I'm pleased to announce that 'Pressure Wave' is now available on my #Faircamp site.
This track has garnered over 2200 listens on #SoundCloud in the past month. I was going for a gritty edgy sound, inspired in part by Iggy's 'New Values'.
The bass line is pure gold. Hopefully I can remember how to reproduce it on the #Hydrasynth LOL. I really need to start keeping a log. 
Important development and growing trend. Soundcloud have backtracked on their use of content for LLM training policy to now abandon that in favour of NOT using their content for LLMs. So many people ion their community rebelled, that it was unsustainable.
Duolingo have begun rehiring humans as they rapidly realised genAI/AI stats crunching was never going to achieve what even their 'low quality content' workers were achieving.
Klarna (payments system) have begun rehiring workers after similar disappointing experiences of using AI to replace their workforce for customer service amongst other things. Their own customers were sick of dealing with low quality standardised responses from chatbots.
A side observation is that many sponsored posts in socmed from AI companies (Microsoft, Google, Meta etc) have now removed the opportunity for people to comment on these posts. Anger and frustration is growing, in other words.
None of this is surprising. What is very surprising is that UK and other countries continue to champion 'AI' as the future of education and learning.
Après leur décision de nourrir les IA avec le contenu de leurs utilisateurs, j'ai voulu supprimer mon compte soundcloud : impossible.
"Cliquez sur supprimer mon compte dans les paramètres". Y a pas de lien supprimer mon compte dans mes paramètres fdp. 
Du coup j'ai retiré tous mes morceaux, effacé toutes mes données, et remplacé mon nom par "va chier". (je voulais mettre "fuck you soundcloud" mais ça passait pas 
)

More late-night EDM, if you're interested. #soundcloud #originalmusic #edm https://soundcloud.com/briandgregory/stolen-dreams?si=0c7e291c6f1543619e1adc219761ae79&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
Back in May 1995, I released "Radio Interference" on cassette (IDM-3004). It has been on #soundcloud for a bit now, but given this month is officially the 30th anniversary of this album, I thought I'd do a bit of promo. Mixing electroacoustic elements with computer music and techno, the release was pretty #avantgarde, 3 decades ago.
It is now on #bandwagonFM so it'll show up on the indie beat radio. More to come.
Haha, there's definitely something wrong with this account on Soundcloud, it's got music from both the right (techno) and wrong (boy band) LFO bands.
One more reason to not use #Soundcloud . :)

'Specifically, SoundCloud's Terms of Use now forbids the company from using content uploaded to SoundCloud to train generative AI that replicates an artist without their consent.'
Or is it enough to delete just the content? #Soundcloud
Because I haven't shared it here before, and I don't share my music here all that often - here is one of my favourite tracks from Northcape's debut release on Sun Sea Sky, just re-uploaded to #soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/northcape/doesnt-feel-like-a-long-way-1?in=northcape/sets/de81bbaf-032c-4905-ac32-de877100802d&si=70d9ea6ac20d405d949788b411e35027&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing #music #electronic #upbeat #2010
@GossiTheDog I think this is merely #DamageControl on part if #SoundCloud.
I read the Soundcloud terms update announcement. Maybe would have earned a bit of respect if the boss hadn't decided to hide behind the line that the previous terms had been 'confusing'.
They weren't in the least bit confusing.
They were very clear and succinct.
I won't be reopening my account.
If he had truly fessed up and apologised I might have thought differently.
