@q hello, how are you? Nice to see a new follow

@jesu
doing well! i like your blog :D

@q thanks! the hugo theme is something that took me a bit to get right... I'm mainly putting music and art/music related posts on it.. I still have to properly translate Boris' flood

Anything catch your eye?

@q did you happen to hear my music? I wonder.. do you have any works you want to share?

@jesu
I fuck with the minimalism. You're cultural eugenics post was the only one i read so far and it is kinda relevant to something that happened in my life recently. Didn't know about the concept.

Also listening to ur music now actually, glad to meet another musician on here :D

@q Thanks! Ah, yeah, that one is a bit of a spiteful post, I sort of coined the term Cultural Eugenics, it's something that's been prevalent since the Red Scare and WWI... what happened in your life related to this, if I may ask? No need to divulge if you don't want to...

Ahh, I'd recommend A Mark and Freedom, In Time is long if you don't mind that... Thank you for listening!

@q I see you have xmpp, feel free to add me if you desire

@jesu
You a guitar player I gather. And i'm listening to some of ur ambient works. I'm kinda similar. I much prefer the music I make for moridori but heres a track I made thats kinda similar to what u do. https://moridori.xyz/noise/morisuki/enamoured.mp3.html

@q yeah, these are made with a tele, a pedalboard and amp, no overdubs unless mentioned.. I'll listen, thanks for sharing :)

@jesu
same with me LOL. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to prod stuff so I usually go all in one shot.

@q I need to make more music, I've got no gear as a result of theft, I'm working on gathering up equipment...

@jesu
a lot there my friend. pretty much just local scene drama. its kinda surprising how anti art ppl are for most (at least locally) its just a popularity contest, and I used to not be a cynic with that shit XD.

@jesu
real. most my shit is lent to me funny enough i get you hella!

@q I'm fairly cynical about the scene near me, it's ruled by money and popularity, personally I'm happy just playing a show, things tend to be more high stakes than others... Sad really..

@q I am enjoying your track Enamoured, I dig the organ tones, textures are nice, the 4' runtime doesn't drag or run on too long, it's a pretty song... may I ask, which songs did you listen to? Any other blog stuff catch your eye?

@q how long have you been on fedi?

@jesu
haha you fucking get it. I find hope in trying to build the space I wanna see. Doing that rn lol.

@q I enjoyed playing at a local mexican place that had jazz tuesdays and metal acts on the weekends.. low stakes shows are so comfy

@q an online culture used to be harder to make than it is now.. best of luck, count me in

@jesu
this instance is very new. but ive been around on various dead servers for 6 years now.

@q ahh, long time user... I've been around since 2017.. Nice to meet another OG

@jesu
Really fucking with ur A Mark ep rn, it blends real nicely and its giving me visions of a post apocalyptic city scape at night, i kinda just feel like a ghost taking in the place, its a good vibe.

@q Ah, that was a fun one, I'm glad you enjoyed it.. It's a "reimagining" of Freedom, I wanna say it's my most concise of all of my works.. I really solidified my style with that one.. thanks again for listening.. I like your site btw, has a real geocities feel to it, classic web feel..

@q The blog post I most recommend are these btw: https://jeru.neocities.org/music/birdsong/

@jesu
hey thanks for checking out my stuff too means so much :). Glad you like it gives me motivation to keep going lol. Inspiring u get ur sound with a guitar and pedals, makes me wanna try some new stuff lol so tysm.

the site is all made by me lol so thanks for the compliment. got so much planned for it, i just love making stuff for my websites.

@q no problems! Ahh, yeah I spent like a year and a half refining stuff to get ready, I just wish I recorded more often.. Some of the stuff I played spontaneously wasn't recorded, they were practice jams..

Nice, yeah same here, feels good to get a good blog post going.. How long have you been playing music?

@q any more stuff on the bandcamp you recommend?

@jesu
been playing music for a long time, in a band and actually producing shit like 3 years.

@jesu
