I open a twitter account….it will be mainly an automatic feed of the posts of this blog +  the favourites of my soundcloud.

funny enough there was already a mauxuam…so I registered as salamaundra.

i am not into the “best of the year” pools.

we probably going to see pretty soon more of this web music software
soon no need of Ableton anymore

the tonematrix

well…I double post this also here….since I am kind of proud of it…as you can see I have a serious internet habit…

this is a long story…to cut it short…in Australia there are ridicolous download limits on your internet connection..and sometime they count your uploads too…

and I wasn’t aware of that at the beginning….so during the Cloudcycle production process I ended up with this bill (while I was house sitting for Ziv) : 22.333 $ (150$ for any extra giga over 60….can you believe it ???)

after some understandable panic…and many worries…finally yesterday the company cancel it

(thank for having mercy of us…telstra)…..pfffffff

(not a good day)
I had enough of Last.fm…they are not reliable…and their attitude towards little artists like me SUCKS.
once you uploaded some of YOUR music…it can easily happens that they move it to another account and you can’t manage it anymore !!!
(it did happen with some of the tracks of Cloudcycle that got attributed to Greg…or even more absurd Moreno who can’t access Peak Records catalogue..and his own royalties…).
on the top of that they now collecting money from listeners in many parts of the planet..but they seem to not share this income with us
(but probably only with BIG publishing companies) and even when they aknowledge that some money is due to you (case of Master Margherita) they actually not paying it.
this all generally attitude as I said (and I like to repeat) SUCKS ! … it’s a RIP OFF…(shame that my english vocaboulary is short of insults)..

this is why today I took off all my music from last.fm
(at least the one I could access…because some of the music on my name is managed by somebody elses…interchill maybe ?)

and I think that all of us microscopic music makers should do the same…and leave them with only rotten mainstream.

cheers
