Excited for you all to hear these new tunes. I think it's some of my best FM synth work. I started the first track back in February. For me that's a very long, slow project, so it feels awesome that it'll finally be out tonight!

my year of streaming revenue equates to approximately two people buying an album of mine on bandcamp. buy any and all music you love within your means. support your friends. don't give money to a massive corporation that's draining the lifeforce from our art form & attempting to devalue it further.

a screenshot of a discord post. an image is attached listing play statistics for various streaming services; youtube sits at 3964, spotify at 3593.

the rest of the post reads:
"i got curious - attached are my stream count stats from 01/24 thru 09/24

spotify paid $3.35
youtube paid $6.19
both are just beans, of course, but on paper youtube's better
my entire revenue from the distributor is apparently currently $14.95

it'll be interesting to see this for october once the royalty data is available, cause i had one day of big spike where for some reason people were streaming my song with surasshu. and also spotify stopped paying after march, maybe this was when they implemented their threshold thing, maybe those plays tip me back over the threshold"
