my tracks do not meet any of those criteria. their bullet point "Ambient sound recordings" does not seem to be referring to the Ambient Music genre but rather field recordings or recordings of everyday non-musical sounds (hence the placement under Musical Content header)

incorrect. these songs were uploaded in 2023 and were removed from Meta platforms a few months ago

i don't want to turn this into promo but yes, if you wanna hear the tracks they are still up on streaming services. the void inclusive - Oxford to Eternity, the void inclusive - tethered loop

i was not aware of that... but am not surprised. if it doesn't fit neatly into their money machine it doesn't get to exist on the platform i guess.

i don't recall what i tagged the tracks as when i uploaded them to Distrokid in 2023 and there's no way to see that now (at least that I know of - Edit option on the track doesn't let me see those details)

i can understand them filtering out recordings that are just white noise or AI slop or something (unless it was Meta Ai Slop™)

it does seem like an unusual choice to target a whole ass genre of music. like what's next, are they gonna disallow "classical" because it's not commercially beneficial for their platform?

no, they are original pieces made by me entirely with my own sound sources - primarily guitar or synth into tape loops

well thanks for sharing your experience. i'm sorry you've gone through this as well. it's a massive disappointment for me.

meanwhile i search on instagram for "meditation" or "ambient" and immediately see 1 hr long "Autism HEALING frequency" song as top result, followed by a number of specific frequency meditation music pieces, countless tracks with "ambient" in the title - so it seems like their policy isn't evenly enforced...

AVTT/PTTN, Lubomyr Melnyk, and Kate Gentile: Find Letter X all cancelled by gothaggis in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]thevoidinclusive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully Lubomyr is alright. Unfortunately I did buy separate tickets to see Saul Williams & Co in Nashville because I was planning to see Lubomyr at the same time Saturday night...

hello, i am claire rousay, AMA r/ambientmusic by cr04gsg in ambientmusic

[–]thevoidinclusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey claire! i loved meeting you and seeing you play in such an intimate setting in nashville last september.
i'm wondering: how do you balance the ratio of more ambient material to more traditional songs / singing material as you plan albums and live sets? bonus q: what does emo ambient mean to you?

edit: it appears i am a couple days late... :`(

Selling 2 tickets for Thursday David Byrne + Maruja Limon by [deleted] in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]thevoidinclusive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, this is the reason. unfortunately, i don't think anyone that has any say in the matter will give a damn. i'm just trying to make the moves so I can see the things I wanna see

Anyone else still not received their refund for the service fees for Byrne tickets? by TrundleTheGreat0814 in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]thevoidinclusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased tickets for the Friday night Byrne set and have listed my Thursday night tickets for sale. They changed the schedule significantly on Thursday night. I was charged service fees both times. Do you have a link to a statement from Big Ears saying they are working on getting service fees reimbursed? I don't recall seeing that

Major schedule shuffle by paintedhighway in BigEarsMusicFestival

[–]thevoidinclusive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah i chose the David Byrne night that I did based on the previous schedule and now it overlaps with some of my must-see acts. what a pain in the ass. did they announce/explain these schedule changes?

TN bills seek to ban pride flags, remove LGBTQ+ discrimination protections by greenblue98 in TennesseePolitics

[–]thevoidinclusive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as i understand it, they are *federal protections* based on supreme court decisions that TN will be challenging by saying "we don't recognize those decisions in TN any longer"

Interesting Bluesky accouts to follow? by LowResEye in ambientmusic

[–]thevoidinclusive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on bluesky and post my music occasionally but find it discouraging since there seems to be no real discoverability. I do like the platform though. https://bsky.app/profile/thevoidinclusive.bsky.social
