Companies like LinkTree and MySocialLinks are selling these pages for various fees (usually with a free option). Essentially, they are a place to post all of your (personal, brand, or whatever) websites, social profiles, and so on. While these kinds of pages make sense, I’m doing all I can to consolidate on my website. I see dozens of musicians using specialized (just for bands, etc.) and general (Shorby and dozens of others like the ones I listed above) link aggregation. If you are using one of these, it would be great to know how these tools are working for you. I checked out a few of them and decided to try making my own. ## Essentials R-Us So, I created a new “get to know me” page. I’m sure I’ll refine it for who knows how long. But I’m pretty happy with version one. First, there’s one of those photos of me you’ve seen dozens of times across the interwebs. After that, there are minimal words. Also, links to my main social networks — currently, BlueSky, Mastodon, Threads, and LinkedIn — with an added link to my very possibly overwhelming social network page. Next up, I get focused: links to my music release list, EPK (electronic press kit), and “now” page which lists almost everything I do. Next up is a bit more about my brand, muz4now™️. And the fact that I am the only ambassador, employee, and board member. Yeah, that’s right: my company is just me. ## Creative Outpouring Along with information about my brand, there are a few words about my varied creative arts. As a symbol of this, there’s a music video playlist with over 100 of my songs and instrumentals. Finally, I mention a few more creative outlets. Then, there are image-links to my six most recent blog posts. Last, but definitely not least to me, I mention a few things that have no direct relation to music or related creativity. My home life, my love of the outdoors, and my concern for humanity and the planet we live on. ## True Essentials That’s it. Just the essentials. Most of you reading this already know all of this. I appreciate your support! Meanwhile, if someone else asks “who is this Stan Stewart?“, you now have a place to send them. Thanks for getting to know me. ### Please share! * Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * * Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr * Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * * Share on X (Opens in new window) X * ### Like this: Like Loading... ### _More for you_ * * * ### Discover more from Stan Stewart - @muz4now Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

How is that possible? When the pipeline is full… ## All Sorts Not only is my creative pipeline full, but it’s probably far too diverse. This is not unusual for me. I seem to always have creative pursuits in a variety of directions. This moment is no different. But it seemed like an important time for me to review what I’m up to. Or what I think I’m up to. Something’s gotta give. ## Pipeline 1: The Folksong Album You’ve been “hearing” about this album for years. Literally. After all this time, I have some instruments recorded for all of the nine songs. Talk about a pipeline. However, only three of them are in preview. Visit my page on Mirlo to hear all 3. But that’s not much after as many years. I am trying to determine if this is really an album or just 3 to 9 singles. As always, I’d be grateful to to hear from you about this. Reach out to me here or on social networks. ## Xylophone is the New Vibe I started to work on an all-mallets suite. One reason I started this is that SonicCouture released their new Xylophone instrument. As is nearly always true of SC, they really delivered with this instrument. In addition to the primary samples of this beautiful mallet keyboard, there is a plethora of tweaks. The arpeggiators are among the best I’ve encountered. Hopefully, I can share this suite (the industry calls it an EP) soon. ## Pipeline Schmipline Another pipeline that’s always present for me is the eternal vibe in my brain. Since the USA invasion of Iran which ignored international and federal law, it has been stuck on a Persian beat in 5/4. Boom pah-tat pey dum dum, boom pah-tat pey dum dum. This is not unprecidented with me. Songs in seven and in five pull at my heartstrings. This time, this inspiration is pulling me towards peace and understanding. ## The Other Day Job You know about my “other day job” from this post. This position has led to a list of new songs. These include four completely original songs and a multitude of arrangements + improvisations. I am to the point where I want these to be recorded. The scores (music notation) is ready, so they just need a recording to back them up. This will happen. * * * Main photo is by George Becker and obtained via pexels. ### Please share! * Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * * Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr * Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * * Share on X (Opens in new window) X * ### Like this: Like Loading... ### _More for you_ * * * ### Discover more from Stan Stewart - @muz4now Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.
