evolution of the record label, #nonprofit #socialenterprise for grassroots music and education in South London. In hibernation.

[12ToneMusic @12ToneMusic]

#OpenSource + #subscriptions are the future of the music industry.

If you haven't checked out #TwitchMusic yet, you really should.

It's a blueprint of what's to come, we just need one run for musicians, not capital, & embedded in communities, not corporations.

Finding the notes on Guitar and Ukulele is easy. You just need a piano in your head so you can see the pattern.

I designed a simple, fun and easy game to learn this intuitively, without having to think.

Enjoy!

'Music is Easy' was developed based on recent Flow-state cognitive neuroscience research.

Its 4 simple games will give you intuitive understanding of foundational principles of Music & Learning + confidence & tools to write & perform melodies + rhythms

We have much more to come, and have lots to do and lots we need help for!

If you can't afford to support the project financially, but want to help in another way, you can -

- share the campaign, tell people, retweet
- attend our community meeting 12/11

@World0fEcho The problem is systemic. Music as a cultural movement needs to be economically viable, and as long as we are competing for the consumer's time and attention (streaming model, YT ad revenue etc) its a zero-sum game, with the biggest ad spend taking all of the pie.

Together, we can change the music industry permanently, ending the competition between musicians, ending income insecurity, ending lack of access to music, instruments and education.

So thank you, see you soon, and may the Force be with us.

Love, Respect, Power

I will be building a team, starting with finding a business partner to compensate for my (many) weaknesses and complement my (few) strengths.

We will spread the word far and wide, using music as our weapon for change.

I will not give up. Our community gives me strength.

Though I have been the one behind the camera, it is you - yes, you - who have turned this from a dream into a working prototype for the future of the music industry.

I am deeply grateful, humbled, and determined to make it work.

We will be building up the London Subterranean Orchestra as we can find the right people - and pay them - and we will be spreading the word of direct engagement and support of musicians to work in their community through the https://t.co/lYz0NTdiWZ platform.

...and my original afrobeat will be a tool to encourage mass engagement.

You have heard me refine the blueprints for this since January, and I am beyond excited to share with you what happens when we get real musicians to play it live

[ed @edplaysjazz]

We will be building on and expanding the gigs we have been funding at Clarendon House for residents with Alzheimer's and Dementia, paying musicians to deliver music performances and music education to those who do not now have access.

I will be out and about, playing my sax

[ed @edplaysjazz]

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be introducing you to some of the musicians who are going to part of this.

We are going to take our message of hope and strength out into London and lay the groundwork for a subscription funded community music organisation.
