Buy direct
Bitcoin over Lightning, files in your hands immediately, nothing skimmed on the way through. It works the same from Warsaw, Tokyo or Cincinnati. No conversion, no card, no account to make.
The checkout is Direct Current, which I also built. Selling a record shouldn’t mean handing over a cut and waiting a month for the rest.
Albums
-
Beyond the Walls of the World
Ninety minutes of instrumental fairy tales for jazz ensemble and strings, starting from Tolkien’s essay On Fairy Stories. Artwork by Fernando Utreras.
-
A Different Kind Of Freedom
Six pieces for quartet, out the week the venues closed. It never got its launch.
Outside the jazz catalogue
-
two little tracks
Electronic, and nothing to do with the jazz. Two pieces, “yeahyeahyeah” and “I Haven’t Heard It Yet”, ten minutes the pair of them. Hear them first if you like.
Why buy this way
-
Nothing is taken out
No platform share, no card processing fee. What you pay reaches the person who made the record.
-
It works everywhere
Lightning settles the same from anywhere. No conversion, and no card that has to clear a border first.
-
No account needed
Pay from a Lightning wallet, get the files. Nothing to sign up for, and no email list you didn’t ask to join.
-
Built here
Direct Current is my own software, not a service I rent. If something breaks, you’re telling the person who can fix it.
Prefer a card, or want lossless?
All of this is on Bandcamp too, where a card or PayPal gets you FLAC and the other lossless formats, the physical editions, and the score PDFs. Beyond the Walls of the World also comes in a limited run with a wood-burnt casing I nailed together by hand.
