters. Such a gentle beautiful tune. Pass me a double snowball with ice please, as I chill out.

Lorenzo Miniero (@lminiero) released A Very Metal Axemas in 2024. This EP of 7 songs uses classic Christmas songs as a starting point and gives them a darker, metal doomed interpretation with twisted titles such as Frosty the Slowdeath, Carol of the Hells, and Ghast Christmas. I imagine everyone’s favourite dark yuletide spirit, Krampus, is on board with this.

And finally, Sarah Wallin Huff’s (@sjwallin) Christmas Wayfarer, is an orchestral composition which again adapts traditional Christmas carols (I Saw Three Ships, O Come All Ye Faithful, Coventry Carol, O Holy Night, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing) to build this beautiful, flowing piece of dramatic classical music.

Hey! #demoscene people... is there any interest by demo coders to submit videos for our animation array slot on #TheIndieBeatTelevision??

If you know anyone in the scene please ask them to check out:

As a viewer, I am definitely interested in watching and listening: demoscene has always been as much about the #chiptune music for me as well as the #graphics.

Who knows, if there is enough interest and material, maybe we could have an expanded time slot.
