Do you know of a way to get notifications for new releases from artists you follow? That's what I'm missing from "the platforms" right now.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
Video contains acts of violence.
Viewer discretion advised.
In the song "Thin Blue Line" I tried to put myself in the shoes of those who would enforce state-sanctioned violence against innocent people.
I hope we collectively learn from the recent past.
Sadly, lots of this footage is from my capitol city, Melbourne.
Watch the video via Nostube!

Hey @nprofile…ajud in the nostube alerts I see "xxx zapped you video says" but it was for a comment rather than the video and clicking the alert fails to load properly.

Thanks. I used Gimp for the hand drawn style images and imported them into Reaper to render as a video. The PiP effect was a mostly done in Vegas.

Gear stuff! Scooby was always a fav.
Did you happen to see this one?

Used Reaper, I sent the vox to the heads to automate their movement based on volume.
I rendered that video out and put it all together in Da Vinci Resolve. You night not get the Aussie references but Scooby is there.
The female "villain" of the video is the eSafety Commissioner.

Fortunately not my best friend.
The song is based on a newspaper article of a young father dying suddenly and while the mother had been in and out of hospital for months with mystery illness.
The video was removed from some platforms but YT magically reinstated it after some time.

Thanks for the Zap! I like that it shows on the video timeline.
Any idea why my comment in nostube doesn't show for me in yaki or primal?
And do video zaps show as comments like boosts do from Fountain because that would be cool!

"Safe And Effective" music video.
I went for a b+w hand-drawn animated look for this video, with some color full motion color video mixed in. No AI so took me AGES to complete it.
Please let me know what you think.

Are there any Nostr clients that replicate Snapchat?
With all the underage social media bans, a decentralized Snapchat alternative might be a great way to get the youth onboard...

2/3 The first 3 songs for "Kulture Collection"...

Video, statement post, and nostr onboarding guide below.

The artist onboard guide I have planned for after that. Will give a few different options there.

It's possible to be broken without accepting a victim mentality. Choosing to spare a family member for example.
You're correct re full force of the state. That was hyperbole.

My first toe was dipped into wavlake. I simply renamed my artist to "Matt Finlay (Wavlake)" and started doing DeMu. I'll take wavlake offline when I get around to it.
I use new.musicsideproject.com @nprofile…8lzl
to create the feed XML files. Yes, just put all the files on my website. You might be able to view the download stats if that's available on your host/site. Not as nice as wavlake - there's probably better reporting options but I haven't looked into it.

What's the general view of that?

Started alone with no knowledge. I'm still fumbling my way through but have had lots of help from friendly people here.
My focus is on finding the simplest solutions to get people here. They can branch out from there.
And also coaxing other artists here.
