The ability to play music as streams on #Bandcamp hinges entirely on sidestepping the complex royalty systems that govern streaming platforms. Some thoughts on Bandcamp's public playlists and our own implementation of them. mirlo.space/team/posts/P... #Playlists #Blog #Music #Musicians

Mirlo offers another perspective on Bandcamp playlists https://mirlo.space/... #Copyright #royalties

This week's recommendation comes all the way from Normandy, France, with swirling and swooping orchestral sounds woven around crispy drums, Battles-esque percussion and squelchy synths. "Courants Ascendants" by R!GA is on #Mirlo below. πŸ¦β€β¬› mirlo.space/rigz/release... #MirloMondays

Subjam (@[email protected]) is looking to build a platform for live and local music streaming. Check out their #crowdfunding campaign! www.indiegogo.com/projects/sub... #Music #LiveMusic #Musicians #Musodon #Live #OpenSource

If you're not familiar with @mirlo.space it's a cool new online music marketplace, not unlike Bandcamp but with some different features. mirlo.space/timerival/re...

It is short, but so very sweet. This is ambient-folk at its best. I really love this album from @muz4now.com over on @mirlo.space. #Ambient #Folk #IndieMusic

Today's pick for #MirloMondays is by Rrrrrose Azerty, from Marseille, blending melancholic, lo-fi synth textures, post-punk vocals and even folk stylings to create this gem from 2019. πŸŽ§πŸ¦β€β¬› mirlo.space/rrrrrose-aze... #Music #MusicIsMutual #Electronic #Lofi #Mirlo #NewMusic #NowPlaying

We recognise the importance of community and autonomy within music and we've been working away behind the scenes to allow folks to eventually self-install, without the need for DevOps experience. πŸ’»πŸ¦β€β¬› If you'd like to know more or get involved : mirlo.space/team/posts/2... #Fedi #Fediverse #Music

A couple of weeks ago we rolled out the ability to sell individual tracks. Folks were excited, but the first feedback we got was to let people set the price in bulk for all tracks on an album. You can now do that! β˜‘οΈ Take a look: mirlo.space #Music #Musicians #Mirlo #New #Features #News

Just renewed my annual food co-op membership fee. Paying the fee is worth the benefits and is one reason I do 90% of my food shopping at the co-op

If you're looking for something to listen to on your commute and you're interesting in changing the current music landscape, here's us talking on the It Could Happen Here #podcast. play.pocketcasts.com/podcasts/2e9... #Podcasts #Music #Mirlo #Musicians #Independent

Something from @thecreativeindependent.com‬ 🐌: "In the midst of the state of things, it’s nice to remind ourselves of the slow and quiet corners hiding in the folds of the netβ€”like the Wilson Towercamβ€”and to hope that we might continue to build them." thecreativeindependent.com/essays/on-ob...

"In a world of β€œmove fast and break things,” we’ve chosen a different tempo β€” one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty..." πŸ‘‰ bonfirenetworks.org/posts/slow_s...

Sometimes we even have #live sets to discover, like this one from @[email protected], from his #Autechre support in Oslo. mirlo.space/kristoffer-l... #MirloMondays #Electronic #LiveMusic #Music

There will always be something new to add and to build upon with #Mirlo, but it's useful to actually sketch out what it is we're building, to keep track of how far we are, and be able to tell ourselves "this works". πŸ’ͺπŸ¦β€β¬› mirlo.space/team/posts/2... #OpenSource #Updates #Music #Musicians

We've rolled out a very basic "feature flag" system which means that we can let some users test out new features before they're live. Very useful as we start building out our #labels functionality.

Our blog posts now let you play all embedded tracks as a playlist! Which means that if you were into curation, say, you could share Mirlo playlists... πŸŽΆπŸ¦β€β¬› mirlo.space/signup #Playlist #Playlists #Curation #NowListening #NowPlaying #Music #Musodon #Musicians #New #Updates #Blogs

Quite a few of you have asked for the ability to add music that is playable but not downloadable or purchasable. We've now added that! Check it: mirlo.space πŸ’»πŸ¦β€β¬› #New #Features #Music #Mirlo #Musicians #Updates

Following on from an earlier post about documenting culture, we found this map showing zine libraries all over the world . If you're a zine maker or archivist, say hello! πŸ‘‹βœ‚οΈπŸ“šπŸ¦β€β¬› www.zinelibraries.info/directory/ #Zine #Zines #Music #Makers #Archives #Libraries #Archive

My radical leftist homies have been working for two years, still ongoing since it's on their free time, to create a streaming service where only the musicians make money and manage everything exactly how they want.

We've been thinking about how we can make it so that all the people who have been helping us along the way have a say in the project and the product we're building. Here's what we've come up with. πŸ“‹πŸ¦β€β¬› mirlo.space/team/posts/2... #Community #Coops #Music #Mirlo #Blog #Blogs

"I believe in the promise of the open social web. It’s a pro-social alternative to existing social media platforms, which has the potential to support communities and discourse rather than strip-mine them for value."
