Greg ([@composergreg@io.waxandleather.com](https://io.waxandleather.com/@composergreg)) and Alison ([@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com](https://io.waxandleather.com/@alisynthesis)) return to detonate the incendiary claim that [ended Part 1](https://spectra.video/w/sdvhfyew7B2EcyWkW7kwib): Can you make art without selling your soul to capitalism? They dissect the music industry’s machinery, Spotify’s frictionless decay, and the eerie rise of AI-generated content while revealing how these forces drain creativity and trap artists. But hope sparks in the Fediverse: Alison shares her dive into Mastodon’s nerd-utopia, where community-run festivals like the Radio Free Fedi Fest and raw hardware synths fuel a rebellion against the attention economy.

It’s a sanctuary. _____ [Subscribe to Too Much Music](https://podverse.fm/podcast/0tx8o8X1Bw) or [check out the websit
