kid lightbulbs LP2 + 3 are a bit cute in retrospect. They're good & I like them, but they were mainly exercises in revisiting past material to keep momentum going for this project – one that challenged me to get out of my shell a bit and finish some unfinished work I was previously unconfident […]

I can't wait to break spotify's algorithm with my 4 minute 90s-throwback industrial pop single that is actually an 8 1/2 minute track with nearly 5 minutes of improvisatory piano on it

It feels cute & a little ridiculous sometimes to keep posting about tech stuff & my dumb music bs right now But I hope they’re a bit of a light / distraction / inspiration to keep creativity & innovation going in this otherwise destructive time

What I learned about myself last night is that my creative process for music is sacred and I don’t like sharing it, and that’s ok because there are plenty of other “process” & “insights” things I can share otherwise. Sorry y’all, that one’s for me. This is probably I didnt stay long in bands in […]

I might livestream tonight, but if I do, what if I just livestreamed myself messing around with some LP4 ideas? No plan, this could be extremely poor entertainment, but also it may be absolute fire https://www.youtube.com/@kidlightbulbs to get notified if/when i go live 🥸

Sometimes I wonder if podcasts have been worse for independent music than the major labels. It all competes for your ears’ attention. Podcasts are long and often mindless, and that might just be an “easier listen” for most folks than some random alternative artist expressing themselves.

The tension of this album is right on the tin and an astounding listen. The first 2 tracks alone are upsettingly good. RE: https://www.threads.com/@kingtriumph_official/post/DKCog2Mx2Gc

To all the folks frustrated, jaded, pessimistic about art in the age of AI: Be weird as hell. Subvert expectations with your art / music / whatever you make. Put your heart and sweat into it. Challenge yourself to make something only you can make, something the AI bots cannot replicate. Give […]

The news sucks. Replace it with joy. @ilybby_music's remix of my track "aquarium" is out now, everywhere. We called it the "joy as resistance" mix because they took an incredibly bleak song and turned it into gorgeous, romantic hyperpop goodness. https://artists.landr.com/056870390390

For those inquiring about the new Bandcamp playlists, there are still a bunch of missing features. It’s still in beta. But they are committing to at least adding these things:

I share this theory as well and it's a big reason why I have very little motivation to make a Kid Lightbulbs live set. I'm not sure the vast majority of people care to discover new bands and it's increasingly not economically viable to take the chance that a rare few do. I do think […]

I am thrilled to be sharing the next Kid Lightbulbs remix dropping this Friday - “aquarium”, reinterpreted by @ilybby_music 👐 This is arguably the bleakest song on RUINED CASTLE, and ily somehow turned into two different things, both exuding joy – a […] [Original post on threads.com]

Always great, never gets old: when someone you don't immediately recognize buys your whole album on Bandcamp 😄😄 😄 😄 I tried tracking this down, and it seems like a totally cold purchase: this individual found RUINED CASTLE on some embedded player somewhere. I […] [Original post on threads.com]

The second best feeling is when you can’t figure out how to end a song so you start messing around on piano and then end up with a 4-minute piano improvisation as the ending to a song that is now nearly 8 minutes in length

The best feeling is when a song comes from shower idea to near-finished production in like 3 days. #music threads

Looks like along with more links in bio, @threads will also be testing showing more links in the For You feed. This is a huge improvement since competitors like @bluesky_social have proven the value of more links in people's feeds 👏🏼 RE: https://www.threads.com/@karissabe/post/DJrgBAFJuYC

An extremely underrated perk of remote work: if you have a pet, you can have it around all day long without needing to worry about whether a coworker is allergic to said pet even better if they sit up like a human next to you while you're working

hey is auto-tune one of the technologies "real musicians" are rejecting these days? because it's a really fun creative effect and I think more people should consider it with that framing, as opposed to "make bad singer sound fake good"

New material is starting to feel a bit punk rock, which I think is the goal for times like this right?

It’s not lost on me that almost everything I’ve released so far this year is not mine - covers, remixes, the like. I’m writing new stuff but I can’t record vocals reliably until this palate expander comes out of my mouth in ~6 weeks. I can’t really pronounce hard e’s and consonant y’s right […]

With all this flack about SoundCloud & Spotify & the rest, @bandcamp has a real opportunity here to invest in & market the heck out of its discovery features, which (to my knowledge) are not AI-driven, as the best-by-a-longshot way to discover new music & find an audience as an independent […]
