#fairtrademusic — Public Fediverse posts

Would anybody be willing to share recommendations for indie/niche creative or artistic works?

I particularly enjoy Sci-Fi themes and I'm looking for anything from written fiction to music to illustrations. Sprawling interactive pieces or tiny print-only zines.

Whatever works as long as it DOES NOT depend on a giant corporate platform. Also ZERO AI generated content please. Indie, open web stuff only. (Bonus points if it involves some experimental web or network protocol!)

(For context I am experiencing a wave of cynicism about the state of the creative web right now and I need some inspiration to defeat it.)

Please boost for visibility!

On top of Unstream now supporting true releases & release pages, I've started building out a Collection feature. Think of it like your Bandcamp or Mirlo collection but cross-platform - a way to show off music you own & the artists you've supported along the way.

#musicsky #fairtrademusic

Thanks to recent @mirlo and @fairplayer integration, we're now available on #Fairplay too. All it took was switching a button in Profile Settings of our #Mirlo account.

One of the reasons I've been asking here a lot about #unstream is because I had a bit of clarity around where I want it to go.

I wrote about it here if anyone's interested: https://bgreen.lol/ambitions-for-unstream/

#fairtrademusic #indiemusic #supportindependentmusic

Hey is anyone here using #unstream still? What would you want to see me add to it?

I have ideas

Finally got cross-client login & sync working for Unstream!

This means:
- anyone can create a user account on Unstream, not just artists
- you can save artists you want to support on the web app, and those sync to your mac app / browser extension / other devices
- you can optionally publicize your saved artists list, as a bit of social proof (these are a bit sparse now, I want to add more to these

Czech this all out at https://unstream.stream

in somewhat related news, you can now get a physical copy of "free flight" at https://elasticstage.com/bruxadomangue/releases/free-flight-album

available digitally at https://jam.coop/artists/bruxa-do-mangue/albums/free-flight https://lynnsmadmoney.gumroad.com/l/freeflight https://archive.org/details/freeflight-fullalbum-2023 and https://nightmarecho.bandcamp.com/album/free-flight

Fair Trade Music Friday – June 2026 via @ftmf

Finally got most of the pieces in place to turn #unstream into a proper progressive web app: logins for non-artists, saving functionality, eventually release notifications. It works nice when you add it to your phone Home Screen. Kinda obviates the need to deal with app stores.

More to come: https://unstream.stream

Decided to get a li’l punchier with what #unstream is all about

Good Morning!

If you should be in need of some warm synth tones and haunting vocals then you will find links to my bandcamp and subvert on my profile.

You can listen as much as you want, wherever you want, for free.

If you are feeling flush then any support is hugely appreciated 💙 though trust me, i know times are hard.

Thank you and have a really good day!

Hey y’all, Subvert.fm has just launched, a collectively-owned Bandcamp alternative! You can find me there at https://subvert.fm/sockpuppet

Not all of my catalog is there just yet but I’ll be working on getting more stuff there over time.

#fairtrademusic #subvert #bandcamp

Throwing in some basic support for Subvert.fm into #unstream. I need to chat with them about exposing an artists API, but for now you’ll be able to add Subvert links to your verified artist page (or the musicbrainz database) and Unstream will recognize it

#FairTradeMusic #indiemusic #subvertfm

And there are lots of piano interludes throughout

And you can listen to the whole thing here https://music.kidlightbulbs.com/infinite-normal/

I hope it helps

Ok ok but have you listened to my music yet? It's all here for free

https://music.kidlightbulbs.com

#indiemusic #fairtrademusic #alternative

If you can't bring yourself to give any money to the payment processors today, or if you have no money to give, you can still grab some music from my Faircamp page (just enter "0" for the amount).

Fair Trade Music Friday – May 2026 via @ftmf

@ftmf Well, my artist name is Whispering Cosmos, drawing inspiration from Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and a bit of the trip-hop and rock of the 90s.

My latest release is Sailing To Andromeda and you can find it at #bandcamp and #mirlo

I’ve got a beta version of Unstream on iOS, anyone want to try it out? https://testflight.apple.com/join/er87G4kc

It’s a bit different than the Mac app / extensions because detecting music playback is unreliable on iOS. Instead, you can share any song/artist/album from your streaming app to Unstream to save the artist and preview where that artist can be supported. The app puts your saved artists & release alerts front and center 😄

Had a fun idea tonight to add generative AI policy markers to the music platforms in #unstream search results

Shield = generative AI music banned
Flag = the platform detects & flags AI music

Deploying in a few minutes

RE: https://ravenation.club/@CCirco/116381302873363636

It might be that I've got a track (or two?) on the brand bonkin' new Bonk Wave compilation, the first part of which is out today and can be downloaded for free from your favourite #FairtradeMusic platforms!

Why not join us for the live listening party in just under 2 1/2 hours (20:00 UTC) at https://party.bonkwave.org ?

Also, massive thanks to @CCirco for some excellent bonk herding!
