HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
This event was about connecting creative people from different corners of the world. Participants submitted their emails, we randomly chose some pen pal pairs and then they shared things with each other. Below is some of what was exchanged:
"I guess I'll start by sharing these voice memo recordings on my phone for songs that i'm writing for my next release. They're pretty much song sketches with mumbles instead of lyrics in some places."
How did you start your record label…and what are sales like for digital vs vinyl vs cds vs cassettes?
A:
Although CDs at times are no better than coasters for your drinks, they still are our bread and butter. they are relatively cheap to get made, and sell the best still. Digital doesn't do as well as CDs but is till a necessity, it helps your reach immensely. Vinyl is soooo expensive it's a sin, but the whole experience of owning and listening to vinyl is hard to put a price tag on if you have the budget for it."
...There is nothing more depressing than staring at a graveyard of records.
