Negativity and spam

36 Upvotes

It seems we have had a large uptick in content lately which is great, unfortunately this has also driven negative comments and false reports.

This subreddit is here for people of all skill levels and while some level of criticism is important, please do try to keep things on the positive side and don't just downvote things that you don't like, we are very fortunate to live in a city with an extremely diverse music scene, this means there will always be music not catered to your tastes being made, downvoting things out of hand or because you think its "bad" is not how I would like to see this sub go on

That being said...

We need to have a conversation about spam

I understand that with the rise of TikTok shorter clips have become the norm and you are more than welcome to post any work you do here, but I am going to restrict users to posting ONE clip/vid/link per song per day, I don't care if it's a 5 second cover of "You Suffer" or a 6 hr prog rock epic, if you post multiple clips of the same song on the same day, they will be removed, if it continues, so will you.

As a moderator I want to be as hands off as I can, leaving this as much like a community noticeboard as possible, but mostly I want everyone who uses this space to have a positive experience, this means curbing negative behaviour and making sure that people don't have to wade through a sea of the same content over and over

Thank you for reading

Moderation - New rule

52 Upvotes

I know the SR is a bit rudderless, I'm here to tell you I still check in on posts. Between raising a family, work, gym, music and all the other shit we have to do in post-modern life I have little time to be moderating a subreddit so, I'm not going to tolerate misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc etc.

New rule, Don't be a cunt. No, I'm not going to talk about it, cant be fucked. I'll just ban you, message me, ill probably say something funny and rude, this will be entirely at my own discretion.

I will not tolerate intolerance

Cheers :P

My band is playing there first ever show at the workers club!

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone, never thought I'd be making one of these posts lol.

My band Trashcore is somehow playing a headline matinee show at The Workers Club in Fitzroy on Saturday, November 28th. We are completely winging it, still trying to figure out how all this live music stuff works, and honestly terrified, but we've got a 30-minute set ready to go.

Doors are at 1:00 PM so it's an early one. Tickets are $14.80 if anyone is around Melbourne and wants to come hang out, drink some soft drinks, and support some absolute amateurs trying their best. It would honestly mean the world to see a friendly face in the crowd!

Here is the ticket link if you're keen: https://theworkersclub.oztix.com.au/outlet/event/39f7d2b0-a498-45c5-9bbb-f758977f76a6

Looking for two “singers”

Hey 22 year old man here, bit of an odd post but I’m looking for two singers to do cherryoke with at cherry bar.

Was hoping if there would be two others interested in dressing up and singing “fight for your right” by beastie boys.

Let me know if anyone would be down!

CELLSEQ / TESSERA / HALF-LIFE

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Three iOS plugins I'm working on, all for AUM:

CELLSEQ: a spreadsheet-style MIDI sequencer. Every cell is a note or an operator, with ratchets, cuts and chops, and a generator.

Tessera: a layered, path-based sequencer. Pulses travel along tiled paths across stacked floors. Gates, chords, and shafts between floors. Distance from the start shapes velocity and filter.

Halflife: an audio effect built on pharmacology. Dose a body and each drug rises, peaks, crosses the blood-brain barrier and fades. Its brain chemistry bends your audio, and the sound glitches if you overdose.

Still testing.

I'm putting on my first gig at The Tote to raise money for Palestinian children!

Post image
241 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on organising my first ever gig here in Melbourne, called Mosh for Palestine, and it's happening in just under two weeks at The Tote!

We've got three local bands playing, with the night raising funds in support of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.

I've been organising this independently and it's been a pretty exciting experience getting everything together. I'd really love to see a good turnout, both to support the bands and to raise as much money as we can for the cause.

PCRF provides free medical care, specialized surgeries, and humanitarian relief to injured and ill children in the Levant (including Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt), regardless of their nationality or religion Source.

If you're into checking out local live music, I'd love for you to come down!

Date: November 8th

Venue: The Tote, Collingwood

Lineup: Heavy Delay, the cufflinx, your last words

Tickets: https://tickets.oztix.com.au/outlet/event/37aff478-c0c6-4101-bac5-565f80222df4?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAcGRvZgJzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAaf_Hg5ujD8Vt2WDSV9LsMwF1GSbzf86TGNI4C7glZV2cjw7J4MYIi0GnnBfCw_aem_UAUVfBbc8LriQqAPtlRGNQ&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3_a1dennha05qwgy

Would also love to hear from anyone who's organised similar gigs in Melbourne!
