Hello! New to nostr, excited to check it out. I’m a composer and violinist/violist curious about what nostr has to offer musicians. Anyone have any recommendations?

Yes, BITCOIN.
hi -- we were trying to zap you -- but it looks like you haven’t set up a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address yet — grab one free at https://rizful.com .. then pls reply here and we will try zapping you...
Hi! Set up a wallet to get zaps. Primal app is easy.
Post videos of you playing!
Welcome Matthias 🤝
How did nostr find you?
Looking forward to hearing your music. There are a few music people on here

Eyyyy!! Welcome to the revolution Matthias! My wife and I are both musicians ( nostr:nprofile1qqspw5udc2nzw6wsj3plrrphe0343744h0ucz9e4g248chl3w8kh03qpremhxue69uhhyetvv9uhxtnvv9hxgtmnwpshg6tpdehhxarjvyq3jamnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6psu5vh recently saw a vid I posted of my wife nostr:nprofile1qqsxnf49levf745wdtqvpxfdthcultycwkf9c23qlm9prel0mv900lqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg6waehxw309ahx7um5wghxgmm8v3hkwcnpvd4jucm0d5xsaqt9 singing an incredibly beautiful rendition of a song from The Lord of the Rings, see it on my profile!). I’m primarily a drummer, piano has been capturing my soul recently, and I have a long background as an ocarina slinger with Songbird Ocarinas 😂 you’ll find a home here, I know it!
You’re welcome! 💜
Post some of your music or playing violin or what you wish. There are many music lovers here 🎼
Welcome! 🙏
Welcome 👋
A good Nostr adjacent music site is Wavlake.com
I happened to post on nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqyfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9sldm58v, which is a nostr-adjacent music streaming service. Both music and a podcast I host there.
Welcome home 🏠
I'm also new here, it is looking interesting
Welcome! Lots to figure out but def looking interesting!
Welcome!
It’s all about connecting
Relays are important choice
Follow others is very important
This is not a place run by algos, it’s about natural interactive flow
There are alot of bitcoiners here as it’s a decentralised protocol and that attracts freedom-centric people but it doesn’t mean you have to be interested. You need to actively find your interests then it will be fun on Nostr
Bienvenido 🫡
Welcome! @Horszt is a ripping jazz guitar cat here !
Hello and welcome. I would suggest setting up a lightning address, whether it is a low maintenance custodial wallet or if you want the headache of running your own node… either work. Then just start posting notes… also if you want to get your performances out there, you can probably get set up with nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg to distribute your music and earn more satoshis
Post music, videos, work, thoughts and passions. Receive money for what you created directly.
Definitely into this decentralized social media philosophy!
Welcome to Nostr.
You should put your music on wavlake.
Wavlake is a nostr based music streaming platform, it's ad free, instead of revenue from ads listeners can pay to leave comments.
Thanks! I’ll check it out. Download the app?
👋
Welcome aboard! Audio engineer and music maker here. Nice to make your acquaintance Matthias.
Thanks for your comment! Nice to meet you too!
Upload your music to Wavlake on our site and get zapped when people like it
Welcome
If you'd like some help about this weird protocol we call NOSTR I wrote some guides here:
https://habla.news/u/mhardcastle@nostrplebs.com
I would start with this one here for some basic concepts:
https://habla.news/u/mhardcastle@nostrplebs.com/1724842277970
If you have questions, the tag #asknostr is a good place to start.
Enjoy freedom speech and money.
Hey welcome here 💜💥
Look at nostr:npub1q0x2skpayr99ghgzwrkazwh2fmu8ttfzfm7elrseck4dmeqhnjhsxsrgtz
Thanks for the tip!
I zap any performance of Ysaye ballade 3 :)
Amazing! Such a good piece of music!! I’ll see if I can find the music 😄
Looks like you're off to a great start!
Check out different feeds and hashtags for content you appreciate, and when you find people you really enjoy, check out who they follow. Comment where you like, send zaps, offer value, and others will do the same and find you.
But mostly, keep making great music!
I'd love to see your viola too. I have a 5-string violin, giving me the range of both.
#fiddlestr
This is so great! Thanks for the advice. I’m just going down the nostr rabbit hole right now, everything is so new! I 100% resonate with this system though so I’m looking forward to finding the people and feeds I like, and taking part in this new economy! I have a huge tenor viola! I’ll show it in another video soon!! Thanks for your interest 🙂
I'm not tall enough for anything much bigger than a violin. But I hear the bigger violas sound wonderful!
One more suggestion - Nostr has "follow packs", where people can find accounts in different themes and categories. There are a few musical ones. If you message whoever set them up, they should be able to add you.
I would love to get a 5 string fiddle though. One day if I stack enough sats haha
Ok very cool about the follow packs. I think I’ve seen those on the “explore” page in Primal. I’ve looked for music but haven’t seen one yet. Can you recommend any? Thank you 🙏💜
There’s quite a few musicians on here. I for one am an electronic music producer, ambient, granular and synth stuff. I mainly use an iPad and my aim is to promote mobile music.
Do you know of Wavlake.com?? Well worth checking out. You can earn sats there and it really does work.
Very cool Nick! Love the mobile music idea. I often combine electronic instruments and live processing with classical acoustic instruments — I’m always trying to streamline those setups for performance/touring. I still use a laptop with MainStage or Ableton. It would be a dream to have it work well on iPad!! I’ve been hearing about Wavlake.com — what state of “release” do you put on there? Is it like proper finished recordings? I.e. recorded well, mixed, mastered etc? Or can it be more informal?
Now that sounds very interesting, always enjoy a hybrid approach to music like that. I’ve also got a Mac running Ableton, that I use from time to time. The iPad has taken over somewhat of late; could combine them, build TouchOsc interfaces for Ableton and use as a performance device. Worth a look.
As for Wavlake, both really, informal works well. I publish my jams there but have put up one or two mastered tracks. That said they’re mastered by me and nobody else.
There are some top flight people on there like nostr:nprofile1qqsz3jspndutf9xzt2w694j9jadg2qw8axd3zvpwtjl8frh9j07t9nqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9ekh2arfdeuhwctvd3jhgtnrdakj74m56sn and nostr:nprofile1qqsgsp3h9t6329dlfthcqu53h9jg06scymykdf2ed09gv6tmtk9j80qpr4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnhd9ex2erwv46zu6nsqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvcw0s7r - both on Tunestr, which I’ve not checked out.
There are many more out there.
Thank you Nick! That’s cool to know about wavlake and that you’ve posted different kinds of stuff there. I’ll definitely keep that in mind! Yes I’ve come across Joe Martin and Ainsley!
Welcome Matthias, enjoy Nostr and everything it has to offer!
🙏🙏 Thanks Nic! I appreciate it. I love the ethos here and def sick of the corporate model for the internet.
If you have recordings, host them on an RSS feed for everyone to enjoy in all the Podcasting 2.0 apps! They'll be able to send you sats and shows like mine can play them while giving you a value split, which means live listeners send YOU sats when your song plays.
MusicSideProject.com makes it easy but there's also a DIY template explaining all the tags: https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml
