Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.

Reminder: This friday (December 5th) is Bandcamp Friday! That means 100% of the proceeds from album sales on Bandcamp go directly to the artists you buy from.

Hey! It’s been a while. I’ve mostly been using the blog proper instead of the front page of our site but here’s an important read on why we’ve removed all of our music from Spotify

New Music!

In November of 2023, Cohost.org user HBV started a site-wide friendly composer competition; each month or so they would put out a prompt on a predetermined Saturday morning, and participants had until midnight to write, record and post a song using said prompt - with the caveat that they should only spend 1-2 hours on the track.

This became known as “Compost” (truncated from Cohost Composer One Hour Battle)

Original archived post here

With the shutdown of Cohost.org coming in October of 2024, I wanted to preserve the six songs I did during the run of the event and toss them on Bandcamp as a Free EP.

A reminder that each of these were written, recorded and mixed in roughly 2 hours each, so they’re not nearly as polished as what I’d usually go for but still, I think, worth a listen.

You can find the prompts for each song listed in the track info.

It’s been ten years since After the Lights Failed, and that’s long enough. We proudly present the sequel
