# Bard Bivou(m)acs - Building a bandcamp-like page for an album of music
Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 10:35 AM - 10:45 AM  
Grant Shangreaux

I hoped to become a successful musician someday, and while that has
yet to happen, I've recorded a fair share of unreleased music over the
years.  I decided it was time to share some of it with the world
through the power of Emacs!

Rather than using the available non-free (or even free?) platforms out
there, I decided to build a Bandcamp-like page from scratch.  While I
could have chosen many of the static-site building tools, I decided to
use the tool closest to my heart and automate the process of building
a web page from a directory of audio files with Emacs Lisp.

I will share with you how I managed to create a personal workflow for
releasing an album without leaving the One True Editor that includes
editing audio metadata with EMMS and generating HTML while cobbling
together yasnippet and the format macro.
