Using a @Sovran Money esim on the iPad. From payment to install and up and running took less than 90 seconds. Phenomenal. Works a treat. A++. #sovran

Totally forgot this existed. Back in the early 2000s BIG percussion was in. Kodo, and shows like Battlestar Galactica, Underworld, 300, etc. You do what you gotta! #musicstr #tunestr #v4vmusic #wavlake

This is what happens when you grew up on 80s metal. Just sayin'. Be careful out there, kids! #musicstr #v4vmusic #wavlake

Something going on with the site, @Wavlake - I keep getting this when I try to access studio. Everthing else works: analytics, artists, etc. #wavlake

Apparently I'm also in a hard rock power trio. I'm sorry. Or ... you're welcome? 😉 Please share/zap if you dig it. #tunestr #v4vmusic #wavlake

Well this is an absolute banger. The vocals are ... *chef's kiss* Full disclosure: I only supplied the beat and don't really deserve a producer credit. But that's how they role in hip-hop land. #tunestr #v4vmusic

Have coaxed my friend Jeannie Wilde onto @Wavlake with a jazz standard track written and co-produced by me. If you like it, give it a zap and let's make her feel welcome! And maybe she'll agree to put up the other tracks we did! 😉 #tunestr #v4v

So, this is interesting. I have multiple posts going back over a month or more that I made via @Amethyst that have never shown up in @primal. Also, I was receiving zaps that I couldn't find the origin of. Opened Amethyst - a whole bunch of notifications on zaps, likes and comments, none of it ever showed up in Primal. It was similar with some stuff going Primal -> Amethyst. I've been sitting on my username over on Bluesky with 2 followers for 8 months. In the last week that's ballooned to 100+ followers, all of them music friends/colleagues, fleeing the X dumpster fire. What most of them seem to want is an *old* twitter replacement, that simply works and has their tribe and connections, whichI totally get. Even though I'm extolling the virtues of @Wavlake over there, realistically, Nostr itself just isn't ready yet. These are working, professional musicians/songwriters, not developers or tech geeks. They don't have the time or brain space for "relays" and "nips". And I suspect that's the case for many fleeing X. I think @Vitor Pamplona might be right; pushing apps instead of protocols might be the way. Abstract the backend away, unless you actively want to tinker. But if a bunch of your posts, likes, comments and zaps aren't populating across those apps, that's a UX nightmare that will drive users away. At some point, this stuff with smooth out, but we're absolutely not there yet.

Back in the '80s, when I was first starting to figure out this music and songwriting stuff, these two books were invaluable. Songwriting for lyrics and song structure(s). Play Rock Keyboards for chords, progressions, inversions, etc. Their importance to my early development cannot be overstated. #music #musicstr #musicbooks #songwriting

So I have a SoundCloud account I've never really used, but music industry types kind of expect it. So my current strategy is to post some tracks over there and use it to gently push people over to #wavelake instead. SoundCloud and Spotify are still the standards, alas, but we just need to keep pushing forward.

Yes, I'm still here. I haven't jumped ship to one of those corporate silos. I could tell you were all worried. /sarcasm I did take a much needed holiday and have been "producing" music for, and with, other artists. Wasn't planned, just happened. And a collab with a friend. All incoming. Have convinced all of them to give #wavlake a shot. Next step, get them on #nostr.

This was intended for a video game, but things didn't quite work out. Still has a nice a kick to it. Enjoy. #music #musicstr #nostrmusic #wavlake

Not gonna lie; what we need is more shamanistic pagan music in the old languages. Because, sure, why not?
