⤷ ゛it’s bandcamp friday! ˎˊ˗

that means all fees are waived and 100% of profit goes directly to the artist. it’s a great way to support the music you enjoy!

last week i dropped my new album stutter, here’s a little sampler ~

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

i had the pleasure of chatting with lewis for bandcamp about my EARTHBLADE album that released earlier this year

Lewis Gordon @lewisgordon.bsky.social · Jun 12

I come bearing Earthblade gifts via @bandcamp.com: an interview with composer @lena.fyi about writing its highly ambitious, dynamic soundtrack. Enjoy.

The feeling of battling autocorrect to spell the video game reference correctly, and then after 3 corrections, at the last second as I press “Send” it pivots back to being a typo
