NEGLEKTRA RECORDS - A record company made out of Unicorns. Hi there, First of all thank you for being interested enough to visit . I appreciate it, really I do. I make music to make myself happy first of all, but I get even happier when other people enjoy it too. It's a really nice feeling. If you want to read my letter, read on below, but if you just came here for the music then click on any of these links: Creeper Lagoon - Long Dry Cold
So, back to my letter, here's what I have to say: After screwing around for a couple years I have come to the conclusion that there is really no point in trying to make money from selling music. So you will notice that everything on this site is free. At least to you. I pay the hosting fees of course. Hopefully you understand that because it doesn't cost anything that does not mean that the music you find here has no value. In every single case these recordings were labored and agonized over for months and years. And it wasn't just me, lots of other people contributed time and energy too. So I want to make sure their efforts are honored and respected. But the bottom line is we are in a new era. Musicians, if they want to make a living, must return to their original status of wandering troubadours. Unfortunately I'm not going to be wandering anywhere anytime soon, as I have several years of physical rehabilitation ahead of me before I'm walking normal again (if ever). So it's time to disconnect from the old model of selling recordings and embrace a new era of simply enjoying the process because music makes me happy. It seems silly to not share these recordings because I want to make a couple bucks. And I am amazed at how many people are still interested in them. I get more pleasure out of sharing the music than I do out of the money from selling it. So download to your hearts content. I hope you enjoy all of it. At one point I had a little paragraph in here about encouraging folks to license the music if they happened to be a musical supervisor for a film or TV production, but even that seems silly. There are services that handle this, and I imagine I'll sign up for one at some point, but right now I'm not worried about it. Just enjoy the music, that's all I ask. Thanks guys, Sharky Laguana |
