The econnexus Music Making Machines Project

Today econnexus.org.uk announces the launch of our latest project, the econnexus Music Making Machines.  This project is intimately interconnected with our "Water Connects Us" downloadable album, which aims to raise money for Haiti earthquake victims.

This project intends to contribute at least one track to "Water Connects Us" recorded in a very low cost "bedroom studio". It will also demonstrate how that track, and indeed the whole album, can then be marketed without the traditional "music industry" soaking up the majority of the profits that the artists have themselves created.  In conjunction with "Water Connects Us" it will also demonstrate how to get aid to the people who need it, without the traditional "aid industry" siphoning off a significant proportion of the contributions of the concerned citizens of this planet.

To get this project started we visited a couple of Exeter music shops on Wednesday.  We received lots of useful advice from Mike and Phil at Project Music, and Jay and Chris at Mansons Guitar Shop. We ended up buying a Line 6 POD Studio UX2. We'll let you know how we get on with it in future posts.
