spotify – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:55:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 ‘The Kryos Noise’ is available on Spotify http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2021/01/22/the-kryos-noise-is-available-on-spotify/ Fri, 22 Jan 2021 17:38:52 +0000 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/?p=3439 The prog rock album I’ve worked on years ago with the band Kryos Project is now available also on Spotify (and Amazon too).

Why? Well it just feels good to be able to open up Spotify and listen to your own music. This is stuff we’ve made almost 20 years ago (!) but it still feels kinda relevant. Fresh. Well.. you know what I mean.

I used Distrokid to handle the distribution to all major services. It’s a bit fiddly to work with and the overall UX is rather barebones, but it does what is supposed to for a pretty damn honest price!

Probably not for everyone’s taste, but if you give it a shot you’ll be surprised at the results.

When I ran into the excellent Spotipy library (a small yet nifty Python client for the Spotify Web API) I couldn’t wait to try it out with some fun project.

So that’s how the SpotiSci experiment came about; essentially a search tool that allows to query Nature.com‘s one million articles archives while at the same time browsing the vast selection of music available on Spotify.

Have a good listen. You may find the right soundtrack for your science.
