Financing

Have you ever lost your artistic inspiration? In todays modern technological age money is a necessity.  The electric company will not take a well-mixed song for payment they want money. Housing companies will not accept a post dated check based on supposed sales. So what do you do? There are many avenues that can be used to finance the creation of art or record a album. Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Fundly and Crowdfunding would just be a few of the avenues that are fan based funding site.  The cost and requirements are individually different by the site of choice. I remember ten years age the only way to get funding was to have a friend at a major label or a bad ass beat. So I wonder, because more people have access to artistic funding is that helping the mediocre musical material being produced.  There isn’t a panel of musicians that approves or disproves music as being quality. If you have the money an album with very simple means can be produced. The convergence of technology allows most computers now days to do anything musically you can imagine. Some programs and effects actually try to digitally create a mechanical presence that older tube components created, bringing that sonic color into the twenty-first century. I sometimes find it difficult to focus on creating music with money on the mind. Finances are a huge part of any artist. Yes, I personally would love to sit at the house, practice all day long, and not have to clock into a job. Yet real world helps give you focus and perspective.
