👋Hey, listeners and subscribers of the online loop improv sessions! As a heads up, for future livestreams, I will be operating under a new alias, fotoplayer. 📽️➿🎶

➡️If you already follow me on Twitch, don't worry—only the channel name has changed (@fotoplayer_online). If you've been watching on YouTube, I invite you to subscribe to @fotoplayer and ring the 🔔 to be notified when I go live and for new VOD uploads.

Why the name change? Through experimentation over the past year, I feel the livestreams have naturally developed their own unique artform, meritting a dedicated home, separate from yet syndicated to my main channels (alexsitzemusic). Repotting them in this way allows the streams to grow out of their own domain without crowding out my official releases in the longrun 🪴. There are no major changes to the stream style itself; they are a continuation of the previous VOD format under a new umbrella. ☂️

🎹In keeping with the theme of screening public domain films in the background, I chose the name fotoplayer, which references the American Fotoplayer from the early 20th century, an all-in-one player piano for scoring silent films back in the day. See it in action from this dude, or in the Tim Robinson sketch: He Layeth on High. "Hit it, new Joe!"

🎧As for the audio prints, I will continue tossing the latest fotoplayer jams into the Soundcloud MEGA-Playlist. The sessions are also on Bandcamp (at the bottom), and will live on Subvert when it arrives early next year; I'll send links out when that happens. All tracks remain free to download and stream for personal listening use on whichever platform you choose😉.

🔀All stream replays from @alexsitzemusic are available to view on YouTube in the playlist archive. As always, jams are timestamped and chopped up into chapters in the description.

Visit the livestreams page on my site for access to my channels and related content. If you want to support me, you can contribute via PayPal or by buying one of my songs on Bandcamp—links on my music page—and by spreading the word to friends and family who share an interest in music or film. Feel free to reply directly to this email if you have any questions.

Cheers 🍻
