Thanks for rounding up all the awesome releases. So much great music coming out from this community.

@Jacopo Ramonda ah, that’s really nice to hear! Thank you so much.

I’m joining the April releases again today with an EP of my more jazzy stuff and a brand new song ‘Out of the Dark’, that is probably my most guitarwavy song yet. A lot of Khruangbin listening went into the making of that one. The beat is played on the guitar with some added percussion. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/friendfromwork/out-of-the-dark

@Joe Cabrera Hey. Yeah, the whole beat is made on the guitar with some added reverb. But I also added a very low hi-hat in Logic, but the rest is the guitar.

Hey guys. A little late to the discussion, but as I understand you don’t pay the 30%, for streams for instance from Nat’s playlists and so on. When Discovery Mode is turned on for a song, Spotify charges a commission on streams of that song in Discovery Mode contexts. All streams in other contexts are commission-free.

Hey guys. I’m Peter Monrad from Copenhagen, Denmark and I release my tracks as ‘Friend from Work’. I’ve been playing music for almost 30 years, originally bass, and been in many different bands and setups. When I graduated from the university back in 2003 and started working full time as a creative director and graphic designer I slowly stopped playing in bands. Then I had two kids and at some point I almost never touched an instrument. How sad it was. Then around 2020 I finally got first Garage band then Logic Pro and started making music at home, when the kids were sleeping. That led to a lot of lofi beats and hiphop under the name Tiny Anthem. I gradually lost interest in the genre because of all the generic stuff that was coming out (I really liked Tom Misch’ Beat Tape 2) and I started doing more atmospheric guitar stuff. After I released my first two tracks I moved to Sky Valley Records and really like this set up. I now work four days a week at a communications agency and have one day off for making music and videos. I spend a lot more time than that one day on music, but the setup works great for me. I have four guitars that I switch between and the favorite changes pr song. I often record the same parts on different guitars and then decide afterwards. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

@Jane Annoff Hey Jane. That one is my telecaster on the neck pickup for the intro main guitar arpeggio and then the same tele on the bridge pickup for the theme with a Strymon Flint tremolo on as well. But my Strat could sound very similar.

@Martin Eibisch hey Martin. Thanks for the many interesting inputs. Just a short answer from now regarding the add to the playlist. The Ambient Post-Rock has 123.590 and with my placement a bit down on the list it amount to around 50 plays a day. Sometimes a bit more, but not anything crazy.
