So there’s a business model here that is built around what artists and labels need – where you retain control, can offer flexible purchase options, and can make enough money and retain data to run as a business. Riemann and Florian Meindl are really using Bandcamp effectively – even including a subscription to sounds. Here’s the guide to doing that:īandcamp can save us all over again Ī complete set of power instructions for de-tangling its interface and finding love as a producer. Of course, to do that, you have to first navigate Bandcamp’s interface – both as a fan and as an artist. That’s totally the idea here – rather than being beholden to uncaring algorithms, corporate overlords, and banal charts, we can find some audience for our music by sharing the love. (Definitely, you wanted some candy taped to it for bonus points.) I remember a favorite grade school ritual was getting a shoebox and then spreading as many cute affectionate notecards to everyone in the class. It’s pretty fitting I think that this falls on Valentine’s Day. I’ve again teamed up with Riemann Kollektion to develop free tutorial material. And if you care about actually connected with people, that’s a big deal.

Bandcamp can work best when you’re both an artist and a fan on the platform.
