over the past few months my routine got a bit busier and i somehow ended up spending way less time online. which was probably good for me, but it also meant i completely fell out of the loop with new music, internet discussions, releases, etc.

one thing i particularly stopped keeping up with was live sessions. i’ve always been a bit of a kexp / tiny desk / la blogothèque rat, so i realized at some point that i hadn’t checked any of those channels in months.

so i made a little script for myself that keeps track of new full sessions from these channels and sends me an email with everything that came out that week. i showed it to a few friends, one of them asked if i could add him to the emails, and eventually i thought… why not just make it public?

so that’s basically how motif happened. it’s a free weekly newsletter that goes out every friday with links to full sessions from kexp, tiny desk, audiotree, la blogothèque and cultura livre (a brazilian music channel, i’m from brazil btw).

if that sounds like something you’d enjoy, it’s here: http://motifnewsletter.com

i’ve been running the thing locally for myself for a while, but the public version only went live last friday, so it’s still very much a work in progress. if you find any bugs or have suggestions for other channels i should add, i’d love to hear them. i might also start adding some personal curation/reviews eventually if enough people end up using it.

hopefully this is allowed here, it’s completely free and there’s no commercial thing behind it, just a little music project i made because i wanted it for myself.

Over the past few months, my routine started getting a bit busier and my free time became more and more scarce, so, unintentionally, I ended up cutting down on my screen time. The downside, though, was that I also stopped keeping up with news, new releases, discussions on the internet in general, and one of the main things where I started feeling like I was “out of the loop” was the bands and artists getting coverage.

I’ve always been a bit of a KEXP, Tiny Desk, La Blogotheque rat, but lately I realized I’d gone months without keeping up with what was coming out on those channels. So I had the idea of making a simple script that would keep track of all these channels and send me an email roundup of all the full sessions that were being published there. I mentioned the project to a few friends, and one of them asked me to add him to the emails. That’s when it clicked: this could actually be an open newsletter.

And that’s how Motif came about: a weekly newsletter, sent every Friday, that collects links to all the full sessions from KEXP, NPR (Tiny Desks only), Audiotree, La Blogothèque, and Cultura Livre (A Brazilian music channel, I’m from Brazil btw).

The project had been running locally just for me for a little while, but this more polished, public version officially went live last Friday. So if you happen to find any bugs or have any suggestions, feel totally free to let me know. I’m planning to keep adding new channels and sources, and maybe even do some more personal curation and reviews down the line, if the project ends up growing.

PS: I’m not sure if this kind of post is allowed on this sub, but since I figured it might be something people here would be interested in, I decided to post it. The newsletter is completely free and there’s no commercial intent behind it. Just a passion project.

De uns tempos pra cá, a minha rotina começou a ficar um pouco mais cheia e o tempo livre foi ficando escasso, então, de forma não intencional, eu acabei diminuindo meu tempo de tela. Só que, como efeito colateral, eu acabei deixando de me informar e acompanhar notícias, lançamentos, discussões na internet de forma geral, e um dos principais pontos em que eu comecei a sentir que eu estava ficando “de fora” eram as bandas que estavam na mídia.

Eu sempre fui rato da KEXP, Tiny Desk, Cultura Livre, mas ultimamente me peguei há meses sem acompanhar o que andava saindo por lá. Então eu tive a ideia de criar um script simples que analisava todos esses canais e me mandava um resumo por e-mail de todas as lives completas que eram publicadas nesses canais. Eu comentei sobre esse projeto com alguns amigos e um deles me pediu pra incluir ele nos envios. Aí me deu o estalo: isso poderia virar uma newsletter aberta.

Foi assim que surgiu a Motif: uma newsletter semanal, enviada toda sexta-feira, que agrega os links de todas as apresentações completas dos canais: KEXP, NPR (só os Tiny Desks), Audiotree, La Blogoteque e Cultura Livre.

Pra quem quiser se cadastrar,o link é: http://motifnewsletter.com

O projeto já rodava localmente só pra mim há um tempinho, mas essa versão mais bem polida e aberta ao público foi ao ar oficialmente ontem. Então, caso você encontre algum bug ou queira trazer sugestões, fique super à vontade. Tenho planos de ir incrementando novos canais, novas fontes de conteúdo e, quem sabe, até um trabalho mais pessoal de curadoria e reviews, caso o projeto vá crescendo.

PS: Não sei se esse tipo de post é permitido aqui no sub, mas, por se tratar de algo que eu acho que pode ser do interesse do grupo, resolvi postar. A newsletter é totalmente gratuita e não possui intuito comercial. É um projeto pessoal meu mesmo.
