records are
fantastic in this respect, the handmade packaging really
adds a bespoke
touch to the release.
To be honest I think that making anything "strictly
limited" (like the
minerals series on benbecula) or with "special
packaging", really adds to
the desirability ;)
If you find any bespoke packaging, tins wooden boxes
etc, could you post
the link please?
Cheers!

Barenakedladies released an album only available (for
purchase anyway)
on a
USB flash drive. I thought that was pretty cool.
Online distribution is sometimes the only way a lot
of people ever get
their
stuff heard, so I tend to gravitate towards available
downloads and
online
releases from labels and artists.

I would personally be quite happy with a CD-r, with
some very
artistic,
unique, or thoughtful packaging. Honestly in these
days, a lot of
people
have their CD's burned to hard drive, i-pod, or else
have just the
discs
in those 128-disc notebooks, so often the packaging
just sits in a
corner
somewhere anyway.
I personally think it would be cool to include
something in the
packaging
like a small piece of artwork, perhaps 1 or 2 small
pieces that would
fit
on my fridge or desk for example.
This work sounds wonderful by the way, I'd love to
pick up a copy when
it's released.

I have a work by one of the audiobulb artists. It
is very simple and
very
beautiful. Constructed from sparse guitar notes,
spaces, paino notes,
the
sounds of his everyday routine (washing hands,
cleaning teeth). The
whole
album consists of tracks using one sound at a time
- no layering -
following
strict mathematical sequences that relate to the
artist's internal
structure.
note - note - note - silence - tap runinning -
different note etc....
The work is minimal, artistic, concrete and msucial
in places - but
the
song
structures are far from conventional - but they are
emotional (to me
at
least).
How to release such a work is the question? I
wonder about demand &
format.
How are cd-r's (in beautiful packaging) received by
the consumer?
Alternatively we could press the minimum 500
CDs.... but I worry
about
demand.... How to promote such a work. I know it
has been done
before....
but I would appreciate guidance and opinions......
