Any Canadians here? We'd love to meet you this fall!
Looking for hardcore music
Hi there! I’ll be visiting Ottawa on September long weekend, I was wondering if there were any hardcore shows going on. Thank you in advance!
PSA: Ottawa musicians legal fundraiser
someone asked me to give $ to a fundraiser for a local Ottawa musician's legal issue which I now found out is criminal. they obv didn't want ppl to know because they're so vague about it so psa - do your homework if you're approached by an ottawa musician with a sob story. not sharing deets about open cases obv makes sense but not being honest about being charged criminally is sketch. before you give $ look up the name in the ontario criminal court system, it's public info and you have a right to know even if they're trying to hide it
edit: don't have enough karma to crosspost to ottawa so if anyone can help share, tia
Candlelight concert event using ai art
I keep seeing this ad all over my Instagram for the Fever Candlelight event in Victoria. I’m a huge fan of Joe Hisaishi and Hayao Miyazaki and was thinking about going to this event in Victoria on April 12th but after seeing that they’re using ai art to promote the event I will not be supporting it. For those who don’t know, Hayao Miyazaki (the creator of studio Ghibli) is very against ai and there are currently issues surrounding OpenAI creating studio ghibli style images. It’s frustrating and disappointing to see that an event that is meant to honour the music of Joe Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli is using fake art to promote it when there are many artists who can make beautiful Ghibli style art. Just wanted to give people the heads up if you’re thinking about going to this event.
The dudes who met on this sub have a new record out.
A few years back I spotted Andrew sharing some of his solo stuff on this sub which got my attention and we've been collaborating ever since. This is our third full length and (imo) our best yet. Hopefully a few of you dig it!
Collaborations
Hey there! my names Luke and I’m looking to work with some artists on new music(mostly electronic), I’ve got a good bit of experience producing and I’m always hungry to learn new skills from others, I’ve been making edm for about 7 years now and I feel like I’m at a standstill so I’d love to work on music with people with different skills. Most of my stuff is cinematic/atmospheric but I’ve got lots of experience with all genres of edm. Don’t be afraid to reach out!
