SOLO PIANO 2 My second set of piano music.

Did the thing: https://cult.kidlightbulbs.com/solo-piano-2/

For context: I originally intended this as a December Bandcamp Friday special thing, but decided to be impulsive and surprise the 7 people who like my piano music. It's sort of a stripped-down companion to INFINITE NORMAL – most of the pieces are reductions of or related to that material, plus a […]

ok so i did it: here's SOLO PIANO 2

it's exclusively up at cult of lightbulbs. free to stream, optional pay to download in any format.

the great thing about having a self-hosted music site with zero fees or strings is that i can impulsively upload an album of piano music i impulsively recorded

and you can just listen to it

and i don't need to worry about marketing or fees or optimizing my […]

Wild to get a @bandcamp message from Björk of all people

Community is available for everyone, including on our free tier (with some limits, of course)

And this is just the first step. There is so much more to come in this exciting new area of Buffer over the coming months.

More on it here: https://buffer.com/resources/introducing-community/

I am so excited about this one: @buffer now has a fully-packed comment management toolset built in 😊

It's called Community!

The whole idea is that building an audience on social isn't just about posting bangers all the time. You need to engage with those folks too. This is hard to remember to […]

I may or may not have just impulsively recorded a second album of piano music

The #1 country song on the US music charts is AI generated.

If you don’t like AI, perhaps mainstream music (whose success is partly reflected in those charts & is only moving further in that direction) is not for you

If you’re not sure where to go instead for music, I highly recommend […]

Hey have you heard my latest album yet? It’s called INFINITE NORMAL and tbh it’s pretty timely 😬

If you’re into alternative rock, dry & honest lyricism, and minimalist sprawl, you may dig it.

https://cult.kidlightbulbs.com/infinite-normal/

No one asked, but I’ve been posting/hanging here a bit less lately and generally not doing a great job promoting my stuff. Instead been filling more of my (sparse) free time
- tinkering with things like the quoted post
- reading books / enjoying the benefits of a solid local library
- watching […]

@daringcoyotes @iamdavehawkins y'all may appreciate this! it took a little while to get right, but I figured out a workflow to make the whole re-building process for Faircamp pretty painless for me, after the (very time-consuming) initial first build

Read it here, or when I send it out via the newsletter (likely tonight/tomorrow):

okay, powered through and wrote up a li'l thing about my new Faircamp site, cult of lightbulbs

this was a fun little experiment and may be overkill for quite a lot of folks, but proved to me that it's possible to DIY your own music store / patreon-style offering […]

I find it fascinating (though maybe unsurprising) that ghost posts has basically disappeared from my threads feed. Was a cute lil fad for 3 days around Halloween I guess?

I plan to write a much larger and somewhat technical overview of how I built this and intend for it to work for the newsletter, stay tuned

Over the last few weeks I've been slowly building up a fun li'l internet ecosystem that could serve as my "DIY patreon"

I'm calling it CULT OF LIGHTBULBS 👹

This isn't a new thing! My Bandcamp sub is already called this. But I started toying around with Faircamp - a self-hosted, DIY digital […]

Kid Lightbulbs - REMIXED CASTLE Listen to REMIXED CASTLE by Kid Lightbulbs.

I know I'm technically supposed to be promoting the album I just put out, but this morning I've got REMIXED CASTLE on repeat

this entire sequence of remixes by 11 completely different artists is 🤌

This is arguably the feature I'm most excited that we're bringing to @buffer since I joined the team.

A calm (seriously, it's so... just calm) way of keeping up with your community across social platforms. It's truly going to be wonderful for all types of creators.

Coming next Wednesday 😉

I co-wrote this song with my friend Tess a long time ago. It took a few different forms, most significantly as a sort of upbeat synth-rock thing, but it never really fit in stylistically with anything else I've produced. Since developing Kid Lightbulbs, doing more with just piano and voice has […]

INFINITE NORMAL track 12: "you know"

I almost ended the album on a super dark note, but that felt both disingenuous (I'm actually pretty happy most of the time!) & incomplete. Since I've been married I've always had a bit of "no matter what we'll have each other" permeating every hard thing […]

on hold with a bank through which I have a loan and their hold music is Filter's 1999 seminal hit "take a picture" and i think this might be the best bank in the world

INFINITE NORMAL track 11: "i stood in the rain part 2"

It's part extension of an earlier idea, part sound collage, part plot climax. "part 2" was originally conceived as the final sections of a larger, single "i stood in the rain" — I envisioned the whole thing as a big 10-minute funeral dirge […]

Optimism is back, baby

INFINITE NORMAL track 10: "precariat"

My internet friend ilyBBY introduced this term to me – it refers to a social class formed by people suffering from precarity, which means existing without predictability or security of income, affecting material or psychological welfare. Lots of people I […]
