I'd like to find a musician community Lemmy, especially those interested in electronic, hip hop, and emo!

There’s a bunch of communities on waveform.social but as of now I don’t see much in my main feed from them. I’m not sure if it’s just a matter of the niche community taking time to develop or if there’s a better place as of yet. I haven’t done much searching for it in a couple of weeks. I really hope these communities start to flourish here. Have been doing my best to engage what I do see to help grow.

Hello! Been producing music in FL Studio for nearly 15 years. I make electronic and hip hop, coincidentally

Would love to hear some of your stuff! Are you on matrix? I can't see your DM on mobile.

Have you found any active communities on Lemmy or Kbin for production?

[–] ellesper 2 points 1 year ago

No, not so far

All kinds, but mostly working in hard rock, industrial, electronic music.

I make a small income from commercial music for videogames, web series, advertisements, as well as ghostwriting and production. Here is an example of a more recent gaming project.

I have a few albums on Spotify of my personal music - collaborating with a singer friend.

Been writing music for… close to 20 years. I use Bitwig as my DAW of choice but used to be on trackers (Renoise) for a good chunk of it. Also a lot of experience in Logic, Pro Tools, Sony Acid (when that was a thing).

How'd you get into ghostwriting?

During the pandemic, I started a Fiverr account doing music for rock bottom prices. That’s pretty much it. Took about 4-5 days for the first gig to come in.

Once I got some good reviews under my belt, more people got interested - and I raised prices to match demand.

At some point, I started getting repeat customers who’d want to do bulk deals off-Fiverr and we started negotiating. Sometimes they’d recommend friends to come to you. There’s a lot of singers out there who have vague ideas they want to see it come to life. There’s a lot of bands out there who need songwriting support. All sorts of different projects, really. It’s pretty constant.

I make textile based ritual powerdrone (loom/spinning-wheel etc) + voice + maxmsp + jitter for visuals

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I make some stuff, but it's mostly just for myself. From things like remixing the Mario Galaxy lullaby theme to 8bit sounding stuff to covering the opening theme of one punch man. Just shit that seems like a challenge and seems fun

Hi, I make music. Kinda hard to say what genre, it is definitely close to hip hop. My main project atm is called DJ Ugly Katz, have a listen on spotify or search it yourself on other services.
