This idea is a good one, but not necessarily unique. I’ve seen a similar idea with SellABand dot com, where fans fund the bands on the site to go from demos to recording studio. While no one has nailed this down perfectly yet, there are options out there for independent artists to get funded without big-label backing.

Thanks for the post

Alberto,

This is a project to fund the creation of new works of music. It is designed to fund not only the composers, but the performers as well as taking care of recording costs, etc. I don’t see how this could be interpreted as a bad thing. As for your “60s avant garde” comment – you obviously haven’t fully read about the project. How the notes are used are completely up to tthe discretion of the composer, and no one is using them in alphabetical order. Seriously – a piece of music that uses nothing but A for the first minute, then nothing but B for the next and so on – that doesn’t make sense dude.

Cute, but I would not buy it. To begin with, there is a huge accountability problem: it’s not at all clear what these guys would do with a million $ that is inherently more beneficial than, say, funding a dozen music schools in Haiti. And then there has not been enough discussion of how to overcome the “micropayments don’t work” issue. All in all, it sounds pretty amateurish. Finally, not everybody is sympathetic with 60s avantgarde composing techniques. Alphabetical ordering of notes, really?

P.S. David, I loved your book.
