Controls (Modular World Anniversary Show performance [from the archives, 9 May 2021]). Originally performed and recorded for the Modular World 1st anniversary show (8-9 May 2021) which was a massive livestream event of 33+ hrs during the pandemic lockdowns. During the lockdown years, Modular World became one example of a fairly niche thing gathering people together worldwide to make experimental art online - when it was not possible to organize the usual small local performances - to create something positive and reach more people than they ever could individually. As the pandemic finally, thankfully, subsided, however, it seems that people went back to the enclosed local communities, and these types of global online communities lost their drive.  Also the rapidly accelerating #enshittification cycle of the past few years has buried the visibility of these kinds of communities from all major social media platforms. Of course, as Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic@mamot.fr ) has been pointing out for years, the enshittification of these platforms started much earlier. But somehow amid the pandemic, this niche scene still seemed to flourish, and it was only after Silicon Valley lined up to kiss the ring that the aggressive changes to the algorithms really seemed to change things.  Maybe this is correlation more than causation, but as activity at such niche scenes is often also created by fairly principled DIY-oriented people, it seems that many (myself included) have struggled with justifying why we keep feeding these platforms. This disillusionment is further exacerbated by the rise of the AI-slopmachine that will rip off all the non-commercial work from these platforms just like everything else. Online activity that gathers enough momentum to actually keep things active has in these types of niche scenes been very much dependent on instagram and youtube. Over the past few years, the visibility of this type on stuff that doesn’t try to optimise for the alorithm has plummeted.  Perhaps all of this has resulted in events such as the Modular World shows reaching fewer and fewer people. As wonderful as the promise of #Fediverse is, so far it seems that we’re very far from reaching the critical mass where it would actually start reaching new people. If the utopian enclave remains enclosed, it eventually dwindles away. But we can try! I’m posting these weird little Johannes Karkia mini music videos and performances here bit by bit. It’s a transfer of archive, posted on insta & youtube over th years, and also new work now & then.  But also Modular World does still exist! Go check out their channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/07ErB3AjlAo?is=qr9q2pXlhWm7Hie2 (Full performance of this piece, and interview with MW’s Johno Wells there on the Modular World youtube channel and on the Johannes Karkia youtube channel [link in the bio above], audio track also on Bandcamp). #modularsynth #modularworld #anniversary #liveshow #electronicmusic #modulartechno #covid19 #pandemic #darkwave #eurorackmodular #Community #surveillancecapitalism #enshittification #platformcapitalism #algorithm #bigtech #siliconvalley #KissTheRing #enshittification #socialmedia #utopianenclave #utopianism #fediverse

Bandcamp Friday is here again... kinda sucks that the timing also lines up with the no shopping for May Day thing, but at least one middleman gets cut out of the deal today. :) #ElectronicMusic #BandcampFriday #FairTradeMusicFriday #IndependentMusic https://fuguestate.bandcamp.com/

I would be interested in making album cover art for someone I would prefer electronic music by a fedi musician, (because I like electronic music and I would like to enjoy the music for which I am making the cover art) So, if you are a musician with a planing a release and don't have art sorted yet, press the media tag on my profile or checkout my free zines on itch and see if you like what kind of messy art I make. If you think it might suit your work, send me a PM and we'll see if we can work something out I am not looking for commissions or financial re-numeration, just fancy making some cover art Depending on level of interest, I may have to turn down some people, if that happens please be aware in advance it is no reflection on you or your music, I just will not over-commit as that would lead to mutual disappointment. I will of course, answer all messages though and if I commit, you will get art you are happy with BOOSTS WELCOME #Art #Music #FediMusic #ElectronicMusic #CoverArt #CoverDesign #MastoArt #MastoMusic #Musicians

I've done a 'music only' cut of my 3rd W3dn35day live-streamed gig from last night. Relive the highs and the lows, or share with the folk unfortunate enough to have missed it 😉 (But seriously - boosts would be very much appreciated to spread the word...) You can find it here... https://makertube.net/w/jemP6tWDKsxVkqwJWDQ7e7 #music #musicvideo #livemusic #live #livevideo #electronicmusic

Masto Re-Introduction I'm a Linux Administrator and DevOps Engineer, foss & self-host enthusiast, linux gamer, BSD weirdo, and producer of electronic music. Also have an interest learning more about philosophy, left-wing anarchism/syndicalism/mutualism and decentralized systems (outside of crypto context). Looking to connect with anyone who regularly posts about or engages in those types of interests. #introduction #linux #linuxgaming #bsd #electronicmusic #anarchism #decentralization #foss

#esittely #introduction (Scroll down for English) Johannes Karkia syntyi korona-aikana modulaarisyntetisaattorikaninkoloon sukeltamisen seurauksena. Eurorack- ja muilla syntetisaattoreilla tehtyä elektro-tekno-ambient-industrialia tms. Toinen puolisko Karkia Walo -runomusiikkiduosta @aikako kanssa. Mastodoniin tilin tekeminen lienee yritys lähteä vapauttamaan tätäkin projektia paskoontuneiden kaupallisten alustojen ikeen alta. Johannes Karkia was born during the lockdowns as a result of diving down the modular synth rabbit hole. Elecro/techno/ambient/industrial made on eurorack modular synthesizers. Also half of the Karkia Walo poetry music duo with @aikako. Coming here is an attempt to start freeing this project from under the yoke of enshittified commercial platforms. #modularsynth #eurorackmodular #electronicmusic #poetrymusic #audiovisualart
