Music jam: Zagoumenov and Kurek

Visiting a good friend of mine and a great musician Kevin Kurek, we decided to improvise a bit and get this all on video. Ended up being a very pleasant melody by Zagoumenov enriched with amazing solo parts by Kevin Kurek. I hope you enjoy the music as much as we did when we were recording it. Huge thanks to Kevin for the music, inspiration, equipment, recording and editing (Kevin’s MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/kevinkurek). Below is the result of this great jam.

Web platforms for independent musicians

Recently I decided that I want to continue my hobby of making and performing music. I realized that I need a website for my hobby. I looked around and had three options:

  1. build one on my own (very simple html/css with a cool image and an audio player, possible a one-pager),
  2. use wordpress (there’s a number of suitable templates that can be used as homepages for performing artists and musicians)
  3. get on an online platform for musicians online.

Below are the results of what I found.

My requirements were

  • tool for bands to make and manage websites online
  • tool for bands to promote their creativity
  • tool for bands to distribute their content viraly
  • tool serving independent rock folk segment
  • audience is russian speakers

Went to google.com to collect a list of available platforms.

Here are the contenders

Went on alexa.com compare traffic
