Hello everyone! I´d like to introduce myself, but first of all thanks @TheIndieBeat to point me to this place. I’ve been reading a lot already, and discovered a lot of familiar faces from Mastodon/TIBTV.
My name is Matthias, my alias is ooRay, which I’ve been using since the 90ties. Born and raised in Berlin, I’m a kid of the 80ties & 90ties. Radio stations like AFN and RIAS 2, and of course the classic MTV are a big part of my roots, and had a big influence on my decision to pursue a career as media creative. I’m doing that since 2000, most of the time as a video editor/cutter. Even though music is always an essential part of it, the main focus is more on the visual part. That shifted a bit last year, when I decided to honour my musical roots and to focus more on music and music video production. The result is my first track ever published in the net, and the video premiering on TIBTV at the end of March. It makes me very happy and proud to see it played in the company of so many great videos made by so many talented artists. 
It has also been a dive into a rabbit hole aka the Fediverse and independent music production and distribution. So, I’m here to learn, learn, learn, connect and share. I also picked up DJing last year, and I’m currently working on a mixtape series I call “multi-spectral airplay mixes 90-99”. My 14 year old daughter has the previews on heavy rotation, and that’s also something that makes me very happy and proud. So, yeah, I’m in love with creation in general, and in my house, GenAI stays outside. Ok, so much for my first post, I’m happy to be here!
