Yesterday's gig was a blast. I hadn't played on stage for about nine years, and only after I finished did I realize that it was actually my debut as Sitka.
I recorded my set, so I'll upload it a little later
This track was inspired by both Guy Called Gerald's "Blame The Artist" and Yazoo's "I Before E Except After C". Two tracks which always spoke to me as experimental sounds that actually made it onto fairly mainstream(able) releases. Seminal vpop ocal cut ups.
It's easy to make experiments when you are laboring in obscurity, but when you are feeding some pop audience, however niche, it felt particularly brave of them to me to release those tracks.
Setting up a new PC which involves endless install and config of musical s/w ... took a moment to make a small interlude to test things out. Finish later or scrap heap? hmmm 🤔
Another day at the office . . . I realize I don't look so cool when I'm reading a chart and trying to nail the click track . . . There’s stuff going on in my headphones that you can’t hear that made this a little more interesting than usual . . . #musicproduction#mymusic#fedijams#drums#drumming#recording#fedimusic#music
This version is still based on the original MIDI file, but is more of an #Electro beat with a bunch of added live-tweaked stuff, including a fairly restrained TD-3 bassline.
Okay then - who has music they want to promote for tomorrow?
Please reply with a few lines description (so people get a sense if it's for them or not) and a link so we can get some boosting going on. ❤️ #BandcampFriday #MyMusic
I've published it! Here it is! First official Sitka track. There were some jams, lives, and sketches before, but nothing I could call a complete track.
I've never seen a consistent hashtag here used by Fedi musical artists when posting original material / promoting themselves. Is there one i'm missing?
The #music tag gets used for everything including someone just posting a favorite song from YouTube or whatever.
Other art disciplines have their tags that indicate "original poster" here.
Feels useful for discovery. Should be unique, indicate original music, clever and memorable, work fedi wide
