Today 15 years ago, Richard officially started Wikiloops, a service for musicians to play and collaborate with each other, and I’m so glad he did. I joined in 2018 and soon after also became one of the moderators’ team on that site, trying to help out where I could.

Now Richard wrote a little note about Wikiloops’ 15th anniversary, and he also created an Android app one day prior to that – an iOS app is also ready, but due to delays with Apple, not in their app store yet. Here’s a QR code he published yesterday, which points to Google’s Play Store to get it (and it’s also accessible via the Aurora proxy, but it still needs Google’s play services and a login to run correctly as it seems):

So go ahead and try it – create a cost-free account to try it out either on its web page or via this app.

And congrats again to Wikiloops, and to all of its supporters, without whom it wouldn’t have been possible to go this far and wide. You guys & gals (and all other possible genders who are there) rock!

And as always, thanks for reading.

Today, 14 years ago, Wikiloops founder Richard opened the gates, and now at more than 250,000 uploads and tracks later, we can all only thank him for it. Read what he wrote, and/or do this:

Go to my profile, and in it, select the tab “Playlists”. Scroll down a bit past my albums, and select the playlist called “Even more hit singles”. Enjoy, and then submit a few dollars or Euros to keep the thing running, so that we all can provide more like this to you. Thanks!

And thanks to Richard and his family, and to everyone who contributed until now – it’s greatly appreciated!

And: still remember this one? It’s also in that playlist, the music was made by some fellow ‘loopers:

This is what I wrote in the song description on Wikiloops:

“I’ve been at the Wikiloops meeting 2024, woohoo! But like all good things in life, it had to end, somehow – and that reminded me that I wanted to play on this awesome track of Isa and Devin. And since both my upright and myself aren’t really up to the task right now, I had to take the fretless instead to noodle around on this a bit. Thanks to Isa & Devin, and I hope you’ll like it…”

So here is it:

And like always, thanks for listening, and for reading. If you’re a musician, consider to join us and to play with us.

Wikiloops member ivax just created a new album on which he included a remix of a track which also involved me. Listen:

So gracias Xavi, and thanks to you for listening.
