A Plug for alonetone

July 5, 2008 by Molly Sheridan

I’m very impressed with alonetone, a website/community forum created by the musician/writer/programmer Sudara (pictured) from Innsbruck, Austria.
Anyone can sign up to upload and share his or her original music. I
won’t go into details here; you should just check out the site. It is very well done and provides lots of
options for sharing your work, and with none of the unsolicited
promises to make you famous, fishing by (disreputable) booking agents,
etc., that MySpace, Facebook, and other, more commercially-oriented
profile-sites seem to attract.

One of the highlights of alonetone is that, after you create a profile and
upload at least one mp3 of your music, you can very easily set up a
podcast feed that shows up when people search for your name in the
iTunes store. For those who subscribe to your podcast, a new episode
will show up every time you upload an mp3 to alonetone. If you want to
see what that looks like, you can search in the iTunes music store for
my name.

Mind the Gap

Great performances have nothing to do with how many Facebook friends you have, but in today's cultural marketplace it can certainly feel that way.

Economic, social, and technological gaps. But are we trying to close the gaps we see by transforming our presentations, our marketing, and even our art in ways we haven't
