Thank you to all who are supporting the Denver Art Song Project! You can still purchase the first set of songs. If you like the music or know someone who would, please share the link, hit like and send kind messages of support regarding our project.
All purchases help fund and promote the Denver Art Song Projects's next album and future releases!
As a thank you for buying the existing album (don't worry, you can buy it now and still get this great deal), there will be a discount for all supporters when the next album is launched.
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs):
Why are you charging $4 for your album?
Unfortunately, making art costs money. DASP keeps its overhead as low as possible (Bandcamp site and Paypal are basically it). After those expenses, all recording revenue goes to offset rehearsal costs that were already paid to performers and, after that, artists get residuals! Spreading the word and supporting the album makes a real difference in the life of these musicians.
But why four bucks?
Because it is about the price of a frozen coffee beverage. We want the barrier to be low! Eapen is a bit of an economics nerd and this is the optimized price point. If you wish, you can always pay more than the minimum when you are checking out. If you would like to support the project, please email me (eapen (at) eapenleubner (dot) com) to find out more about how you can help support the 2015-2016 season.
Why not just do a Kickstarter?
Kickstarters are great if you have a body of work. While DASP is not ruling that out for the future, we thought the best way for you to get to know us is to share a completed project and start a community of learners and art song lovers online. It is more important to us to create an ongoing conversation based on the production of art rather than do a Kickstarter based on just an idea.
Is DASP a non-profit?
Not at this point. Due to the overwhelming feedback and support, we are actively exploring the option of becoming an incorporated non-profit. We believe that there is a market in the Denver and Colorado area for an organization dedicated to Art Song performance, recording and education. We recognize that there may be increased costs in going "non-profit" and are making sure that it is the right choice since one of the goals is to provide the most financial support to artists as possible.
Thanks again for all your support and we look forward to sharing more music with you in the near future!
Sincerely,
Eapen
