Kikai – 0123

A just-modernized take on classic Berlin School, full of warm synthesizer sweeps, percolating arpeggios, cosmic melodies, and relaxed beats.

Petridisch – Apéritifs

An unpredictable and idiosyncratic experimental electronic outing that covers an impressive amount of territory.

Romeo Rucha – Boom

A brilliant and bewildering blend of Plunderphonics, IDM, and experimental electronica.

Reminder, cause I see a post about them going around, #TheCrowHillCompany is run by notorious transphobe Christian Henson and if you support human rights you sure as fuck shouldn't be using their products, much less shilling for them.

ESPECIALLY today, of all days.

@mattly code is optional, I just need a link really

The latest Other People's Music covers diverse offerings across multiple genres, including a groovy guitar-focused instrumental offering from @ology and lots more!

If you're a musician on Mastodon that wants to see your music covered in a future installment, reach out!

If you're looking for some affordable artwork options without resorting to AI, may I suggest the work of Perplexing Ruins? He's an illustrator that works mostly in fantasy and sci fi who runs a super cheap Patreon that offers illustrations. He mostly intends them for #TTRPG use but I've confirmed with him that using them as album art is totally cool!

His Patreon is here:

And you can see more examples of his work at Bluesky

My 2022 album Tales of Etherspace is still a decent intro to my work. Its 16 tracks cover both my accessible, "musical" side but also my weirder, abrasive "experimental" side --all in tight timeframes (longest track is just 4 min!).

Headphones recommended!

At this point, if you're posting AI images, I'm going to assume you've seen the discourse and you just don't care. I'm not going to warn you or try to correct you, I'm just going to unfollow.

I mean, I'll use context clues and I might give someone a break if it was an accident, or they felt they had a legitimate reason to post the Bad Stuff this one time...

But if you post it in a favorable light, or use it to make your album covers or whatever, I'm out.

Time for an #intro post! If you're a music fan on Mastodon (or elsewhere on the Fedi), please consider giving me a follow. I'm an independent musician who makes weird, psychedelic electronic music with influences from industrial, dub, Musique Concrete, IDM and dance music (esp. techno and house).

Hello friends! It's time for my annual hosting bill and I am hoping to raise the funds to pay it via those who have found some value in my work this year.

My hosting costs are $155.88 for the year. I'm hoping to raise $200 to cover the entire cost, plus any fees (since I only get $0.75-0.85 on the dollar). A modest amount, I hope! Especially considering I have covered more than 200 artists since April -- less than $1 per!

Here's the link if you'd like to contribute:

@Nickiquote if it's not moldy, it's fine to try it. If it tastes bad/off, throw it out. Otherwise, full speed ahead.

Anyone looking to get a few new ears on their music? I always need more independent musicians to write about!

Here's a summary of how it works:

Please DM me submissions! They get lost in my mentions otherwise.

And if you submitted something to me more than 2 weeks ago AND it's your first submission (i.e. I haven't covered your work previously), please reach out! I think I misplaced a few submissions... 😅

Opus Vivaldi – Antología Siglo XXI

Buckle up, shit’s about to get W E I R D on this adventurous and eclectic album, a veritable audio bazaar of shambolic noise rock jams, MIDIfied jazz freakouts, audio collage, barely recognizable covers and autotuned spoken word.

Going to try to do the long awaited #Arturia #MiniBrute2s stream around 2:30 PST today. Find me at YouTube.com/@etherdiver, our look for the direct link in an hour or so.

Getting set up for my final #Arturia #Pigments stream of 2024. Come find me at YouTube.com/@etherdiver around 2 pm PST for some NYE synth programming and hangout.

I'll do a response to this post with a direct link once it's ready.

I'll be using this sheet and some dice to determine what kinds of sounds I'll be making. Should be fun!
