Hi, all!
Feel free to do a quick introduction if you’ve joined this instance, or if you’re from another instance but interested in the communities here.
I’ll go first: I’m Beto, originally from Brazil but living in California. I started writing songs when I was 14 years old, and always loved making music.
I have a one-person band called The Fishermen & the Priestess, and I post all my songs (releases and experimental tracks) on a Funkwhale instance (which is another federated project).
My songs are usually ambient/downtempo and very hopeful. I love using cassette tapes, tape loops, and 4-track recorders, and I’m planning to release my next album on microcassettes.
Hi everyone! I’m eldoom!
I’m a metalworker by profession but I spend most of my free time learning banjo and DJing really weird dub music. Sometimes I DJ space bass or what some people call acid trap. I also have a kalimba I love playing with. I’ve been working on getting Ableton up and running to create my own tracks, but my space is sorta limited and I can’t stand making music without at least turning some knobs and hitting some keys lol. Someday soon.
I love all types of music as long as the message or general feel is uplifting or makes me think. I’ve been scrolling around here and it looks like I’m going to learn a lot!
Welcome, eldoom!
Kalimbas are super cool and underrated… have you ever seen the Colour Palette? I’ve been wanting to do some kind of DIY version of that, it’s a cool concept.
Oh yeah I did see one of those a while back! Really cool kalimba! Have you seen this video? Dude hacks it and I think it’s just nuts.
Oh, I haven’t seen that video! That is amazing!
Right! I’m definitely going to have to get one of those eventually lol!
I started playing banjo about month ago! Want to co-moderate a banjo community here?
I totally would love to but I work 10 hour days and have 3 kids and I simply don’t have anywhere near enough time for that… It’s also why I haven’t started like a wook bass or a dub community here.
