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 23/10/2024: 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/batch546

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: BATCH 546

"Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is a new piano based single from Matt Mereport (out now !). The piece is named after the Latin phrase “Solvitur Ambulando”, meaning "it is solved by walking". 

It was influenced by the mental relief a walk (urban, countryside or otherwise) can create in these hectic, stressful and anxious times we’re in. 

The piece was released to coincide with this year’s Piano Day (29th March) organised by Nils Frahm. "Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is included on the official Piano Day Spotify playlist, curated by Nils. It’s also available on the usual streaming and download sites.

The official Piano Day 2023 playlist is here:-

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

This has all happened already 
This has all been before
And so we find a justification
So we can believe in ‘this time’ once more

Another touch 
Another hurt
Another enemy
Another dust myself off

Another cross
Another wound
Another memory
Is enough, is enough

Another house 
Another haunt 
Another elegy
Another deep breath out

Another roll
Another cut
Another remedy
Another could’ve done more

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

Another rift
Another war
Another destiny
Another direction

Another break
Another block
Another penalty
That’s not all, that’s not all we’ve got

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We will carry on
For all we’ve done and what we’ve lost before
We must carry on

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.
