Rare things from the archives: A 2008 rehearsal of "Kismet" with Botany Bay. Just Laura, me, and too many synths in a tiny room at Bad Godesberg station. The band is long gone now, and so are most of its listeners… but these were the first steps toward some of the happiest moments my music ever brought me.

Botany Bay - Kismet (live rehearsal, 2008)

The year was 2008. The name of the project was Botany Bay, and for the first time there were enough people interested in our music that we couldn�...

I have decided to dedicate the next couple of weeks to try and finsih my 3rd album, "Strategies Against Algorithms" , a loosely connected suite of quite reduced and personal #protest songs. This “Offline Album” will only be available in exchange for something creative and personal – and strictly offline. To stay motivated (and to "promote" it without feeling bad about it, which I usually do), I have decided to share a little bit about the creative process here. #strategiesagainstalgorithms

#fedihired in Deutschland? Ich, Softwareentwickler, zuletzt 3 Jahre im KI-Umfeld (Python, Java), davor Senior iOS/Mac Dev (Swift, ObjC), suche einen neuen, vorzugsweise sinnvollen und nachhaltigen Job. Auch Quereinstieg, z.B. als #linux sysadmin fände ich prima! Was ich nicht mehr möchte: Im KI-Bereich arbeiten.🤯 Max. 4 Tage/Woche, da ich weiter ehrenamtlich im #tierschutz arbeiten will. Gerne remote oder teil-remote im Raum Bonn. Los, Fedi, zeig was Du kannst ❤️ Plz boost! :boost_requested:

I've ditched Spotify before it was cool.

Deutschland, Du bist dran! Wäre schön, wenn wir irgendwann mal keine Pferde mehr sedieren müssen, damit sie diesen vollkommen unnötigen Schwachsinn überleben.

Niederlande verbieten Böller ab Silvester 2026/2027

I understand that Creative Commons is just a licensing framework. I don’t expect the organization to champion my art, to recognize the value of my work, or to offer thanks — that's never been the point. But if CC becomes a label that, through initiatives like these "signals", effectively tells the world, "These are the artists who are fine with being exploited", then something has gone terribly wrong. #cc #ccmusic #creativecommons

I invite every fediverse #artist who distribute their work under a #creativecommons license to chime in on this topic.

The goal should be protection, not Ingratiation · Issue #14 · creativecommons/cc-signals

Problem This whole idea is completely and utterly wrong. Description Inviting AI scrapers to negotiate licensing terms for CC works is like a flock...

The fediverse is a strange flower indeed. This week I tried to give away some equipment I no longer needed. 1st toot: Crickets, no one's interested. 😑 2nd toot: People are busting down my door to get the stuff 🙀 So I thought to myself, hey, maybe this works with #music, too. Here is "Fish Out Of Water", a beautiful song from my current #album "Malers Hüs".

Fish Out Of Water, by Schall und Stille

from the album Malers Hüs

Up until now it's been mostly #crickets for Malers Hüs. But maybe we can change that…? ❤️
