Don’t let LIFE beat the ART out of you

[riainceol]

Dia daoibh, is mise Riain Mac Aoidh, I’m an independent musician from the North of Ireland.

Today is Bandcamp Friday and whilst I don’t have anything new to share today, did you know that my back catalogue contains a bunch of cool songs, and if you’re reading this post it’s about stuff you probably also care about?

Let’s take a look at a couple of my personal favourites.

Damocles is a song about the struggle of living under a society that wants you dead, as if the inevitability of the world turning on you is a constant pressure. I specifically wrote about my own experience with autism but we’re far from the only people who live with that pressure and doom.

Quite An Experience To Live In Fear was written about the “trans panic” in the UK and the US. While it is difficult to live with that spectre looming over you, the title is actually a reference to the people pushing transphobia. People like JK Rowling who have so much money and are granted ultimate security by capitalism are wasting their days in a quixotic campaign against normal people just trying to live their lives. They’re fascists, and fascists are ultimately cowards. They live in fear and drown in hate.

Dead Trees is a song about the older generations and their refusal to pay their lives forward to everyone coming after them. They stand towering over us in society in terms of wealth and influence and they might think they’ll be in that position forever, like towering pagodas, but wooden towers are just dead trees, and everyone dies.

The Kobold stands between you and your goal. He alone holds the key and in order to defeat him you must speak his name aloud for names have power, yet Kobold’s lie. I admit the dungeon music is very out of step with everything else on this list but it’s so fun to make.

I would have loved to have some new music available today but I recently relocated and am not set up to work. In fact I’ve been in this transition for a good couple of months now. If you’ve never supported my music before, now is a really good time to do so, as it helps this process go smoother for me and gets me back on track as soon as possible.

You can find these tracks and loads more like them here.

And if you can’t afford to buy anything right now, all of my music on my Bandcamp page has unlimited plays.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh agus Bandcamp Friday shona daoibh.

My song called "Anorexia" I actually like it for the most part but hopefully I can improve it

[mistergraymatters]

first post holy shit

OKAY, GM!!! my name is jackson, you can also call me gray or graymatters if that's your preference!

my plan for this blog is a few various things. first of all, and this is the main reason i'm making it, I want to get over my issue with releasing music. I make a LOT of music, basically all of my time is spent working on it, and then I never put it anywhere for anyone to see. I'm gonna stop doing that. I want people to see it, I want to know what people think, I can't grow in a vacuum. the hope is that this blog will serve as a place where I can put whatever i'm working on at the time, talk about it a little bit, and just set it down and let people engage with it if they want to.

second facet of the plan is that I want to make music friends!! I listen to a lot of stuff, I have a lot of influences. I don't have a lot of friends who make music themselves or anything and I think it'd be cool to collaborate. tumblr seems like it's got a good community for artsy stuff so I figure this is a good starting place. if you like music a lot or you make music, feel totally free to shoot me a message. it says it in my bio but i'm always down to chat.

ALSO SPEAKING OF HERE'S SOME MUSIC

(this one doesn't have any lyrics, thought an instrumental would be a fun start)

untitled for the moment - graymatters

Art is basically an extension of the worst and best sides of you combined so yeah when someone says they don’t like it, it’s pretty personal

[aeolianblues]

HUGE. That’s 45,000 tickets!

I am strangely proud of them? It’s a big moment that a still-independent band that has grown in this economy can sell out half the size of Wembley within 5 years of their first album. I don’t care if you are or aren’t a fan of their music. This is a landmark for independent music in the 2020s, mark my words.
