About Me

MORTON VALENCE FOR SALE
We are financing our album by selling shares of it to individual investors. In return, not only will an investor own a percentage of our album and reap the financial rewards of any success, but significantly too, they will be a part of a pioneering new spirit in a revitalised music industry.
How and why?
The music industry in 2008 finds itself at a turning point. The power of the major record labels has steadily diminished since the turn of the new millennium. Everything you’re likely to read in the press will describe flagging profit margins, labels going under and artists dropped etc. invariably attributed to internet.
Yet the music scene is in extremely good health, gigs are better attended now than ever, fresh fusions of sounds and cultures demonstrate that music still inspires globally and websites like myspace have made this accessible from virtually anywhere on Earth.
So why is it, on the one hand, we’re told that the industry is in decline? Yet on the other the music scene is so vibrant at the moment?
The answer is that there is a quiet revolution happening that makes the very loud punk revolution of the late 70’s look so last century.
As the sands shift, there is a changing of the guards and a new type of industry is emerging.
For the first time since the inception of recorded music the pendulum of power has swung away from faceless corporations and towards the people who matter the most in the industry, the fans and artists.
This is not only something we fully intend to celebrate, but something we also intend to fully exploit.
We are offering anyone who likes our music a chance to celebrate with us by giving you the opportunity of owning a percentage of our next album.
So far the project has been an incredible success with %'s selling like the proverbial hot cakes, so if you're interested you should grab one - or as many as you want for that matter - while stocks last.
If you wish to know more, write to us with an email contact either here or at [email protected] and we will send you a PDF file with a more detailed account of our proposal.
Meanwhile, thanks for listening.
