The official trailer for the "Musk" movie is out. Watched it… and what made me surprisingly uncomfortable was that repeating "Sell you a dream" music theme. Not only did it sound like an a-cappella part of an 80s cliche US soft rock song, it sounded like AI to me. As if the promising movie tries to sabotage itself by using AI generated music?!
Looked it up and... hmmm. This is actually music by David "Talking Heads" Byrne. The music itself is nominated for an Oscar already - what?? It's not even out yet! Mortal humans can't listen to it right now. I know David Byrne is an iconic figure, but can someone get Oscar nominated based only on this "being an iconic figure" fact?
Apparently.
Back to my initial observations: Byrne's voice in the trailer is heavily processed up to a point where it's almost not recognizable anymore. I know I didn't, and I know his voice quite well by having listened to a lot of music by him. But why is this necessary? Does really everything has to be polished so much the polish outshines the art beneath? So much it becomes artificial?
I mean, I only know some seconds, I can't really "judge" the song yet - maybe that ArtIficial atmosphere of the music fits the imagery of the movie perfectly. I really hope so – Byrne might be the perfect guy for the job. Seriously. Then again, when going so far back into 80s/70s art wave territory: Why not Laurie Anderson? Does it always have to be a bro thing?
Anyway, first impression stands: I am irritated.

Yes, but it's different. Elon Musk doesn't want to see you this movie, trying to sue its director. Looks like the 4 hours movie will expose Elon and what he really is.
I did a thing! A music video actually. Accomplishing my new track.
Ich und meine Fedies
In English: "Me 'n my fedies". It's a praise for all the kewl beings in the Fediverse (the "Fedies" :) ). You all make this wonderful place what it is, so therefore this track is for you :) I was thinking about making an English version as well, but I simply cannot affort the time at the moment. Sorry about that, hope you'll like it anyway.
I mean, it's maybe the first German Language #Bonkwave track, or am I wrong? However I cannot rule out that it's in fact #noBonkwave . Not sure here.
Here is the video (Peertube exclusive btw.):
#ownMusic #Bass #Trap #Berlin #fediArtists #musicRecommendations #fediMusicians
I dunno, somehow this doesn't make me happy.
There is another alternative to corporate owned Bandcamp now. Not that Bandcamp is bad or something, but yes, corporate owned. Musicians releasing on Bandcamp depend on decisions by the owner. Rules could be changed by tomorrow.
So that's why we have now at least @mirlo@musician.social and bandwagon.fm . Both born and operating from a free open source community spirit.
Good.
Now there comes - new!…
subvert.fm
They are a CoOp - means community drive by definition. Not bad, sure.
But I'm not too happy anymore. Because WHY?
As a musician I have to make through 4 different complex release processes now:
1. Bandcamp (of course - this is, where people are discovered. Important thing for most musicians)
2. Mirlo
3. Bandwagon
4. subvert
2-4 forcing me through a ridiculous user unfriendly Paypal alternative: Stripe.
Personally I have no idea at least for Mirlo how to setup Stripe in a way, people could pay per Album or per Title. In Bandwagon I didn't even try.
Now Subvert even advertises Stripe as a good feature, as it's not Paypal. But Stripe is US based as well. They have no problem to cut your money flow just for rumors of you being anti fascist (the most human and democratic stance) or someone claims you take money for doing naughty things (also human behavior in the history of mankind).
This happened already.
Good luck contacting their hotline in such a case.
While saying all this I'm well aware: Anything not Paypal should be preferred. But there aren't much alternatives, and the one (one! besides Crypto) we've got isn't necessarily and objectively better.
But the main problem I see:
We devide attention to musicians this way!
Every new service takes away users and supporters from the others.
And music is cluttered all over the place even more. Good luck finding that particular piece of music that could really change your life when it's on Mirlo only.
Even more sad, when someone releases on his:her:their Faircamp only. How to find that when you don't know about the artist in the first place.
Personally I've given up here as a "semi professional consument". I need around 40h to prepare my radio show of 1 hour. I can't check #Mirlo, #Bandwagon, #Subvert, and the #Faircamp scene extra - on top of checking #Bandcamp. A lot of bands, let alone consumers don't even know about Bandcamp! And that is by far the most agreed upon service for indie and underground artists. Then there is also Soundcloud (which I hate) - lots of trap/hip-hop stuff is exclusively there.
If I read here in the Fediverse (my only social network) about new releases, best already embedded in your post - I'll listen.
Don't get me wrong. I really wish for a community driven Bandcamp alternative. But I hate the clutter resulting from so many upcoming players in the field.
Which all can't be avoided - I see that too. Is this whole post worthless then? Maybe. Maybe not. I have no solution. I'm just thinking loud.

WTF, Look Mum No Computer is doing the UK part in ESC!!
That would be the first time in 25 years I am watching #ESC again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XR2RvfZ-68
Surly not his best track by far, but a pop hymn nevertheless. So no real music recommendation by me – but still I totally dig the Gesamtkunstwerk Sam Battle

Btw. , some people ask how long it takes to create one issue of my "Radio Irrtum!" show. All in all over 30 hours, maybe 40. For being one hour on air.
It takes:
- listening (intensely) to like 50 fresh releases (out of around 100 with my Bandcamp filters plus other sources) per month
- selecting about 20 tracks worthy for the show (with noting run time per track and style)
- see how they fit together, reduce again to around 12
- bringing those 12 tracks into the right order (first pop, then hip-hop/beats, then club/bass, then experimental, then punk/handmade, then something calm)
- see what I can buy, see what I can take from my streaming flat rate
- check what's not on Spotify (I use another service), check what's CC
- writing to the artists, trying to get extra Intel directly from them
- doing recherche about the other artists (most I do not know at all)
- writing the manuscript
- check out what I can play in the background
- record live
- trimming the live recording to exactly 57 min, doing crossfading where necessary, cutting bloopers . Audio Levels of the different music tracks are also a challenge. Doing all this while trying to be sensitive regarding the music I unfortunately have to cut because you know... 57 min
- playing out the master, making an EBU R 128 version for the station and an standard MP3 version for my web archive
- listening to this EBU R 128 final mix , sometimes I still find errors at this point, so back to the mixing desk again
- writing some short introduction text for the station and then: upload to the station.
All this using #Audacity (sample editing), #Ardour (mixing), Renoise (Live Jingles /Station IDs), and ffmpeg/lame for file format converting on Arch Linux, Libre Office for manuscript and spreadsheet (track timing/order planning).
That could be it. But then my station does literally nothing to promote my show, so now I go into like 4-6 hours extra time for promotion which is:
Wiring the multilingual teaser for the Fediverse which seriously takes time (what was the fedi handle of that artist again?).
And then creating the SN teaser video for Radio Irrtum! is taking usually like 2 hours of (phun!) work... for those 10s teaser videos :)
And then uploading the show to my archive web server, writing some stuff about it and checking, if the website still works afterwards ;)
Doing all that is work indeed, on top of my day to day job. But it's fun nevertheless! That is what keeps me going since years now... Plus I'm always happy for the positive response I often receive afterwards. Not that I really "need" it, but boy... it feels so nice. Thank you for that!!!
Money wise I do it for free btw, no income plus ;) , more like 20-40 Eur costs for buying music on Bandcamp per show (which is fine).

Did you ever like the groove of a music track, starting to dance to it but then you stumble because the beat seems to reset itself randomly? I've got a bunch of those tracks this time in
RADIO IRRTUM! !!
so happy dance lurching :)

The next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2026/04/11, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time/CET. On Alex Berlin at DAB+ K12D in #Berlin/Brandenburg and worldwide @ https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!
So what's in it?
- #AlternativePop
- #offline Music
- cluttered #Beats
- super #slowBass with DnB elements
- #UKGarage
- #fingerdrumming
- #ByteBeat from #Math formulas
- #microtonal #MathPunk
- #Punk of various flavors (Post~, Garage~)
- #livingroom music from Brazil and Lebanon
On top I will pronounce words wrong at an embarrassing amount, & play stuff that isn't available at #Spotify, which simply shows how much this service sucks.
Besides unusual rhythmic structures there will be examples of microtonal music (explained even!) – if you followed the music news the last weeks you may already know which project will be featured.
Featured are #FediverseMusicians as well, like @ScottHuehnerkrisp@chaos.social or @herrkaschke@mastodon.art .
But a very special one among those #fediartists will be @stephan@sonomu.club.
This is probably your ONLY chance to have a listen to one piece of his offline album "Strategies against Algorithms" if you don't already own it. It will only be played during the aired show, it won't be contained within the archive version! You know: That's what "offline" is all about.
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. Having questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)

I just saw over at "Linux Daw", that JoaCHIP has started porting old Jeskola Buzz Plugins like Arguelle¹'s TB4006 from around 2000 to Linux/#VST (also Windows and Mac, but who cares nowadays? ;) ) and I celebrate any of this!!
https://www.robotplanet.dk/audio_plugins/
¹ Arguelle (Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius in RL) was a positively mad man who like every second day (!) released another weird tracker software, but also some #Buzz Plugins. One of his countless trackers is the technical foundation of #Renoise btw. He died way to soon around 20 years ago in a car accident.

Hi there Music #Tracker folks (#Renoise) especially:
I am quite disappointed by Renoise's ignorance of Clap. There are "Feature Requests" going on since 2021, meanwhile new Renoise versions came out – but this -important- development stays ignored.
When looking for the up to date state of this topic (nothing of course), I've stumbled upon this Tracker:
Ultradaw
https://ultradaw.com/
It supports #Clap plugins. It supports Linux. It looks good.
Did anyone already try it out under Linux? Any experience out there?

- innovative #Bristol #Bass
- dark #EBM Techno
- Glitchy #IDM Beatz from various sources
- #MusiqueConcrete based on recordings of animal #BoneFlutes
- A quieter hefty and large #Punk section will be there
- also #Trombone #Jazz
I will discuss various topics like the mysterious musical vibe place which exists independent of time + space. Or the danger of falling victim to a lust killer and suddenly die – especially in spring 🌺 .
Besides, there will be lots of #CreativeCommons content, cuz music wants 2b free. Lots of tracks played aren't on #Spotify - yes, this is not a music industry friendly place. And most important: I've got the cutest #FediArtists there are, if I may say that - like @SamanthaJaneSmith@lgbtqia.space , @sixumbrellas@toot.berlin or @taconi@peertube.lhc.net.br@s.basspistol.org (under construction at da mo).

A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!
So what's in it?
- #AlternativePop
- #BeatlessRap
- #bassMusic
- Chilli #electro
- #cellphoneMusic
- #ChansonKaput
- depressive #Stimmungsschlager covers
- #Dachapunk
- #4track cassette stuff
- dark #harpMusic
- #classicalMusic
There will be some focus on limited recording envs (like playing live only with guitar + looper, using just a phone, or a 8- or even 4 track recording device) – have to admit, this wasn't planned: It happened by accident.
Also: >50% of the titles played can't be found on #Spotify, hehe.
But we've got LOTS of #fediverseMusicians here like…
- @penfriendrocks@mastodon.me.uk
- @stanleygrill@mastodon.social
- @sonicwalker@mastodon.social
- @n3wjack@mastodon.social
- @geigerzaehler@mastodon.social
You're all making the Fediverse a special and cozy place, u know that? Thank u so much!!
And there is lots of #CreativeCommons content as well. Because Radio Irrtum! will never be friends with the music industry. As there is no "industry" in real music.
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. And if u have questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)
This radio show is dedicated to Frau Anna Schmidt. She won't be able to listen anymore; at least not from this planet. R.I.P., Anna.

Today (yeah, I'm too late again) I finally had the chance to listen to your latest release:
The Cyberia EP .
It's beautiful! Every. Single. Track.
Especially "Antidepressants". And "Logout (Earth)" really takes the cake. Wow.
(wrote this from the wrong account first. I'm just a confused old fart ;) ).

Draco, you seem to look back at it kinda dismissive? It might very well be that your younger self will surprise you! ;) In any case, go for it!
Music wants to be free! :)
Source: I recently digitized my cassette recordings from the 80s. Made with 2 cheap cassette recorders (and my "self invented" overdub technique), a battery powered mixer, a microphone and my super shiny Yamaha PSR-470 (it hadn't even Midi but I was totally privileged to have that in East Germany).
5 cassettes plus 2 without the Synth (then only my piano and kitchen pots mainly). Yeah, there is cringe material, no kidding. But also a lot of not half bad stuff. Surprise!!

Highly recommended! I'm dead serious.

Tokyo Dawn Records... that's a name I didn't come across for a long time. 1999 or something alike.
Good to know they are still around and doing great things!

Is that already the real Boys Noize cooperation, or "just" the foreshadow?
Because sound aesthetic wise there is definitely a Boys Noize signature there, at least that's my impression.
And then there's the name. 9'' NOIZE.
Any intel about it?
Yo, when even conservative US "Christians" are openly disgusted...
#Trump is demonstrating his insanity once more. Funny enough -this- time it's not ignored even by his own :)

I dunno most of what you do, it seems a lot. But I know your music and your music is so good.
I have a cassette deck from 1982 here, it has a wonderful sound and I love just changing a cassette, press play, and listen to it on this fallen out of time device.
On one of my cassettes I have your track "A Queen".
This one: https://lifesubstitute.bandcamp.com/track/a-queen-featuring-john .
Whenever it comes up I'm totally astonished how well this is done, how lightweight it sounds and yet how deep it hits.
I also play it from exactly this cassette as the last track of my Creative Commons DJ sets. And I always observe how people stop talking to each other turning to the speakers and start bobbing dreamily.
That's your power. Please keep it, despite all the odds.

Nice!! I remember people saying, Phase Distribution is how Casio calls its FM Synthesis.
Haha. It's quite different from FM (especially the overtone spectrum) when listening to your synth. Sounds and also looks good!

Still totally proprietary undocumented file format. Good luck making .ai files work (for editing!) in any other program. This alone disqualifies this company.

Wait, no reference to It's main developer?
To John Mastodon?

#demoscene #ownmusic #chiptune #retrocomputing
Yeah, after just 27 years, I am again contributing to an official demoscene release (yeah, there is a point in time when you realize: indeed - life is short :) ).
I am part of
Rabenauge / Bitshifters: "Chipo Django #3"
a kewl 16 Bit #musicdisc with a twist: It's released on #AMIGA, #ATARIST and #ARCHIMEDES in parallel!
It feels unreal to be right between 2 kick ass tunes by FILIPPP and NOMISTAKE and on one disc together with legends like Vincenzo or Chavez.
More details at the Peertube description, including the download link of the disc image(s). AtariST/Amiga/Archi in one Zip.
This is my track only, the complete video recording of this disc will appear later on Youtube and the likes, I am sure.
Thanks to @bodohinueber@nerdculture.de (a superpowered Commodore coding wizard who did the Amiga port here) for having me!

This is the first time ever I actually don't miss #bandcampFriday to promote my own stuff. 'ere we go!
Actually still brand new - my Album
TOTAL CLUB DESTRUCTION .
With lots of #Acid, #Bass# #GermanTrap #AmigaTracks #PopDance #Bonkwave and what not. Including my #Fedivision and #aciddecember entries of the past years.
Buy it now, buy it here, as if there is no tomorrow!!
You don't need to buy it though, it's also on Mirlo (ok, you may buy it there too) and for free on two #Netlabels: Der Kleine Grüne Würfel and Basspistol - wait, I said buy, now I say don't... what?? It's Creative Commons, it's free, you just decide if you want to support me (your money goes into financing my monthly Radio Show) or right now cannot. I deliberately don't put links in here, so you may search for it and stumble upon many other great musicians on your way.
And if you don't like my stuff, maybe you like my recommondations?
First of, if you don't mind cover art that is not exactly like that on your usual high-luster magazines 😂 (I definitely like it!), plus - it's the music that counts (always!), one of the greatest iDm albums of the last years (yes with a capital D because this one grooves like nothing else), check out @violethousekid@mastodon.online and her album Superposition.
Furthermore: Here is, what I currently thinking about getting from Bandcamp:
Bass/Halftime/Dubstep/140 with extreme attention to detail: The EP "Thorned Rose" by Kessler.
Punk with slight riot girrrl attitude: The single "SNÕÕPY 7" by Snooper (Snooper is soooo kewl, I cannot get enough of em):
And what I'd call IDM with oldskuhl 80s Industrial influences from one who worked behind the scenes with Coil and still is working with Nurse with Wound: The Single "Feral Child" by Scanner.

Total killer track you did there.
I'm planning to write something about the latest Bonkwave releases (whether they contain bonk or not - who knows), within the German Fediverse soon, because I have a feeling, while there are lots of Germans here, Bonkwave is much too underrepresented within this language realm.
Anyway, I listened and took notes. Who will I give an extra mention... And your track stands way out.
No kidding!
Give us back Mars!! :)

THIS would be sooo cool! Thank you for all your efforts!
I spent a few wonderful days in the countryside with @stephan@sonomu.club from Schall und Stille and Frau K. at their place. It was… SO NICE!
The absolute opposite of Berlin (which is a good thing actually) .
And for all you curious folks: We'll remain silent about exactly what we've been doing here until it's finished. And that could take a while (as always when I'm involved)... ;)
But for a hint...
Check out Schall und Stille’s Bandcamp (really, really good!):
https://schallundstille.bandcamp.com/
German Interview that I conducted with Stephan/Schall und Stille… [so,err… lets switch to German]... vor knapp 2 Jahren, und was praktisch den Startschuss zu einer Entwicklung darstellt, die im Besuch an diesem langen Wochenende mündete (wir waren damals beide sehr aufgeregt, weil wir auch beide lange Zeit nicht mehr in einer Interview Situation waren).
Ist das Fediverse nicht ein irrer schöner Place, wenn es so ins Real Life überschlägt?

Totally interesting. The exact sweet spot between the old "depressive" The Cure ("One hundred years", "Cold") and the new much more playful The Cure ("The Walk". "Caterpillar").
I'm still impressed to hear so much tracks from their dark phase at this point in time; but I guess they simply hadn't enough new stuff ready yet: Why Can't I Be You is still in the future. On the other hand, Love Cats is missing, and that definitely was out already. Hmm. Playing with clichés then, ey?
