#faircamp — Public Fediverse posts

On a related note: I had "Arbitrary pages" (which relates to the whole imprint/contact page topic) in my optional goals list - and this unfortunately will not make it into the release - however :) .. 2.0 introduces a modular, fine-grained differentiation between artist and label pages, meaning that label or not, if you're willing to add some new artists to your roster (Johnny Imprint, DJ Contact Page, Jane AI Policy ;D) you should probably be able to work around this limitation. ;) (tbc as I still need to try this myself)

#faircamp

I know I said I'm adding no more new features for #faircamp 2.0 due to time constraints, but '^^ ... I know this is going to make a few people very happy, plus the resulting overtime from this will be acceptable, and the new data model - which introduces a differentiation between a "catalog" (of which there can be multiple in faircamp 2.0!) and the "site" (singleton, the catalog in 1.7 terms) - just begged for this to be implemented, so without further ado:

Footer links¹ ! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

¹ On any other occasion I will pedantically insist these are "semantically modelled global links that just happen to appear in the footer (but might appear elsewhere just the same)", but for the occasion I'm making an exception. :D

If I had to pick only one third-party option, I would pick #Faircamp, because I believe in #BeYourOwnPlatform.

I like visiting artist’s personal sites. It’s part of the experience. I like the friction, and I have an RSS reader.

I don’t think the problem is « how to replace the evil streamers » by recreating some kind of mechanism to aggregate stuff from different places.

For more passive enjoyment, there are great internet radios!

I’ve always had a personal music site.

(Edit: and a Bandcamp site)

Then I created a #Faircamp site, because I thought the project and the developper were really cool and aligned with my values. And for the webring!

Then I added my stuff to bandwagon.fm because of the integration with @TheIndieBeat radio.

Much later, I added my stuff to @mirlo because they also seemed cool, and because someone wanted to buy my music (which I no longer publish on bandcamp).

We now have 97 artists in Fairplayer, but we're particularly happy to share the first artist that joined with her #faircamp @helenbellmusic

https://fairplayer.band/player/artist/[email protected]

Sharing is caring! We've been at work so you could easily share music from Fairplayer.

We'll use this opportunity to share some interesting and fun stats.

#fairplayer #faircamp #music

Don't forget! You can download my 3rd and 4th albums here:

https://music.stevesworld.co/

Donations are always appreciated.

I have joined a webring for the site, which is what happens when your web gets a ring around it. They were kind of fun, years ago, when people wanted to find sites in a grab bag sort of way. If you don't find my music to your liking, disliking, or whatever turns you on-liking, you may now peruse a handy collection of Faircamp sites in a most linear fashion.

@internetarchive Just submitted a song to The Public Song Project competition - What Is Home Without You? AND put it up on my #faircamp site here: https://music.theargentgrub.co.uk/some-singles/2/

It was fun to take something from the public domain and work with it. The original song I reworked was 'What is home without a mother' and all the details are on the link above. Thank you Alice Hawthorne and other people's shoulders.

Simon Reeps shares: Some new Faircamp development insights. https://post.lurk.org/@freebliss/116527395739658203 #MusicSites #BandSites #Faircamp #MusicianSites

Yesterday I wrapped up the initial, biggest part of the docs overhaul for #faircamp 2.0 (https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/commit/e606eeb8ec1b3d1300c5ed9febf3d3822d18e04e).

A delightful result of the writing process was how well it reflected what already works or doesn't work in the latest state of 2.0:

For instance, the "links" option was greatly simplified for 99%+ of usecases, but a newly introduced edge case proved to be so absurdly complex to document and understand that I reconsidered the whole thing, and now found another solution that is even simpler than both prior approaches - while completely eliminating the edgecase.

Also, I found that an optional feature I was about to postpone (planning is oh so tight :)) could not possibly be left out, seeing how annoyed I already was while just documenting the inconvenient alternative x) ... so today I started implementing "wildcard settings", which will collaterally enable some niceties that 1.x didn't have, for example:

*.download_formats:
- mp3
- flac

(= configure the available download formats for individual tracks AND entire release downloads in one declaration)

The more pressing need for this in 2.0 is to differentiate default settings at the global level, e.g.:

artist.theme: …
(set the theme for all artists on the site)

v.s.

*.theme: …
(set the theme for the whole site)

Yay! And now back to work ... ^^

Oh and #faircamp 2.0 progress¹ is now ...

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░ 75%

(¹ according to the spreadsheets – let's see what reality says about this when we hit 100% :D)

Some new #faircamp development insights: Faircamp 2.0 will come with an overhauled documentation system – not just in terms of content, but also usability-wise.

The most notable additions will be an interactive search (fully local), an "On this page" table of contents for each page (direly needed for a better overview of the manifest options I think :)), Copy to clipboard functionality for each manifest snippet, and (not visible in the screenshot) access to documentation for previous releases (meaning: when 2.1+ is eventually out and you're still running the 2.0 editor, the documentation links in the graphical interface will still take you to the 2.0 documentation online \o/).

Also: Technically the documentation could (already) be packaged with faircamp releases (it's only ~400kB, uncompressed), allowing for offline documentation access, I just don't have the time resources to adapt packaging for this right now. '^^ (but this will come eventually!)

The Fairplayer Story by Carles Barrobés

2025-07: A musician and a software engineer walk into a bar…

This could be the beginning of a joke, but it’s kind of the origin story of Fairplayer (@fairplayer). Every collective story is a collection of interweaved personal stories, and this is mine.

The musician is Guillem (@blankfosk) and the developer is me, Carles (@txels). The scene is the Guinardó neighbourhood in Barcelona, Catalunya. The conversation focuses on an upcoming boycott to “the streaming platform that must not be named”, boycott that is gathering momentum. Musicians from the local scene are seriously enraged, and want out. Quickly. The genocide in Palestine is on everyone’s minds.

Out of the “S” platform, but where to? We talk about what alternatives are there that won’t end up becoming the same type of extractive enshittified platform. Because we are dreamers from the world of free software and mutual aid, we know there can be alternatives. Guillem is part of a creative collective (anartist.org) that is already on Funkwhale… but he feels Funkwhale is not particularly usable, from the point of view of the listener’s user experience. He suggests exploring creating a “Funkwhale theme” focused on simplicity. I suggest “what about a player that is just a client for the Funkwhale API?”.

After that chat we get all pumped. Guillem starts creating some designs in Penpot. He is on fire. I guess he’s not sleeping much from excitement and working on this. I tell him I am going on vacation, we’ll catch up in September.

2025-09: Let’s get started

Back from vacation, recharged and ready to start. We iterate on the concept of decentralisation. We decide that the platform should not be tied to Funkwhale alone, rather a more universal “play music from a decentralised ecosystem” – multiple music “catalogs” that are indexed by a player that acts as a “hub”. We build a simplistic proof of concept catalog (just to have some initial way to upload music), and we start working on the player.

We don’t have a name yet. We think we are facilitating an “Exodus” from one platform, so we name those first components the “Exocatalog” and “Exoplayer”. (I’m really glad we didn’t stick with that name. We shouldn’t define ourselves by what we are against, rather what we are for.)

Mid-September we start talking about this cool tool that musicians use to set up their websites called Faircamp. A friend of Guillem’s (Marcel) has helped him set one up for his small indy label – Radi Solar. We think Faircamp is a great candidate for a decentralised catalog component, and we feel we can offer added value to Faircamp users.

By this time we think the concept of decentralised catalogs could include our own catalog, Faircamp, Funkwhale, and potentially Mirlo and Bandwagon. We are quickly learning about all the exciting things going on in the independent digital music ecosystem – it’s buzzing with activity.

…meanwhile, in a parallel space

While I’m working on tech, Guillem, Marcel and other friends at Anartist have been discussing the intersection of politics and music. How to organise and transform the ecosystem beyond a tool. These concerns had been macerating for a while within @anartist.

2025-10: We have a name

It feels like we made a good decision going for Faircamp as a starting point. It has a community of users that really love the tool and believe in self-hosting their music. And Simon Repp (@freebliss), the Faircamp developer, is a fantastic human being.

We start using the name “Fairplayer” (you may at this point realise where we got inspiration from) and manage to register some domains, including fairplayer.band.

In parallel, things are moving (slowly but surely) in the activism space (led by a group we call La instrumental, which has the same two meanings as in English, because we like puns), with the idea of organising as a cooperative. Temptative name “Mistu” (which sounds like the catalan name for “match” as in the small thing that you can strike to make fire).

We know that it could take a long time for the local musicians collective action to get organised, but we can start experimenting with tech in parallel, to show what is possible, to open up scenarios. And organised collective action can be hard, and may eventually fail… so in the worst case, if that mobilisation doesn’t prosper, at least we can leave a legacy that Faircamp users can benefit from.

In the meantime, Guillem the big motivator is getting a bunch of people eager to join Fairplayer. We will make a presentation of what we have done so far and where we think this could go.

2025-11: The team grows

First encounter with new people interested in participating: Sofi, Macià, Juan Diego aka Tlayoyo, Vera, Victor… I may forget some. For the first time I realise this will be nothing like than my previous typical “activist software” experiences, mostly solo or duo endeavours. I panic. The codebase is not ready. I am not ready. But it is the good kind of panic, like when you’re slowly getting to the top of a rollercoaster.

The new people will bring diverse skills and perspectives to Fairplayer: UX, design, community outreach, management/organising skills… Suddenly I’m a part of something bigger, that will soon become part of something even bigger.

2026-02: “First Movement” – the soft local launch

Getting ready for the big reveal. “La instrumental” has organised a full-day session to present the big ideas to a large group of artists, by the name “Primer Moviment” (catalan for “First Movement” – musical puns strike again). There will be a few panels where various cooperatives will talk about their experience, and we’ll demo Fairplayer. The goal is to make it tangible to the artists that we can own our destiny, govern ourselves cooperatively, create our own tools, and not be at the mercy of capitalist monopolies.

The build up has been stressful for us at the product team. Misaligned ambitions and expectations, last minute changes… but we have a working product, where people can self-signup to, and add their Faircamps to the player. The team is tingling with anticipation.

The day unfolds and it feels like a big success. The audience engages, there is a great positive energy in the room. We have opened up the collective imagination, we now have more people who believes it is possible. We are not that crazy after all. Or at least we are not alone in our crazy.

The outcomes: there seems to be enough interest in creating a listeners cooperative, and we think it is possible to do this with our own and existing free software tools.

2026-03 – The Fediverse launch

I had been looking forward to this for quite some weeks, and the day has finally come. The public announcement of Fairplayer to the Fediverse (where a number of Faircamp users seem to hang out), and general availability signup.

Post by @[email protected] View on Mastodon

Up to now, we had been reaching out to individual Faircamp musicians we thought would be receptive to the idea, and had found a few early adopters, as well as skeptics and non-responders. Among the early adopters the reception had been good, the feedback was encouraging, although they were very few, and I wasn’t sure how representative they could be.

I would like to take this opportunity to give heartfelt thanks to @helenbellmusic @kidlightbulbs and @james for the email exchanges and chats, and being receptive to a random dude from the interwebs emailing them about “yet another independent music platform”. They were the first people outside of our “inner circle of local artists” to join Fairplayer.

Also thanks to the great efforts of @sofisoft reaching out to local bands and labels and helping them get into Fairplayer via our Faircamp install parties. Sofi is probably responsible for getting half of the current artists in Fairplayer. We love you Sofi.

2026-04 – finally, fairplayer.org

So… in the rush to ship something that people could start using, we knew we had taken some shortcuts. One of those shortcuts was having a site that explained the project… this had been long planned and slowly in the making (due to the perennial lack of hands of volunteer projects), but we launched at last! fairplayer.org is live.

It’s still a work in progress (as these things always are), but it starts to show more of the picture.

And meanwhile Mistu, the listeners cooperative, is in the womb, getting ready to be born, nurtured by a growing group of people. Labour expected sometime after the summer.

Enough origin, what is the destination story?

There is something about the fascination with origin stories, in particular for tech companies (and possibly in the anglosaxon culture), that makes me cringe a bit.

A couple dudes (they are always dudes) in a garage or uni dorm (because they have the privilege to afford either of those) in a first world country (close to finance capital, another privilege) work on something that becomes a world success. Purely based on “their own merits”.

But to me, much more important than the origin story, is the destination story. The fact that those companies with romanticized beginnings ended up as horror movies: monopolistic giants that invade their users’ privacy, exploit the content that users created without rewarding their authors, and invariably follow the enshittification path that every capitalist-funded company ends up trodding: achieve market domination, use that to squeeze as much value as possible out of producers and consumers… we’ve seen that too often.

So, what is the destination story of Fairplayer? What is the future we want to create?

The short term reality: diverge to converge

We’ve come to an interesting point, that we had somehow anticipated. We now have shipped something of value which we call “Fairplayer for Faircamp”, and in the meantime the local “listener’s cooperative” Mistu is starting to take shape.

We know that short term the “Fairplayer for Mistu” and “next steps for Fairplayer.band beyond Faircamp” will have different priorities, so they may eventually be handled as separate projects in the short run, feeding from different needs and desires.

…diverge

What is “Fairplayer for Mistu” aka “local-first” Fairplayer?

• Built with and for the local community,
• It will probably prioritise tools to promote the local scene, bands near you, concerts and other events “in meatspace”, to de-virtualize music
• Much of the outreach and participation will be via local events near Barcelona

What is “Fairplayer in the larger independent digital music ecosystem”, aka “streaming-first” Fairplayer?

• Built as part of a system of like-minded projects (starting with Mirlo)
• Create a communication channel with artists that are contributing to the platform via their Faircamp sites so they can be more involved in the future of Fairplayer
• Focus on interoperability formats and protocols
• Double down on “what does it take to create a resilient decentralised platform”, e.g. by supporting Faircamp owners with monitoring/alerts, finding ways to compensate hosting expenses…
• Most of the outreach will happen in the Fediverse

I imagine these two collectives will have different needs, so we will most likely be running two separate instances, based on the same software although they may have different sets of outward-facing functionality.

…converge

BUT… eventually both efforts should reinfoce each other, and at some point we have a Fairplayer platform that:

• A community of place, purpose or passion can self-host and run
• Allows uniting around a scene, which can be a locality (Barcelona), a genre (reggae), or a shared purpose (creative commons music, archival material for folklore preservation…).
• Each community can decide the rules of governance, compensation, participation…
• You can connect the player to your sources of music (the catalogs) which can be different technologies, running on domains you own (individually or collectively)
• Multiple Fairplayer instances, each run by their community, agree to share content, and have mutual understanding for cross-compensation

The mycellial network of independent music platforms

This is where we come back to where we started, but with a much better knowledge of what’s out there, and some friends we’ve made along the way. When we say we want to facilitate a decentralised music ecosystem, what is it really the role we see ourselves playing among the Faircamps / Mirlos / Funkwhales / Bandwagons and other song creatures of the digital?

First and foremost I would love for Fairplayer to be the glue, the mycellium, the connective tissue that makes it possible that various systems work together, even those that were designed to work in isolation like Faircamp.

Because Fairplayer is a hub, an index, that wants to learn how to talk to different platforms, and wants to define the protocols that make that possible. It can thus become the missing integration point across diverse projects. Those projects may not have the capacity to talk to each other, but if Fairplayer can read and Fairplayer can (re)share those contents, and provide some compensation layer, then even a simple self-managed static website can become a piece in a large music ecosystem that one can be proud to be a part of.

A resilient ecosystem that no capitalist can buy.

A summary of our values

As we start putting our values in writing, this is our working draft summary of what we stand for:

• Collective ownership beats client-provider relationships: participatory, constructive, optimistic.
• People centric beats tech-centric.
• Cooperation beats competition: free software, free and universal culture.
• Inclusivity beats uniformity: simple, diverse and for all audiences.
• Community beats individualism: mutual aid, attentive to already existing (local) collectives.
• Decentralisation beats centralisation: a federated, local blueprint that can be universally replicated.
• Sustainability beats accelerationism: inspired by degrowth, rooted in slow rhythms and emotions.

Today I bought faircamp.org :) – the website and everything will be gradually moving there for the 2.0 release over the next weeks and months! \o/

This is for one a signal of commitment and that I intend for faircamp to be around in the long term (I've been at it for 5 years already :)), but also, it'd be nice to co-own and co-operate the domain with the community at some point in the future, hence also the gradual move away from my own domain.

#faircamp

Il doppio album di #DM7, uscito lo scorso anno e costituito dai dischi "Lunar Eclipse" ed "Eclissi Solare", è finalmente disponibile per lo streaming e il download copyleft sulla nostra piattaforma realizzata con #faircamp. DM7 è in arte Daniele Mattioni, conosciuto anche come Sebastian Brown. I due dischi rappresentano un viaggio spirituale in italiano e in inglese attraverso il folk psichedelico, il grunge e oltre. Daniele sta già lavorando al suo prossimo disco in uscita per Beautiful Losers.

My new EP - Comic Capers is out now! For this EP I set out to capture the spirit of my youth with the vibe I think my 16 year old self would've appreciated had the tools and the knowledge been avaiable to me back then.

There's 4 tracks, each a tribute to something from my youth, be that to Public Enemy, Run DMC, Scooby Doo or the original Eastenders cast, every track has an ignorant stupidity about it that I really like.

Expect breakbeats, electro, and dubwise funny noises.

Only avaiable on digital formats I think are cool, namely Mirlo, BandwagonFM, Bandcamp or RSS/Podcasting 2.0.

Spotify can go fuck themselves in the fucking fuck.

All working on a name your price or v4v model, financial intereactions are obviously welcome but you can access whatever your situation, you can just nick it if you're a bit of a geezer, entirely your choice.

friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you again help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of the sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, #dance, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

It's been a rough and expensive week at the oontz farm and super quiet here in the digital neighbourhood.

Could you:

- Chuck me a follow here and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

- Check out my growing #peertube channel including footage from my NHAM/tibTV concert. @controlfreak https://makertube.net/c/controlfreak_channel/videos

- Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic https://music.control.org/replicate1/

- In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game, physical installation space, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions for remix and sound assets and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

- Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people. https://control.org/#solidarity

- boosts on things from my feed are swell but EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my shows, releases, remixes? I have no idea what to say.

Thanks for your help.

I like cleaning drains more than doing promo waffle but I did an interview about the REPLICATE 1.0 release and more:

What I track on my LAN's #Forgejo instance:
- documentation
- #GoHugo and #FairCamp web sites
- #ObsidianMD notebooks
- #Inkscape projects
- #ReaperDAW projects
- Various GitHub projects, mirrored so I don't have to interact with GitHub directly

The only other users are my kids, so whatever goes wrong is generally my own fault.

This is all particularly helpful as I often switch between a Mac and several Linux machines, so it's a consistent way to share things.

Apparently it's Musician's Day... guess that makes it a good day to point you to my Faircamp site. There are also Mirlo and Bancamp links to be found on the pages for individual projects should you prefer.

friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of he sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking. Last year I arted hard and I am trying to art even harder this year with your help.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

Could you:

- Chuck me a follow and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

- Mark your calendar to attend and maybe help hype and promote this weeks free #live online #concert where I am kicking off the new @nham presents series on TIBtv. 19th march 2100 UTC at @tibtvnowplayingbot . It's kind of a big deal in our small pond. The friends and colleagues hosting and the regular attendees are rad and you will love the #community vibes in chat. #joinIn and ride the #fediwave. You might even like the #oontz too!

- Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? Going to play some that I hadn't in last years' shows, plus sneak debut something from 2.0 at the live show this week. #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic

- In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game assets, loops and beats, physical installation space, remix, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

- Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people.

- #boostswelcome these things OR EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my previous shows, releases, remixes?

All the above things are in bio and pinned posts.

Thanks for your help.

Apropos of #BlackHistoryMonth, I present a song I wrote in commentary on the burden of the oppressed to fashion beauty from the void.
