Hey #MusicianSky! If you plan to release new singles or albums, or hold an online event (listening parties, concerts, etc) NEXT WEEK, June 9th to June 15th, tell me about it! I'm putting this list together every SUNDAY evening. Artists, bands and labels of all genres are welcome! 👍

Today I finished recording the music for my next album!!! Woop woop!!! 🥳 I always have mixed feelings at this point. On the one hand, it's a massive milestone in the whole process. 💥 On the other, now it's the mixing and mastering that I'm still not very confident at. 😬

OUT NOW - new album from @john-serrano.bsky.social “Still Alive” #acoustic #jazz #folk #blues #pop album featuring John’s heartfelt lyrics & vocals. #musicsky CD & Download johnserrano.bandcamp.com/album/still-... Vinyl elasticstage.com/monochromemo...

Excited to receive my copy of Apocalypse Suite ON VINYL today 🎉 It looks and feels fantastic... but now I need to go visit my friend who has a record player 😂 Liner notes include a track by track breakdown of the story of the album. elasticstage.com/monochromemo...

I release music in multiple genres and worry (too much probably) that if someone likes a solo piano classical track and then finds my music on Spotify that they'll have a WTF moment when faced with my Electronic music... and vice versa. So I created 4 playlists on Spotify to help... 👇👇

#NowPlaying #IndieMusic #MonochromeMotif Walktowalkstation by @voltagepoetry.bsky.social Or as I like to call it "Music for a doctor's waiting room" voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/album/walkto...

Btw - the song in question is my remix of Find The King, GO originally by @clysmic.bsky.social soundcloud.com/purplerhapso...

On an album with 50 minutes of instrumental music... is it acceptable to have a song? The instrumental music is prog rock or straight rock and the song has the same instrumentation as the other tracks. But then again... it's a song, is it out of place? (for context, this is for my next album)

On a whim I asked Alexa this morning "who is Purple Rhapsody?" and amazingly she responded with details of my music pseudonym! Any of my music friends tried asking for their band/artist names?

Today I've been rerecording a first demo of a track I actually wrote 10 years ago when my late wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It's disjointed and jarring in places but has this beautiful "pastoral" section in the middle... Might be on my next album... #CancerIsABastard

The #walktowalkstation EP is here. This post is the start of a thread on its making, including intros to each song by hashtag alone and a few thanks to folk who helped on the journey that started with me and a Yamaha #QY10 on a train… voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/album/walkto...

I create music in a genre my dear follower described as “dark experimental.” Interestingly, though, what I listen to most in daily life is relaxation music, something completely different from what I make myself. I love that kind of cross-genre dialogue, and it’s something I truly enjoy.

Did you know that for the first time ever you can get one of my albums on vinyl? Apocalypse Suite can be ordered here: elasticstage.com/monochromemo... Each order is pressed specially so it takes a few weeks to arrive... but while you wait the album can be streamed everywhere!

My latest album, Apocalypse Suite, is out (check my pinned post!) and so the next project beckons. One track I'm starting on is a rerecording of one from 2007, which had a build and fade out inspired by the last 6 minutes of this Steve Hackett track (from 5:53): open.spotify.com/track/0lDHID...

The story behind this EP is so cool. Even if you don't have 15 minutes to spare, go and bookmark it for later!

If you’ve got 15 minutes spare today….

Can't find the original post that shared this... but this is now living rent free inside my head. And I _would_ go and see Taken: The Musical 🎵🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8g...

this internet was a mistake, but sometimes it’s the best thing ever created

Good afternoon from a beautiful sunny Rovinj, Croatia. Last day of an awesome cruise holiday, then back to the daily grind in a couple of days when I start a new job back home. (Which reminds me of this piano track of mine 😂 purplerhapsody.bandcamp.com/album/interl...) #ShamelessSelfPromotion

#NowPlaying #IndieMusic Apocalypse Suite by @purplerhapsodyx.bsky.social A #cinematic #epic adventure through the end times. The blending of orchestra and piano is marvelous. purplerhapsody.bandcamp.com/album/apocal...

On holiday on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise... Beautiful sunrise this morning over Mount Vesuvius 🌄 Got out of bed early this morning especially to see it and was not disappointed. The camera doesn't quite capture the natural beauty of it as well as my eyes did

Heading to Rome today for what was planned to be a couple of relaxing days before heading to the coast to get on a cruise. Going to be there until Sunday morning. We're staying near the central train station so might do day trips elsewhere Friday and Saturday? Suggestions welcome. Wish me luck!

Thanks to everyone who joined the listening party for my new album. Great chatting with you all. And huge thanks to @hartshornmusic.bsky.social for releasing it via the Monochrome Motif label.

Rat Race... "a way of life in which people are caught up in a fiercely competitive struggle for wealth or power." People are blind to the struggles of our planet in trying to keep their heads above water in their rat race. 🐀 ~ from a Fab new album by Purple Rhapsody #musiciansky #cinematic #bandcamp

[Updated intro post] Hi Blue Skyers 👋 I'm an indie musician who loves to support other indie musicians. I love all genres and create music myself in a few genres. Latest release is Apocalypse Suite, an orchestral album about the coming apocalypse. 🧨💥 purplerhapsody.bandcamp.com/album/apocal...

Did anyone notice I have a new album out today? Not sure I mentioned it... 😂 It's an orchestral soundtrack to the incipient apocalypse - for track descriptions check the Bandcamp page or my own site's release page. purplerhapsody.bandcamp.com/album/apocal... purplerhapsody.co.uk/Release?rele...

TOMORROW!!! (finally :-) )

One of the things I love about this album is Terry’s piano playing in combination with orchestral elements. It’s a stunning work. Released next Tuesday to celebrate our third birthday. 🎈 🎂

Sneak peek #2 of Apocalypse Suite - this snippet is from The Old Guard. The track is about the resistance to change by the "establishment" which accelerates our journey into dystopia. Apocalypse Suite is out everywhere on Tuesday and there'll be a listening party on Wednesday (9pm UK time).

Reminder for #MusicianSky: If you plan to release a single or an album, or hold an online event (listening parties, concerts, etc), let me know! I'll add everything that gets to me TODAY into the release overview for NEXT WEEK. Every band, artist and label is welcome, genre doesn't matter! 👍
