Maple Music

Thanks to @[email protected] for the suggestion!

This playlist will encompass all individual tracks shared here in the Maple Music community. I chose ListenBrainz as the place to host it as MetaBrainz is a non-profit organization despite being in the U.S., it has the perk of being able to add music from any platform to the playlist, and one can play songs in the playlist directly on the playlist page using the YouTube embed the site provides.

While ListenBrainz does have these perks, it by no means is perfect either. In creating the playlist I had to create new entries for some of the songs and their respective releases on MusicBrainz. That in itself isn't an issue, however, tracks that are newly added to MusicBrainz may display as blank in the playlist temporarily before appearing the same way other entries do.

Also, the YouTube embed feature isn't exactly perfect either. Sometimes the wrong video will be grabbed from YouTube. This is especially the case with really underground music, where there may not be uploads on YouTube. For electronic music, I've found it to be the case that videos of rhythm games such as osu! and BeatSaber may appear instead of the song itself.

Happy listening!

Sorry for the inconvenience! This week we're skipping the weekly discussion post in order to regularly schedule them on Mondays. After this however, there shouldn't be any gaps for the foreseeable future.

Welcome to the first iteration of a weekly series in this community called Artist Spotlight! In this series, once a week, a Canadian musician will be featured to showcase their outstanding talents. The first musician to be featured this week is Femtanyl, but please, if you have any suggestions for next week, leave them in the comments where they will be reviewed!

Femtanyl is a music producer hailing from Toronto! She has had numerous releases in the breakcore and dnb genres, and has created an underground culture based around her style of music.

A trans woman, she creates the art for her own releases, and focuses the themes of her music on her struggles in being trans.

Please give her works a listen if you haven't already. Outside of her talents in music, she's very talented with comedy and down-to-Earth conversation and is a lovely individual.
