Thank you Daryl Browne for reviewing FearNoMusic’s Scenes from Adolescence which featured music from all 3 Raindrop New Music co-founders:

An impression of how FNM’s “De-Mystifying New Music” series–most recently with composer David Schiff and host Robert McBride–supports and highlights their all-Oregonian season.

THIS!
Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

if you’re a person who enjoys art but doesn’t create it you have no idea how many of your faves are in their artist group chats talking about how much more they’d be able to create if we had universal basic income
if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create
