I do’ed it! I have set up a Patreon where you can support me and the New Albion universe.
Creating these albums, hiring the talent, sometimes traveling to record them in person, keeping my studio up and running, purchasing music programs, all this costs money. For instance, on the next album i have five singers and two instrumentalists to hire. After i release each album i immediately start saving up to fund the next one. Patreon will allow me some much needed breathing room. I hope. Don’t even worry about my children living to eat another day, my youngest is now 4, which is plenty old enough to be given an axe and sent out into the woods to bring home some meat for dinner.
The fact is, in this day and age, streaming is how the vast majority of people listen to their music. We’ve had this discussion before, so i won’t go into it again, but streaming pays peanuts, which is why artists have taken to Patreon to fund their endeavors. And if it’s good enough for Amanda Palmer, it’s good enough for me.
So please consider becoming a patron. Your money will ensure i can hire the people i need to make my musical stories happen at the level of quality they need to not suck. Come. Donate. Don’t you want to hear the third Fairypunk? I promise, it’s freaking epic. Each album builds in epicness and complexity, from the first sweet little love story to the final, insane bombastic conclusion.
See you on Patreon!
