We did it!

28.03.2023

Well, it seems that another serious milestone was reached: Darkwave just hit 100 followers on Spotify!

Let me stop here for a while! For an independent musician like me, reaching such an important milestone is a serious reason to celebrate. It’s not every day when a small, one-piece musical project hits 100 follower on the biggest music sharing platform – especially not in times when 100.000 songs get into Spotify’s database every day. This success, however, doesn’t exclusively belong to me: this is a serious achievement of the whole community around Darkwave. We did this together: everyone in the Darkwave family had a significant contribution to achieve it by following, supporting and continuously encouraging me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me on this wonderful journey. I just ask you one simple thing: please stay with me, keep following and supporting me – and of course stay tuned, because good news are coming!

Soundcloud statistics (as of 14.03.2023)

OK, I know that SoundCloud doesn’t own the philosopher’s stone, and it’s a rather closed community of music enthusiasts, but at least it offers reasonable amount of useful feedback resources. I was just checking my statistics and look, what I found. Below you can see the average ratings of all my songs (from 0 – 10), together with the total number of ratings per each songs.

What does it all mean?

First of all it means that the average ratings of my albums are high and uniform (8.7/10, 8.8/10 and 8.6/10 for Hexapla, Hexapla – The Remasters and Missa Innominata, respectively). Also, the songs of each albums were scored by 34-58 people, which is really a huge amount of feedback!

I am more than aware of the importance of the feedback and support I constantly receive from you guys, no matter which platform you use to listen to my songs or to communicate with me. Still, the fact that you valued my tracks so high and gave them such incredible scores is heartwarming – and pleasantly unexpected (!) – to me. Thank you for the feedback – this is exactly, what gives me motivation and inspiration to carry on on this long and windy road of making independent music totally by myself! (Btw, I would have said the same if the feedback hadn’t been so positive. I really appreciate the time you spent with listening and scoring – and eventually even commenting! – my songs.)

Thank you for everything!
