    HokusPoker I think you probably just read my post as angry or aggressive when I honestly wasn't trying to be... It's all good :)

    woah hang on there, nothing is fucked here...i'm just postulating, not saying I'm right or wrong but trying to get some debate going around the issue... are you from xltronic?
  10. BCM
    me neither :) just throwing some thoughts out there...
  11. BCM
    yeah but do you really need any other filter except your own ears? why do you need a label to define what is good or not? just because a track is on rephlex records, does that mean it's somehow "better" than something self-released on bandcamp?
  12. BCM
    but why? why do you even need a "label"? you don't any more.... used to be that the label would sort out the production, marketing, PR and distribution of the record, but you don't need a label to do that any more. all you need to do is supply some source material and (if you have a big enough following) the fan base will do the rest - from production of a physical release (if that's what people want) to artwork and marketing via social media. what do labels actually do really? where do they add value? these are rhetorical questions btw, just trying to get people thinking about this concept... i personally believe a label is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin - a label for music; a brand, a logo, an image etc. maybe that's not as important as it used to be...or maybe it should never have been important in the first place - after all it should be the actual sound you listen to that creates the image/brand/label etc... i dunno, not saying i'm right, but think it throws up some interesting questions about the whole industry and the traditional model.
  13. BCM
    yeah absolutely. of course you are right that it would work best for established artists with a fan base etc, but even if you're maybe not established - if the music's good (samples would be required of course) and people want it, hopefully they will be happy to pay something and support your project. i imagine there are a lot of artists looking at this with interest though and i could see this model of selling music really taking off. i mean if aphex now turned around and said "ok i have a new album but i'm not releasing it unless i get £100,000", then started a kickstarter to that effect, I bet it would hit the target very quickly. i guess it does kind of sound greedy, or almost holding fans to ransom, but in reality i don't think it's really any different in this regard to releasing an album via the normal channels, and hopefully a bit better as more of the money ends up in the hands of the artist rather than the labels and distribution companies. i dunno, i like this idea...i really hate "the music business" and would be happy to see an alternative model where people actually go out and search for stuff they like rather than big media telling people what they should be listening to. i think crowdfunding releases could be a step towards this...

    this whole project has the potential to radically change how music is distributed and paid for forever. it's a fucking brilliant thing to happen - fuck the labels, fuck distribution companies, fuck the rights, fuck the whole sordid corrupt industry. gets my vote.

    nvm

    yay!

    i have calculated that if this level of donations continues for the full 29 days the project will make $788,800.
