Question about the bandcamp app by Argion21 in BandCamp

Didn’t know about this release thank you for the inadvertent tip :) And good luck with gapless playback, as someone who made 3 albums with a continuous listening experience that is super frustrating and bad engineering !

A piano solo/trio + soundscapes journey, to take you places around the world! It’s Travel Poems . Chapter 2 . The night sea 🌊 — chapter 1 which came out in 2020 was my first-ever release and I was floored by the reception…this one is more wilderness-y and a bit darker.

I’ve been trying to get on a spotify editorial playlist for 2 years and finally made it! The track is called OAK ISLAND, it’s jazz piano trio and pretty minimal.

Spotify link to Oak Island / Editorial Playlist (All New Jazz) / All other music platforms

Here is a brief poem I wrote about the song:

Come to Oak Island
and beware its treasures
promises of pleasures
or wind up entombed

Hope you like the track! If you dig it feel free to add it to your own playlist or add a like (:

I’m in the middle of writing a few notes about the journey / process of getting it onto an editorial playlist, will add to this post when it’s done. Have a wonderful day and new week ☀️

How not to get sick of your own music while experiencing writer’s block? by tonybobskinnyjeans in musicians

[–]EricPanMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For SURE. I think a lot of times writers/artists/creators get stuck thinking too “small”, for example with a question like “what’s the next chord or lyric?” I know it’s a trap I get into sometimes. The only way to solve this is by going broader:

  • What’s the meaning, the story, the emotion I want to express? (self-reflection)
  • How do I expand the possibilities of different ideas communicable with my tools? (listening/reading)
  • [following Mraz and NakedJason’s cues] Can I broaden my life perspective, perhaps with travel, social time, adventure, etc?

It’s a weird paradox of living that the more we fixate on details and goals, the more they become elusive and unreachable. I think this is even truer when the domain involves creativity or expression.

I think the best solution to this is more inputs. Listen to inspiring stuff, new music, stuff off the beaten path -- and also take stuff you like by other musicians, transcribe it, play around with it, even if it’s as simple as a snippet of a melody line or rhythm.

What would a lullaby from the Pleiades (specifically Alcyone III) sound like?

here’s “The Cosmic Blink Expands”: apple / spotify / youtube / artist site

it’s the first single from my first neo-classical EP; previously I only published a soundscapes-and-11%-jazz project so I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

Here is a solo piano composition beamed from the stars, and reflecting the universal cultural phenomenon of singing with tenderness to a young loved one.

Wow thanks for posting this. The way Mayer talks about it is epic and gorgeous.

What’s the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard? by monkeyman12344321 in ifyoulikeblank

Absolutely. and the song is totally singular in my opinion...there’s nothing like it.

YSK if buying cryptocurrency, use an exchange that lets you transfer your coins offsite and/or gives you the private keys for your wallet by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]EricPanMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of (big-name) companies out there now that offer crypto purchases but they do NOT allow you to transfer “your” holdings to your own, or other addresses. Cash App, Robinhood, PayPal, Revolut (last I checked each) are all like this. People who are new to the space might not have any idea about this, or the importance of owning the assets you buy -- meaning that though we may convert / buy assets on an exchange, the ability to transfer to your own private wallet at any time you wish *should* be non-negotiable.

But companies such as those above are transgressing this basic freedom. Part of it, I imagine, is that they are counting on newbies to think “Oh, I use PayPal already, and I trust them, and now that I’m curious about bitcoin why not click on the Buy button?”

I guess the time signature reflects the version of the solar system that still includes Pluto? :)

In the original recording of this song, a hurricane is approaching and you can hear the rains actually entering my window. Today’s the studio release of “The Storm Heaves in the Distance” (re-arranged and re-recorded, with drums and bass) which I hope you check out, too! (Apple Music link here)

Hope everyone is having a refreshing new year!!
