All the extras…and by extras we mean valuable and meaningful hand-crafted items. The first on the list is the art, all of the art was built by Fechu Designs.

Countless hours have already been spent on the cover art and there will be upcoming art for the individual tracks. We believe that the visual aspect of music has great value. It can fill in the gaps in our understanding of a song or add more depth and meaning.

So, fans that buy the digital download will also have access to the digital posters

Fans who purchase the physical CD will get a CD sized booklet with all the art and access to digital posters.

Fans who purchase the double vinal album will receive album sized art 12x12in. The booklet inside will be full color with detachable pages. Booklets will contain lyrics and behind the scenes photographs.

Next is the Music. Why place it after the art? Most people see the album art at the same time or before they hear the music. All the music in this collection is original and hand crafted in a one room studio, way up north in Fairbanks Alaska. The amount of music and the geographic location it sings of are two unique qualities that make the music valuable

Anyone who purchases any music in any format has access to parts of the portal (web site) that are exclusive and for members only. Sneak peaks into new projects, Live recordings videos, podcasts and more.

Those are some of the extras that come with my purchased music, and other artists offer different ways to connect and have a more meaningful experience around the music and the graphic art they produce.

Buying directly from the artist means more direct financial support for the artist to keep creating. As of last year, sometime (2024) Spotify decided it was no longer paying artists royalties for music played less than a thousand times annually. Which basically means fans who value the artist’s work and are willing to stream it don’t actually get a chance to support the artist financially. In other words, it devalues the graphic art and music. Every other music platform pays the artist royalties for streaming their music even if it is offered as a free stream. If someone does buy the download from iTunes the artist at least gets some even if it’s only a small percentage. But in contrast when you buy music art and cool merchandise directly from the artist most of it goes to the artist.
