really obvious case of liberation that was brought on by net audio:

28 tracks on one, and 7 tracks on the other album/release

each track (of those 35) is a full 1-hour recording of a live #autechre concert performance from 2015-2018.

this kind of project 'd be impossible to issue before 2000

#bandcamp https://autechre.bandcamp.com/

[ downloads cost £38 and 17£ (£7 /separate track) ]

running subscriptions on

* Bandcamp means I have all releases in one place and a lot of stuff is intergrated and it's all under 'Fair Trade Music' umbrella (supposedly)

* Patreon means that I can host my art works anyplace even when Bandcamp becomes shitty via Epic Games (not that it shows any signs apart from the sale/deal).

for now I'm still on #Patreon and didn't yet published subs on #Bandcamp

#ampled is still unable to support artists from Slovenia but dunno if I want to move.

working on some final touches for release on May 26.

>>This reliance on a single platform places a huge burden on private companies like Bandcamp when they've created a service or technology that [...] has become "a shared cultural utility." So what alternatives are there for companies operating in this space?

"There's no easy alternative to this currently," said Aquarian, "but an artist led, co-operative platform where we have equity and a say in the operations would be ideal."<<

#BandCamp

In fact, brainstorming further about decentralized equivalents to #bandcamp could there be a space that would be a collection of loosely connected services but tied to single username/artist name?

-> funkwhale (music releases)
-> owncast (streaming)
-> mastodon (social updates)
-> peertube (videos, streaming)
-> mobilizon (events)

-> liberapay (open source, anon)
-> ampled (coop)
-> comradery (coop)

Talked to a friend who's more into the scene of tech buyouts and stuff like that on a morning coffee.

He said to know what will happen depends very much on why the acquisition actually happened and under what terms. what does Epic get from #Bandcamp in the deal?

what seems to matter is also that Bandcamp is actually huge. it's not a small startup for which it makes sense to be shutdown.

but we also don't know about any possible financial troubles of bc

we need to wait.

i'm not sure how i feel about #bandcamp joining Epic Games

"Fair and open platforms are critical to the future of the creator economy. Epic and Bandcamp share a mission of building the most artist friendly platform that enables creators to keep the majority of their hard-earned money. Bandcamp will play an important role in Epic’s vision to build out a creator marketplace ecosystem for content, technology, games, art, music and more."

wrote a Patreon update about special 'subscriber exclusive' album on Bandcamp

yes, #Bandcamp subscription comin' soon. that means that I'm suddenly confident (audacious?) enough to be takin monthly support from fans - ?!

new #bandCamp app now supports construction of custom queue with stuff from your collection

i have spent the night editing recording equalizing limiting comparing relistening and it's very close and will be so happy to publish another two track mini-ep on #bandcamp and #patreon in a day or so

"With this EP, Zergon outlines an engineering concept in artistic terms, with music that stands on its own. This is popular science at its musical best."
