Do DAAM a favour!
If you read this, tag 2 people you think might like our campaign: fans of experimental music, minimal synthesis, unusual soundtracks, or gothic lit.
Ask them to each tag 1 more person.
It's a small ask, but would make a huge diff.

Knee-deep in a job application for a position I would really love to get (when I should be spending a relaxing Boxing Day with the fam).
Make me feel a little better by considering backing our #experimental #gothic kickstarter, now 125% funded!

First world problems but:
woke up to email saying we didn't have enough money for our xmas food delivery. scrambled about moving funds between accounts to cover it.
Eventually succeeded, only to get an email saying they couldn't delivery ANY of the ingredients to our vegan xmas dinner anyway.

I absolutely don't want to gatekeep - and some of these albums are pretty good - but am I alone in thinking hardly any of it qualifies as 'experimental', even by a pretty open definition? I mean, a lot of it is basically leftfield genre music?

If you've seen me post about the Kickstarter but haven't backed because you can't afford an LP right now, please remember - you can back the project for as little as £1! Every backer - no matter how much they pledge - now gets a copy of the Near Mineral video-art piece 'Sans Vox'!
