I'm jumping on the crowd-funding bandwagon!
I really need some new studio monitors, to finish off my 2nd album.
Being a full-time uni student, full time artist and full time father leaves no time for a normal paying job so I am reaching out to my fans for help.
If you can help please do, there are rewards!
If you are broke don't worry, help me by sharing this page and building support for this campaign.

$5 is the minimum pledge, $5 is the price of a coffee. Everyone can afford that! 
And it is not donation, you get a product worth more than the pledge itself, so in essence you are purchasing some music in the short term, but also helping to assure the music can be created in the long term
Recently Merkaba raised $11 thousand dollars through crowd funding to help him travel to America.
Ektoplasm raised $30 grand, and pspiralife is currently halfway to a ticket to Europe to further his music career.
Crowd funding is an amazing way for artists to reach out to their fans, especially in this day and age when there is no money to be made through record sales.

Well, i've hit the minimum $500 after just 6 days. Enough to get some KRK 8'S
But now if I can raise more I can buy some professional monitors like Adams, or focals.
Any amount will help!
Thanks all you pledged money so far

Coming from learning how to help to make an ideal [url=http://www.bestpricedgolf.com/Ping-Anser-Forged-Irons-australia-43.html]cheap ping anser irons australia[/url]swing to understanding the terminology and just how to attain the adventure, playing [url=http://www.bestpricedgolf.com/Ping-Rapture-V2-Irons-australia-46.html]ping rapture irons for sale[/url] is a very confusing hobby.

I disagree.
The face of the music industry has drastically changed. I'm not sure if you are a musician or not, but I am and I do not make much money from it at all. Even though I have released an album with a highly respected international label, and many other releases on high profile labels.
15 years ago if I had gotten to this level I could have made a semi decent living from it, these days I cannot.
Not even much money in playing gigs.
Production equiptment is very expensive, so what would you suggest? Should I pay for it all out of my own pocket and never see a return, should I continue to invest countless hours in writing music that gets appreciated by people all over the world for free?
Crowd funding is a way for fans to give something back to the artist.
So if you think the music is worth it, pledge some money. You get a product so it is not a donation but a purchase.
Or you can just download your music from .ru sites and rob the artist of funding.

Congrats on reaching your goal sAt0ri! Crowdfunding is a very real solution to the desperate times we live in.
Percentage is good too. 4% as opposed to selling your music on Bandcamp where they take 15% on digital & 10% on merch.

Looks like it kind of when too easy
Maybe you could get some free synths, Nord's Virus as well while you're at it. |

I think this is awesome and I congratulate your success using the new model!
No doubt the model of the future for a lot of home grown products and services (music is both, imo )
Sort of a reverse capitalism, where it's no longer the producers of goods creating a market, this model lets the market create the goods.

It's pure capitalism, pure free market in action.
Crowd funding, microfinances, colaborative projects, creative commons, freeware, etc...
All that is just new ways of economic relations born inside a free market. It wasn't possible before because of technological constraints, but already expected to happen once communication, transaction and delivery cost drop almost to zero.
and we are just like 10 years into this, there hasn't been better time revitilize and transform capitalism, take all that is good about it and discard all the bad.
"The dedication to repetition — the search for nirvana in a single held tone or an endlessly cycling rhythm — is one of electronic music's noblest gestures." |
