Listen to the Music of Louis Lamp Through "Weed"
Louis Lamp's debut CD, An Open Mind is available through the 2004 World Technology Award Finalist, Weed. They offer five dollars worth of music when a new account is created, which is almost enough to buy An Open Mind.
(PRWEB) December 30, 2004 -- Louis Lamp was not under any influences that had an impact on his decision to go with Weed. He found a good product, a good method, and went with it.
Weed is a company that respects both the listener's desire to share music, as well as the artists, as it's hard enough to make a living.
Louis Lamp became 'Weedified' (Weed's own term for getting his music on their site) by getting his album set up on CD Baby (a respected and huge source of independent music at www.cdbaby.com), signing up for digital distribution, and requesting to be added to Weed. Then, it was only a matter of time.
Your music can be shared in P2P networks, as well as via CDs, and many other platforms, and it is all free for three listens. After three listens, Weed's breakthrough software asks for the user to pay for the file. There isn't a one size fits all mentality to the price of each piece, so pricing will not be listed here. Their pricing is competitive with the other companies that do digital distribution.
The reason behind this decision is that it brings the best of both worlds together, at no additional cost to the artist (beyond submitting your album to CD Baby and also paying for the Digital Distribution package they offer). The listener can 'try' unfamiliar music by listening to it at a place and time of their choosing, yet they still must buy the music after three listens. This satiates both the musician and the music lover.
The timeline that Louis Lamp experienced when awaiting Weed was about two months, though actual results may vary. They are, so far, the only digital distributor of his that notified him when his files were up for sale, however. This is only one testament to their dedication to service. The wait time for other distributors is longer, and, not getting a notification when his files are ready, means that he had to sign up as a member of those sites, and go digging through them, hoping to find his music. All that extra work that was avoided thanks to a simple email notification sent to him by Weed, and has enabled him to promote his music that much more effectively.
There are other sources that Weed gets their music from, and that list can be found on their website. The album, as well as many other artists who've joined the bandwagon at Weed, is now available for listening and sharing.
Louis Lamp is an independent composer of relaxing music. He released his debut album, An Open Mind, in March of 2004. He has so far gotten his own website up, and his album is listed on Amazon.com.
