Dear friends,
With our new song releasing soon, the second step of the band’s performance is practically closed. (In fact we will appear again, the lyrics videos will come and closing the project the new EP as well!) The feedbacks are so positive and encouraging that the team has got the intention to continue: according to the concepts, we would do two more steps, with 3 songs in each (and with 1 -1 bonus recording) so that a complete album or even a record launch concert can come to fruition at the end. Enthusiasm and intention are there, the ideas are also taking shape, so in terms of content, everything is given for the continuation.
The bottleneck is caused by the financing of the project: we paid the first two steps from our own pocket, however, the economic situation no longer allows us to build upon only this.
Theoretically we could access sources in three ways.
- Tender sources. In principle, it is possible to run for various music tenders and receive support for our creative work from them, but our foregoing experiences are not encouraging: the range of tenders is quite narrow, and the offered conditions and opportunities are generally quite limited. Although we continue to monitor potential opportunities, we cannot actually count on this type of source for sure.
- Royalties and advertising revenue. We will be able to do this if the formation can present an audience of an acceptable size for advertisers. For Youtube, this means 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of play time. Therefore it would be a great help for us if those who otherwise follow the band’s activities (more than 1,000 people on Facebook) would subscribe to our YouTube channel – this would not be a burden for our supporters, but we would be much closer to making this possibility real and become a reliable source of income for us.
- Financial contribution. This could be done in two ways. The first is the appearance of a patron of art (typically a company), who would support a certain part of the projects (e.g. the third step, or a song, a performance, etc.) based on a financial plan submitted in advance. The second is the individual support, in this context our friends and followers who like our work would personally contribute to the additional financing costs. In order to make this possible, we have opened a support account:
10702215-73405870-53200000
(Recipient's name: Bärnkopf Zsolt)
Of course, in order to ask for your help, we undertake to make two things public in a timely and transparent manner: on the one hand, the exact plans and specific steps for which we are currently requesting support, and on the other hand, the amounts received and their exact use.
So there are several options and steps of support:
- Content consumption
- Subscribing (mainly on Youtube)
- Sharing, promoting
- Personal financial support
- Patronage of art
- Other (media, tenders, contacts etc.)
We are very grateful for any of your support and help!
We sincerely hope that with some joint effort, we will be able to realize our plans, and that with the values represented in our songs, we will contribute to making our everyday lives a little more cheerful, human and common!
