Patron Hunt

Sounds Like An Earful is an independent ‘music supply’. The project is an online library of music that is available for use by podcasters, indie game devs, video editors & content creators of all kinds. All music is exclusive and created in-house, by Christopher (or as you may know him “Posty Posterson”). The music supply is Christopher’s passion project. He’s been nerd about the importance of creativity for a long time – hosting podcasts, making music, working full-time as a freelancer, etc. He decided to start the Sounds Like An Earful Music Supply as a place for indie creators to get ‘stock’ music that doesn’t suck Christopher has some goals for the project: Create a large library of really high-quality original audio Work closely with podcasters & creatives to help their projects sound better Help to inspire indie creators with resources that are easily accessible to them Foster a community of creators that all help each other grow & improve Create a new, sustainable way to make music professionally part-time The project used to be a ‘for profit’ project. They sold each song individually like most ‘stock music’ websites do. However, in 2020, after a lot of thought, they decided to adopt a fully Patron-supported model. They did this for a few reasons: It’s better for creators. After talking with a lot of indie creatives, they realize that licensing music can be very confusing and even more expensive. Using Patreon, they can make their music available to download & use for free (or for the cost of a Patreon membership if folks want access to more music). It’s better for the music. The Patreon model frees the music itself up from being concerned with ‘what sells most’ to simply ‘what is good’ and ‘what does the community need’. It works better for them as the artist too. Knowing that they have an on-going, sustainable relationship with their Patrons helps SO much. It’s honestly enormously motivating. It allows them to focus on making music and working with the community, rather than worrying how they’ll pay for projects costs this month. Their flexible operating costs include recording, mixing, hosting, programming, etc. all take A LOT of time and resources, becoming a Patron directly helps sustain the library for everyone! Christopher needs your help to continue producing original music and making it accessible to independent creatives. Recording, mixing, hosting, programming, etc. all take A LOT of time and resources, becoming a Patron directly helps sustain the library for everyone! Fixing costs include web hosting, file storage & download bandwidth costs, software + licensing, & home studio & instrument maintenance.
