Happy #MusiciansDay! (yeah I missed it here in Oz but it's still the 27th elsewhere on the globe). I make #psychedelic, #ambient, #analogue #electronic and otherwise #weird #music, some of which I have placed delicately and with loving care upon the undulating digital waves of the information stuporhighway - aka my #Faircamp site, here -

https://tryptophonic.com

An example thereof, by way of an audiovisual manifestation, aka a film clip, can be seen on my #Peertube here -

Ok, here's my #MusiciansDay pitch:

I make electronic music, but do try at times to give it a human touch (despite my appearance )

Sometimes I dabble in making #DAWless music. This video gives you a good idea what that is like:

To check out my DAWless and my awfully DAWful music, head to my #Faircamp at https://faircamp.axwax.eu

"Home (When Shadows Fall)", a pop ballad from 1932, recorded in #BlackbirdStudio on January 25th of this year for my student project.

Ev'ning marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the West

Ev'ning ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best

Apparently it's Musician's Day here on the fedi... you can find more than two decade's worth of music and noise from my projects for whatever price you can afford on my Faircamp site. Monetary support is of course much appreciated, but not required.

@didier Hey there, just wanted to let you know that the upcoming #faircamp podcast feature release will include the possibility to link to specific timecodes in audio tracks from (e.g.) within the show notes (but technically you can rig any link to your release/track pages - both within or outside your faircamp site - with a timecode reference).

So e.g. the second link in your Lost Sets Diaries Volume 1 About text could become '[#t=5m26s](05:26) "Belize" by Anja Schneider.' (written as markdown here, can also be html of course) and that will take people right there when they click it.

Seeing your track list a few weeks ago kinda inspired me to include this, so I thought I'd let you know first. ;) Thanks for the inspiration!

The initial podcast feature release for #faircamp will come with playback speed control already yay. :) Wasn't sure I could fit it in, but it's done, yess!

(this is opt-in in general, you can also enable it for your music if you want •ᴗ•)

Just downloaded “Status” by @meljoann from Faircamp! Some very cool electronic sounds, I like being able to get things directly from artists, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see it's available in Opus format — I was just thinking about that format recently

How to Install and Run Faircamp

Faircamp is a static site generator made by @freebliss, which enables any music producer to build a complete website to showcase their music.

Compatible with pretty much any web host Faircamp makes it easy to present your sounds to the world in minutes with no database, no programming and no maintenance required.

However, if you’ve never had experience running a shell command before it may seem a little daunting at first look. That’s where @meljoann’s article on How to Install and Run Faircamp comes in super-handy.

First written in 2023 she has kept the article updated for newer releases of Faircamp. Just read through and follow her guide as you go and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Just did the first successful test-subscribe to a #faircamp generated podcast rss feed. ⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

J'ai décidé de mieux dissocier mes identités musicales à mon nom et à celui de Contemplator. MàJ du contenu de mon site web / #Faircamp / #hyper8 vers un focus plus personnel donc, et création d'un site dédié à Contemplator (aussi FC + H8) ! J'en ai profité pour peaufiner le look des pages Faircamp au maximum de mes habilités.

Apparently Faircamp 1.2 was released last month, with support for track level metadata!

https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md

That's my cue to start working on a version of Rainfall (https://rainfall.dev) that allows you to edit track metadata before generating your site.

Stay tuned!

Y'all, I'm crying happy tears for once.

@MTP just made my day and week by sending me his newest CD all the way from Wales to the formerly USA! For free & with a beautiful handwritten note, all because I bought and loved his first album.

You are NOT alone and there are other good people out here. Find the others.

@limebar Do you think you might be able to help get him setup of #Faircamp and/or #TheIndieBeat

Heut hab ich meine #Faircamp -Seite mal geupdated.

Neben meiner relativ aktuellen EP "Arbeit oder Liebe" von 2023 lassen sich dort jetzt auch "Demos und Ideen" aus den Jahren 2007 bis 2025 anhören sowie Songs, die ich mit meiner damaligen Band "Danke Samba" aufgenommen hatte.

One of the upcoming #faircamp releases will probably include javascript asset minification¹ (a specific compression method):

The most javascript "heavy" page on a faircamp site is a release page, the only page that might load all javascript assets faircamp uses at once (which are then cached and reused on all other pages).

On my latest development branch this transfers 56kB of javascript.

With minifcation it's down to 29kB of javascript.

For reference, the #mastodon web interface page I'm writing this from (notifications) transfers 1753kB of javascript, which is the equivalent of loading 60 different faircamp websites.

But maybe that's a bad comparison, so for a better reference I just loaded a random #bandcamp release page from my bookmarks, and that transfers 4692kB of javascript, the equivalent of loading 160 different faircamp websites.

ฅʕ•ᴥ•`ʔ

(¹compile-time, i.e. the distributed binary even gets marginally lighter for those who use faircamp)

I installed matomo on https://rainfall.dev, and it looks like I'm getting about 1-3 website hits per week.

Surely there must be more artists, musicians and bands out there that want to create a Faircamp website?

Maybe there is some critical bug or problem that I don't know about? If you've tried the site, I appreciate any and all feedback.

I definitely had fun building it, but I also put an awful lot of work into making it professional, bug free, and easy to use. Would love for more people to check it out!
