So here we are. There is so much to talk about, I don't even know where to begin. We're already working with a lot of great artists and there are a lot of new things on the horizon. Jazz fans are in for a treat in the upcoming weeks, as are Zappa lovers. You know who you are.
We've recently launched "Project Hope" to much fanfare, and there are already some fantastic musicians getting involved. How this works (in a nutshell ["Look at me! I'm trapped in this incredibly large nutshell!"]) is artists from across the globe donate one song, a few songs, or a lot of songs to the project. We make them available for free download on GimmeSound, and periodically will release the best of what is donated on a compilation CD. How do we define best? I suppose that it depends on how you define best. The songs that get downloaded most often on GimmeSound will certainly be chosen for the first volume, so if you feel an artists deserves to be included, go download their music to show your support! The best part is, all profits from "Project Hope" are donated to the charities that we support.
I'll confess. Treeship Records is new to the blogging world. If any of you out there are reading this, leave comments on what you would like to see included in this blog. We are pretty much making this up as we go along, only with two very clear goals in mind. The first is that we want to provide you with great music from great artists hailing from all corners of the globe. Second, we want to genuinely make a positive impact on the world we live in by donating all profits from the sale of that music to charities that are working so hard to make that a reality.
