How It Works
How it works — for fans
Discover
Browse artists by genre and municipality, or start from a playlist. Every artist has a real profile — not a post lost in a feed.
Listen light
Stream on a player built for Timorese connections — data-light audio first, video via YouTube when you want it.
Show up
The gig calendar tells you who plays where, tonight and this weekend. Follow artists and never miss a release or a show.
How it works — for venues & events
Hear before you hire
Every act has demos, videos and a press kit with lineup, set lengths and technical needs. No more booking blind.
Request with real terms
Send date, venue and budget. The artist accepts, declines or counters — on the record, not in a lost phone call.
Pay properly
Agreed fee and deposit recorded, paid in cash or SOT Coin. Both sides keep proof; both sides build reputation.
Built on trust
Artists own their music
Uploading never transfers your copyright. You grant a hosting licence you can withdraw — your songs stay yours.
Copyright taken seriously
A real takedown policy: stolen uploads come down, repeat infringers lose their accounts, false claims backfire.
Bookings on the record
Date, venue, fee and deposit — written down where both sides can see them. When there's a disagreement, there's a document.
Built for real connections
Data-light streaming, pages that load on an old Android at the end of a slow network. Music for everyone, not just fast wifi.
Make music?
Band, solo act, DJ, choir or traditional group — Sounds of Timor gives you a home for your music: profile, press kit, streaming, gig calendar and bookings with the money on record. Free to join, works on your phone, in Tetum, Portuguese, Indonesian and English.
