Reply To: [INDUSTRY NEWS] Creative Creeds & first crowdfunding platform w no AI Music/Art

[Jaap Visser]

Hey Barrie, thank you for posting it here and Peter and the others, my apologies for the silence… It’s a busy time at the moment with both Triple Spiral Audio and this new Creative Creeds and I am diving into both with all my energy and I forget to keep up with places like this.

I agree that it is very ambitious, but we are not building it all at once. The philosophy behind the company is not to make big profits, but use whatever comes in to first pay the artists correctly, to have a normal subscription system for the users and to have good and fair pay for the employees of Creative Creeds and use the rest to build step by step what I have in mind.

At the moment I am in touch with a lot of artists, ranging from enthousiastic amateurs to big names in the industry. I feel blessed that I have so many great connections already with 9 years of Triple Spiral Audio and having worked with amazing guys like Simon Franglen (composer Avatar movies) for example and to have those connections.

As said, we are building this step by step and with establishing first the right connections in the industry and to get some major players also interested, it will also give us some good leverage when moving on to the next stage before or shortly after the summer and that is to introduce it to the public and to get the audiences ready for this. Agree with you Peter that we would need a lot of money for the marketing to get it out there.

The crowfundings are a good start to raise the first capital to build and to do this. The second thing my goal with the company and also how I have setup the company, is not to make tons of money as owner. Breaking even is our main priority, having good and fair pay to the artists and employees. I am tired of companies trying to making as much money as possible on the back of artists and the public.

This leaves that all the money that flows in can be put to good use for the artists, the development and to grow the platform and add those features we have in mind

We have adjusted the initial idea to have the TSA customers orientated crowdfunding only ran shortly. We got our first goal of €30.000 in and together with one of my partners who also thinks about the strategy, finances etc we decided to keep this up and running longer and to make use of it as well to grow the community. We are opening next week our discord server and just setted up the socials like Facebook and Instagram so that we can start soon to have our presence there and build up as much as we can before the big world wide crowdfunding.

When that starts I want to have secured some solid names and then we will also start a big marketing campaign as the first days will be essential.

Will try to keep things updated here as well a bit! I have attached our first ideas of the player and the Experience Room.
The experience room will be the centre of our platform. Users can select what they want to do e.g. listen to music, watch art/photos, stream movies, animations, presentations or chat with people interested in the same. You can combine it up to your liking, so you can also select music and watching art and social together for example.

Well so far a bit an update and have lovely day folks!

Cheers,

Jaap
