So, I did a spare time project this year, where I learned about music composition and arrangement by composing theme music for each character in my friends' Pathfinder game, using free VSTs and Reaper. I revealed the final themes for everyone during our Christmas session, the players loved them, and now I want to post the themes somewhere online to share with our other friends and with fellow musicians.

My question is, where is the best place to post this sort of thing nowadays? There are five themes, so I have a short "album" going. I'd also like to post some "liner notes" for each song, describing what I was thinking as I tried to capture each character, along with some text describing the "album" in general.

I think once upon a time, BandCamp probably would have been perfect for this sort of thing, but I heard they got bought by a hedge fund who fired half their staff. So, what is a good replacement?

Thanks everyone! Bandcamp it is. I'll probably post it after our next session.

This rocks btw and I feel compelled to tell you good job 👏

Thank you! It was a really fun project and I learned a ton. I felt like I had a decent grasp of music theory basics going into this, but I hadn't really tried composing anything (other than noodling around on the guitar), and I definitely didn't know anything about orchestration, etc. I definitely felt like I jumped in the deep end, but it was super worth it.

Quoting this post, because I uploaded it! (Bandcamp link here) Thanks again everyone for the advice on where to upload this.
