Thank you for listening and your kind comments!

Sure yeah, happy to share, thanks! Here’s a link to a string quartet I uploaded last year (“performed” by digital instruments on my computer). If you make music too I’d be happy to take a listen as well! https://soundcloud.com/walkingears/sets/string-quartet-concordant

i like Soundcloud, have an account for my own music on there, but I also listen to music by others. Gotta appreciate how the internet can help DIY artists put some work out into the world. Listening to a composer on Soundcloud now named Andy Feldman. https://soundcloud.com/feldya/tracks

Love the idea of smaller “indie” social media communities without any profit incentive, just purely spaces to socialize and hang out. Also appreciate that there’s solid moderation against hate speech etc. Otherwise it’s still clear that it’s a new and growing thing and perhaps there’s some uncertainty about what the day-to-day realities of it will look like, but it’s interesting to be exploring it at such an early time.

Travel-focused communities would be lovely, akin to r/travel and r/solotravel among others.

I love worldle, it’s really helped me sharpen up on geography as someone who’s already geeky about geography.

The island nations, and trying to guess their “border countries,” are really a struggle though.

I started writing music when I took a college class that required us to download Finale Notepad, a free composition software. Back in those days I just wrote tiny little “sketches” and fragments of ideas, but more than ten years later and I’m now writing full compositions, usually classical-inspired, but sometimes in other genres and styles. I switched to writing in Musescore which is also free but has better digital instruments and also has more versatility
