7th note, PART 1: OK so there was a frenzy of activity on my 6th note at the 11th hour last night! TWO 🐳🐋’s left equally large #fatzaps at the last minute, so shoutout and thank you 🙏 to @Trazyn and @PDJ for that! Lots of other people jumped in with zaps and reposts so thank you 🙏 to everyone who did! I’m especially grateful to @MAKE SONGS LONGER for her instantly iconic “SPEND YOUR DAMN BITCOIN” quote 😆 so thank you for that haha!! Lastly, thank you 🙏 to the TWO people who played my little game of dropping zaps and commenting a theme for me to improvise to @Nic and @Surrealistic Menina! Since my highest zappers didn’t drop a theme AND since it was a tie for highest zap … I’ll do TWO little improvs for both Nic and Cristalina! First up, here is an improv on Nic’s theme of the Justice League Cartoon Theme Song! See below 👇 Check back tomorrow for PART 2 for Cristalina! #nostr #fatzaps #justiceleague #violin

Sixth note, I’m celebrating changing from the word “post” to “note”. See my previous notes for the erroneous “post” lingo 😅Anyway, as a musician I like the word note better (🎶) — I plan to share many more notes on Nostr, both musical and otherwise! Here’s a short set of two Irish fiddle tunes for your listening pleasure! The lyrical Arran Boat Song followed by the off kilter slip jig Kid on the Mountain. Also, I’m curious to try something new: drop a zap ⚡️ and comment a theme/word for my next video. Tomorrow I’ll improvise a tune inspired by the theme of the highest zapper!! What do you think?? And as always, if you like the music, and think this is a nifty idea, help me get the word out by reposting! Thanks for your support! 💜🧡 #Nostr #music #violin #pow #zap

I’m here for this type live music event… incredible work!! View quoted note →

Fifth post, and can I just say… sharing music on Nostr actually FEELS GOOD. As an independent artist I’ve tried “sharing value” on corporate social, but it’s always felt like a slog. Post for months, but the platform gives nothing back. Always waiting for an algorithm I don’t understand, that I have no control over, to gatekeep my content only to get low views, low engagement, and no value coming back to me. Maybe right now YouTube, Meta, and co have more “potential reach”, if you can bear the slog, but I can tell you that sharing on Nostr immediately feels WAY BETTER, so I’m sure this will all change. On Nostr I’ve felt the love, felt valued right away, and I’ve been paid for my effort directly by individuals in digital sound money… my mind is seriously blown!! And I feel energized to keep contributing. For independent musicians, nostr is a game changer. Anyway, introducing my large tenor viola, thanks to @Grace and Truth for the request! Here I am playing the first part of a piece I wrote called “Little Monster”… I think the seaweed really adds something! #nostr #music #viola #acoustic #introductions
