Weather the Storm
A little folk tune I've been working on lately. Took this live take in a field near my house. Probably sounded eerie to dog walkers nearby.

Come Jeff Mangum ha trasformato una tragedia in un capolavoro senza tempo: la storia dietro In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Ciao a tutti, volevo condividere con voi un approfondimento che ho realizzato sui Neutral Milk Hotel. È una storia incredibile e struggente, che parla di come Jeff Mangum sia riuscito a canalizzare la storia, il dolore e lo spirito di Anna Frank in uno degli album più viscerali e intensi mai registrati, prima di ritirarsi misteriosamente dalle scene.
Se vi siete mai chiesti cosa si celi dietro il peso di quelle canzoni e il mistero che circonda la band, potete guardare il video qui:
Mi piacerebbe molto sapere cosa ne pensate e quanto questo disco vi ha segnato nel corso degli anni. Ogni confronto è benvenuto!

Please recommend songs for my playlist!
So, as the title says, this is a playlist with my all-time favorite folk/indie/alt/country songs. I'm not promoting anything, I just want to share the music I absolutely love and just can't live without.
I'm always looking for more songs to add, though not just any song can make it to the playlist. I've posted it on here before and people were kind enough to share songs they think could fit in it, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here's Spotify link:
It's also on YouTube:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Jp6QAfZvxLaaHDtoFugmwDs3vsYnhKI&si=tPC-kSJn6OaWez\_u
Some of these songs barely have any plays/views but, to me at least, were life-changing. This playlist has gotten me through some rough times so I truly hope it can do the same for anyone who finds it!

[16F] Looking for a Producer (15–19) to Collab!

Akal-nneɣ yeqqim — Pure Acoustic Tuareg Desert Blues. Arranged strictly with 4 nylon-string guitars, a calabash, and Tamasheq chants. No synths. 🏜️
Azul everyone,
I’m an independent producer working under the project 'CyberSidq', heavily inspired by the deep Tishoumaren and Assouf movements of the Sahara (like Tinariwen, Imarhan, and Bombino).
With this specific track, "Akal-nneɣ yeqqim" (Our Land Remains), I wanted to strip away all modern electronic production. There are no drum kits, no synths, and no electronic beats. I focused entirely on a strict pentatonic dialogue between 4 nylon-string guitars, anchored only by the deep, hollow pulse of a traditional Calabash.
The goal was to capture the raw, wandering, trance-like state of a lonely night in the Ténéré desert.
I would love to hear feedback from this community, especially from those who appreciate acoustic world music. Does the strict acoustic arrangement translate that 'vast desert' feeling effectively?
Tanemmirt (Thank you)!

Just a dad making music again
Hi Everyone. I used to play music in bands for years all around Connecticut. I got older and then.....I had kids. haha. It's a great thing being a father. You just have to shift priorities to what is important. So, I was unable to go jam, play out etc.
After 4-5 years my boys have grown up a little and I started playing again. I recorded 12 tracks over the past year and would like to share one. Hopefully, some of you can relate! I love writing and playing again now, feels good to be back at it. I will have the full album out for the 4th of July.
