There's Steam Power in your future!

When you sponsor you'll get access to music, photos, and video not available to the general public. Personal sponsorships are a new and unique way to fund the creation of music and support the arts. You can e-mail me here to learn more. Your contribution pays for recording time, equipment, site hosting and maintenance. We accept sponsorships at $100, $50, and $25 per year levels.

The thing that gave me the idea for sponsorship was when I heard an old song I loved and I wanted give something back to the people who made that record. The music business doesn't work that way. That recording had been bought and paid for by a record company and the rights to it now belonged to some corporation. The musicians and others who helped create that record would never see another dime for their work. How is that fair? Why couldn't I pay them directly for the song I enjoyed? The more I thought about it, the more I realised that I didn't want to pay for the song itself (after all, I already had a copy), I wanted to reward the people who made that song happen. I wanted to encourage them to make more! The answer to that, I think, is sponsorships. Sponsoring an artist's career directly might be the best possible thing- just a few thousand fans could easily keep someone working and secure. But since one of the biggest expenses they face is recording their work, and since this is something I know how to do, I decided to launch this studio sponsorship idea as a way to give both artists and fans a decent recording. Those little strings of zeroes and ones, those song files, are the legacy we create here in the workshop. If you find some that you like, please help us make more of them... Jeff Coleman
