Looking 4 a strange sonic experience? Check out…

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! is approaching: This Saturday, 2025/03/15, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!

This time with focus on sad pop music and strange experimental sonic somethings, specifically:

-
#Pop music from war zones
- South American
#electroPop
-
#SmoothJazz
- Cut-up club-worthy remixes of
#remix.es
- Trauma-technological
#club punk
- Laibach-style
#EBM
- Truly experimental
#junkElectronica
- well,
#experimentalMusic in general
-
#EggPunk for cats
- Heavy
#shoegaze
- Spoken word
#doomShanties
- Dreamy
#EbassRomance

There is
#CreativeCommons licensed music, and also I thought of having at least one (amazing!) Fediverse artist in here. But turns out, the London music legend Scanner is no more part of the #Fediverse, as his instance mastodonmusic.social closed down (a reasonable decision by the admin, no hard feelings). But this is something, we, the #FediverseAdmins should keep in mind: People (especially technical non skilled ones) once lost will be disappointed and unmotivated to come back :( . This is something very deep level in #ActivityPub, I am very aware - I hope there is a way to somehow address this in the future. Scanner wrote me, he is on Bluesky now, so with a bridge, you might still be able to follow hin there (look for "robinrimbaud") – and please don't hassle him about it, he has his hands full and SN's aren't his top priority 4 now.

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

hat tip to @toddlyons for the link. I wanted to add a comment to this excellent run down of the OGL and the industry. However, it gets one point wrong.

"But, there’s a reason that Creative Commons hasn’t caught on further: you have to either be committed to releasing your entire content into the Creative Comments ... or you have to carefully construct an SRD for each publication so that you only release certain content"

This is false. And this falsehood seems to have spread far and wide like an ear worm. To clarify, you can specify what is and is not under the license. It is your work, you can delineate it however you want.
