07.08.2025 08:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The music directors of the HBO series were the best. Every episode starts with the theme here, but they all had brilliant choices of different closing credit music, from blues to rock to opera.
07.08.2025 08:53 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We go to a restaurant that's part of a hotel. The entire hotel has piano music playing. The music could easily be done by any AI tool and with a pro Steinway patch, no one would be able to tell. In fact, the piano stuff they play is so lame that it may well be generated! Commissions still ok.

I know and I get it. (Keeping this public as there are things others can learn.) I did get sales on BC but I had a serious conflict I won't retell. Spotify worked better before the 1,000 stream thing, obviously. But sync offers may start to suffer significantly from AI injection. Hope not!

Good into to cyanotype!

I think I didn't hit "show all" cause I was in a hurry. But that is the track on the lists. You should see a few hundred more hits on that... per year. π€£

If only the big tech "thought leaders" (and CEOs) would do what is right, it would change the country in a good way.
But one thing is standing in their way: Shareholders.
Is this going to be on Spotify? I have sevral playlists there. Or have you given up on Spotify, just the agency posts there?

Two people had a big musical influence on me in the past years. My pianist brother Art, who died two years ago, and saxophonist Pete Effamy. They both play on my track "Four You". Pete's clarinet work is nothing short of stellar.

Good morning! If you want to make your Bluesky experience even better, take a look at this feed creator. You can put all your interests in keywords and see a feed of posts using the words and names you give it and not seeing things or people you specify. You can do the latter with filters.
07.08.2025 03:58 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0I find it useful as long as you know the caveats, but another more worrying factor is what you about resource waste. Water, electricity and let's face it, time, yours and mine!

07.08.2025 03:53 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Follow this feed for the original music of the best BlueSky creators. And if you make original music, post one track per day with the hashtag #SkyOriginalMusicTracks and get in the feed. Hashtags are limited to three total. Link to a playable track (not PR) and you're in!
06.08.2025 19:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I actually jumped through some major hoops to get back on Twitter, and I'm posting about this support thing now. I alm following 0 accounts but have almost 900 followers. Mostly bots, probably, but I see a few friends names, too. Maybe DK will reach out.
No way the emails I get are from humans.
I'm not bothered by #AI in any other capacity than support; IT CAN'T DO IT. Hire hupman beings to do the support and give them agency to act.
#DistroKid it's shocking how it went from good to unusable. The other are no better, they are all competeing for the lost useless support service.
DK used to be the best support. Now, of the five distributors I've use (DK, LANDR and CDBaby), only two are decent and that's because I haven't needed any support!
#AI can do music and graphics, but it's horrible at support!
Get some desperate humans to do support, it'll be better than what's now.
I will ask about something, they do the "see our FAQ" links, etc, but even when I break through to what is supposed to be human agents, they are either just more #AI or people who have no brain at all. I can't believe the support wenr from good to useless for any other reason than reduced staff.
06.08.2025 19:08 β π 2 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0The worst think #AI has done is to make support worthless on sites that use it. Two recent issues on DistroKid, which used to be excellent support, are absurd surreal discussions where th ereplies from them, which are either AI or people who do not understand English at all.

I needed to make a change to my (unused) Twitter account. I couldn't get in. I went through support and it worked better than almost every support I have needed in the past two weeks!
DISTROKID SUPPORT went from excellent to worthless in the past year or two.
I met Emile Fortune (keys) on Clubhouse. He plays on several of my tracks. He's in Trinidad. Christian Duperray (bass) ws in one of my Paris trios.

Great music doesn't have to be complicated. No matter how simple, this works. Mr. Lanois is a genius producer, too.

Listen to Toots solo in the beautiful composition. Solo is about 2 minutes in, but do not skip there! The solo is exemplary, it's simple, yet couldn't be any better IMO.
