Another magical evening at Royal in Baden, with Mel D

We've been getting questions about, "is Northsky for people who aren't 2SLGBTQIA+ as well?" The answer is YES! You just have to be chill and respectful of 2SLGBTQIA+ people and other minority groups. If this describes you, there's a lower-priority queue you can join here: northskysocial.com/allies

Out today on @redbrickrecords.bsky.social , Swiss children songs about caterpillar pets, bike rides and learning to say 'NO', by the amazing Juni Nami. lnk.site/juni-nami-10...

Last year I was recording my album in the studio with Anna Murphy, Gina Eté and Hannah Adriana. Thanks for all the thumbs up, stretching routines and, above all, crafting with me this wonderful music.

One year ago I was working on my album at the gloomy mountain hills of Bündner Rigi, surrounded by cows, sharing moments of deep work, tears and laughter with Anna Murphy and @storiesbyelia.bsky.social, who meticulously hides behind the camera here...

It is a very interesting case study to compare the experience of the Instagram stories of our label night with the videos I uploaded with @flashes.blue. I hope you manage to catch the stories in time at www.instagram.com/stories/redb... @seabass.bsky.social @joe.sprk.team @reedharmeyer.bsky.social

And our genious friends from Geneva, Forever Overhead opened the evening

So proud to be part of the label home for those talented people Subaqua 💜

Such an inspiring day with @redbrickrecords.bsky.social and Forcefield Records to discuss about the joy and struggles of music collectives at the margin of patriarchal and capitalistic structures. And with an incredible diverse lineup during the evening shows. This is Lisheva

Backstage mit Kägifret. So feeling the Jessica Jurassica @sickbut.bsky.social vibe, after I read her book Gaslicht in two days last week

Put my autumn coat on to start the autumn tour. Tonight at Südpol Luzern https://www.sudpol.ch/programm/?post=sommer-im-sudpol-hilke-0

I had an interesting conversation with @ossupervisor.bsky.social and @moefmoef.bsky.social and Anina from Petzi how to engage the music venue community on ATProto. It looks like the skeuomorphism that we need to convince them to switch is Instagram stories.

We are playing shows again. Together with Laura I am looking forward to meet you all and share some moments of connection. 26.09 Südpol Kriens/Luzern 23.10 Helsinki Zürich 07.11 Rehmann Museum Laufenburg 13.11 Kufa Lyss 20.11 Albani Winterthur 21.11 Kiff Aarau 06.12 Kreuzkultur Solothurn

This is really the crux of it. Bluesky isn't censorship resistant when there's a single point of failure concentrated in the United States. We need Eurosky like yesterday.

This is very well-put.

A September afternoon with Juni Nami :) at the super sweet Salee Festival in Brugg 💓

And there is one more music tip for today: Pina Palau's Euphoria! found.ee/pinapalau_eu...

So many good releases in our Swiss bubble today! This is Solong's new EP: found.ee/Solong_Skele...

@andrinabollinger.bsky.social is not on our label, but still close to our heart and she also releases this gem of a song today: found.ee/andrinabolli...

Today we celebrate another release on @redbrickrecords.bsky.social 'State of Mind' is the new EP of Anna Rey lnk.site/anna-rey-sta...

I did it! If somebody wants a Bluesky account with their data hosted on a Swiss server, hit me up!

This is a very tender radio show about gender identity and music. I am blushing about what they tell about me 😊 soundcloud.com/chapeau/plat...

September is going to be a busy month for @redbrickrecords.bsky.social. Today we release Juni Nami's "Velopilot*in". Yes, dreamy children songs in Swiss German, that's also our jam 🚴 🎵 lnk.site/juni-nami-ve...

collaborator feature 💜 Anna Murphy 💜 Anna is not only an acclaimed musician herself, she is also the studio geek and the owner of a couple of ears and an abundance of patience to listen to the details that I don't have.

Thur sessions

Salon Vert mini-residence ended up in the Bizarre Lakeside Orchestra ‘Thur sessions’ https://soundcloud.com/salonvert/sets/the-bizarre-lakeside-orchestra-thur-sessions-2025

Listening to @knotbin.com talk about how closed platforms (meta, tiktok, etc) don't even allow links without being important/big enough, and it occurs to me how much self-censorship we subject ourselves to in order to participate in the corporate social ecosystem.

This week: 22.8 @lucemusicluce @fefruelafete 23.8 @aloisband @brupbacherplatzfest 25.8 @lucemusicluce @boschbarzureich 🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍

💜 collaborator feature Hannah Adriana Müller 💜 Hannah is one of the most loved violinists and plays in the strings ensembles of @toathena @gina_ete and @fabersingt. It was such a pleasure that she wanted to record our string arrangements with Gina on viola and myself on cello.

about being gender non-conforming and being on stage

💜 collaborator feature Gina Eté 💜 Last summer I was writing the songs of 'Am I Angry Enough?' and the coming weeks I will feature the people I worked with. I met Gina at a songwriting camp and we got to know each other even better at a Salon Vert residency.

This is me rolling up my trousers for the mud at Sichtfeld Open Air last Saturday. Thank you so much for standing in the rain and let me be ‘loud’ @redbrickrecords.bsky.social

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it.

Bluesky is also not a competitor of Instagram. It is the flagship app of a new protocol, rethinking social connection on the internet

The music business is in need for alternative platforms—from social networks to distribution. @hilk.eu, artist and software developer, is a vocal advocate for different technologies like Bluesky and its AT Protocol. 🔗 https://www.negativewhite.com/interview-hilke-bluesky-social-media/

The show must go on! On my way to https://www.sichtfeldopenair.ch on stage at 15:45

Last minute show announcement! I will play next Saturday afternoon at 15:45 at Sichtfeld Open Air in Frick www.sichtfeldopenair.ch

My take how artists should make the switch from Instagram to more empowering alternatives

The music business is in need for alternative platforms—from social networks to distribution. So, I sat down with @hilk.eu, artist, software developer, and a vocal advocate for different technologies like @bsky.app and its AT Protocol.

It was a nice conversation. Looking forward to this text!

I wrote a new article When I realised that I have more power as a consumer than as an artist. I don’t only use Instagram to promote my music to (potential) fans, I am also there as a consumer, to connect to my peers artists. www.indiemusi.ch/blog/artists...

"I don’t want that my art and my music is part of a social media system that leads to addiction. I am looking for other ways to connect to people." @flavio-troubadour.bsky.social during the Fighting Broligarchy Stammtisch

I spent the last weekend at the most wholesome outdoor festival in Lichtensteig: art projects about forests, live shows, dancing parties and a classical concert. This is was an (art) community feels like 💜
