Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 10th March 2025 from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch562

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

An unofficial playlist to celebrate World Piano Day 2025, featuring the pianists of Soundcloud. 

Feel free to send me your piano-based, original compositions released in the last 12 months up to 29 March 2025 for inclusion.

Piano Day is an annual worldwide event founded by a group of like-minded people, which takes place on the 88th day of the year because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated.

Piano Day 2025 Playlist

This is an improvisation of mine using a soft felt strip between hammers and strings. This new piano model of our Una Corda series goes to Japan this week and will be presented in concert at the Fuji Festival on July 23! If you enjoy it, feel free to download this track in wave format.

Going To Japan

Silently Drawn

Lyrics:

Call myself a writer don't know what to say
Sat under the light in my brother's old bay
He feels much brighter wish I'd gotten that
I'm left with the whites of my eyes from my dad

Call myself a fighter I'm left with no tank
Sat under this light of the lamp coming blank
I feel much tighter than two years ago
My body's not right it's left dark in my soul

Leave me
Breathe me.

Call Myself A Writer (demo)

Distant Echo was written especially for this year's Piano Day, which is organised by pianist Nils Frahm. Piano Day is organised to celebrate the piano in all its guises and takes place on the 88th day of the year (the number of keys on a piano), which this year is March 29th.

The track reflects something of the dark mornings, tumultuous episodes and occasional serenity it was written within.

Master of Fine Arts (feat. Frank Yola)

Howl is track number 3 on studio album release, 'Naked Truth', by Autumn Dawn Leader, an album crowdfunded by friends and fans of the artist and recorded at Deadline Studios in Leicester. After years of make-do home recordings, Autumn wanted the chance of leaving a proper legacy, the gothic and prog-influenced album she was always meant to make, to showcase her powerful vocals, unique music, and emotive lyrics to their best. Thanks to the generosity of many who wanted this to happen as much as the artist herself, the album is now out and ready to reach its audience, to fill the ears and touch the hearts hearts of discerning music lovers everywhere. This song is a primal cry, woven with epic feels, and was inspired by the artist's struggle with BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder.

Naked Truth

Howl

Sea of Senses explores the transformational properties of music.

Innate within our structure, music holds the power to shift our senses within realms of truth beyond language. 

We are all moving particles. We all resonate. We are all music.

Silent Traces + FREE Sheet Music (Piano Day 2025)

"She Loves February" embodies the intense balance between openness and the unsaid.

The soundtrack is part of a bigger project titled "Johann", a Compilation released under NOOX and dedicated to Piano Day 2025. Whilst this collective effort pays homage to a musical instrument that is more or less our society's paradigm of human expression through sound since the 19th Century, we mustn't forget who basically set the rules for keyboard musical writing, changing the whole game forever. So, happy Piano Day, but also happy "Johann".

She Loves February [Johann Compilation, Piano Day 2025]

Matt Mereport emerged from the Manchester ship canal to set up home on a small wooded northern hilltop. Armed with a guitar, voice and electronics he creates what he refers to as “music” though many disagree with this tag. Sometimes it’s heavily electronic, sometimes it’s heavily acoustic. Sometimes it’s heavily weighted. It tends to change from day to day. Much like his socks.
