Watching a video on the new third-party keyboard support for #KompleteKontrol. I can already say this is not going to be great for most fully #blind #musicians mostly because actually browsing through your entire KK library is not supported. You can browse through presets once an instrument is loaded, you can usually modify plugin parameters although that isn't always the case for some Kontakt instruments apparently, you CAN do a search and move through the seaerch resuls though, so provided you can do accessibly do a search that hacks around that issue. The main thing I'm not sure about is, amusingly, if you can toggle #accessibility support. I'm leaning towards probably not, so you'd need Bobby from down the block to hook up their KK keyboard and turn it on for you but after that I do think it may actually talk if you use a 3rd-party controller :)

Enjoy, ciao! 
Please ditch #Spotify and switch to #Tidal instead. At least Tidal treats #musicians, #artists, and #performers a helluva lot better than Spotify does. #music #streaming

I’ve documented how musicians can make more money for each track sold (losing less to the payment processor for each small transaction): https://nham.co.uk/2025/03/musicians-how-to-receive-more-money-for-each-track-sold/
If you’re a musician or know a musician who sells tracks online please share!

Hello! This is another amazing cover of one of my fave songs of all time. This musician's slowed down, ballad style cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! He truly does the song much justice.
Take a listen!

How to practice and master music
with minimal frustration
Mindfulness and music study skills are
the key to rewarding practice. But first, a sobering quote from Mark Twain: "Man is the animal most capable of learning from the experience of others ...but few do."
#musicians #learning #practice
Guys. GUYS. I have just found one of the best "outsider" indie bands I have ever heard in my life. It's like a cross between Primus, Frank Zappa, and Wesley Willis. I am *OBSESSED*
Check this out..
@mirlo is killing it right now, and working hard to do the important (but un-shiny) work of making a site for #Musicians that anyone can host **inexpensively**
This is the endgame for the #Fediverse - thousands of indie sites, not mega instances - but it’ll take this kind of work to pull it off.
Good job, guys. I’m super jealous of you rn.
Happy Bandcamp Friday! Go support a musician today!
Tomorrow is #BandCampFriday . Great opportunity to support indie music artists. Preferably including me. So gimme your money. 
Fellow #musicians! Want to see *your* work featured in a future installment? Cool, I also want that. Reach out, let's talk!
Slowly gathering things together for a video. Have a read if you fancy being involved.

Hats off to all the #cooperatives and #federated folks doing cool things right now to address some of what’s mentioned in this article.

Hi #Musicians of #Mastodon
Can anyone recommend a decent place to try to sell my 90s acoustic Tama Rockstar 7-piece (with 2nd bass drum) kit with 5 cymbals?
Facebook Marketplace glitched on me and refused to accept my phone number to allow me to place a listing.

I’ve just been trying to summarize my feelings regarding AI generated art, music and literature.
To me, it’s all about self expression.
The problem is, machines have no “self” to express…
