1. "seeing things" is here for finding TRUE FANS. - Having true fans is like having good friends!

2. I just make music for TRUE  FANS. this means only the people who BUY my music will get my songs in full-lenght... :)

if you become a TRUE FAN I will always give you some goodies and treat you like a good friend. ;)
at the moment I offer my music on seeingthings.bandcamp.com - there you can buy it!

all of you others who don't care about that artists deserve to get paid for their music (and how much WORK it is to compose, record, produce and promote music)
just get free sample-clips of my songs instead - but NO songs in full-length.

this is absolutely fair, - because why should people who don't wanna pay for my music and don't wanna support mestill get my music for free...??? - if I would give these people my music for free, I would devalue my music (and indirectly the worth of any good music in general)...

you should know,I had to spent over 4000 dollars just for the recording-equipment of my little home-studio. you really need this amount of money if you wanna be able to make at least a good demo-production.
you need a professional vocal-recording mic (100 dollars), professional high-end studio-microphon-pre-amp (400-100 dollars at least!), a high-end studio-audio-interface (400-1000 dollars) and sound proofing for you room acoustics just for recording the vocals...! - much money, isn't it!?!?

I make real music which needs also money to get created! - I don't make electronic-music where you can produce almost everything just with samples.

I've started making music at the age of 13, spending lots of energy, time and money into it and all of this was necessary to make "seeing things" possible and make a songs like "it's killing" available.

if you wanna show some LOVE and show me that you are TRUE FAN, you should also support "seeing things" with good comments and "like me" on facbeook. this way also other people get a chance to see that my music is worthy of listening to...:

 
seeing things on facebook


 
seeing things on youtube
please support my music on youtube as soon as I have some videos there!

music is no "free gift". - it's not just a "file" or something like a "desktop-wallpaper"...
it's more than digital ones and zeros...
in the most music-genres you need a huge amount of time and money to produce music. - listeners should learn to RESPECT the work of musicians.

- illegally downloading and hearing music without paying something for steals income-opportunities for the artists,
destroys many artist-careers (remember not every artists is a "band" - and that's why many artists CAN'T earn something by playing gigs...!), it destroys smaller and bigger labels, studios and the chances for new artists to get a record contract.

would YOU be happy if your boss wouldn't pay you for your day-job anymore and tells you: "just make it as a hobby, I don't wannay pay you, instead I "like" you on facebook..." ???

it's not the time for stupid arguments like: "I can't afford music".
- even I can afford buying CDs and mp3s! :D

there are enough cheap CDS outwhere, mp3s costs often just 80 cent. - can't YOU afford buying at least ONE mp3 a month....???

EVERYONE can afford to buy music - but most people are just too egoistic to pay for their music and use illegally
ways to get the music, like:
-listening to illegally uploaded songs on youtube...
-donwloading illegally uploaded music on filehosters like rapidshare...
-downloading illegally uploaded music via torrents...
-downloading music illegally via "myspace-downloader", "youtube-downloader" and other tools...
-downloading illegally uploaded music via filesharing-programms...
-getting music by illegal distribution (like sharing CDs and mp3s with your friends by copying the music on a cd-r, ipod, hard-disk and so on...)

don't let us pretend this would not be the case and it's time for artists
to make something against it...

hobby-musicians normally don't care about this topic. many of them don't wanna ever work as professional musicians, so they don't have to care about filesharing. - they have their day-jobs and it's ok with them if it stays this way!
but I know there is a tremendeous amount of ambitious musicians outwhere who wanna talk about this topic, who suffer under the unwillingness of listeners to legally buy music and who wanna do something against this...!!!

every musician can promote his or her music without the need to give away songs in full-length for free.
every listenercan estimate if a song is "good" or "bad" by hearing 1-2 minutes of it.

still it's the hunger for plain attention that made many new musicians giving away their music for free. it's their own belief that their recorded music (and recorded music in general) would have no worth
to the listeners anymore. - that's also a reason why they gave it away for free.

I have no hunger for plain attention.-  I don't need people who say "hello"
and forget my music-project 3 days later. I don't need this superficial shit. I don't need to "collect" endless lists of friends in networks.  - I need supportive fans.

even 10 just supportive fans mean much much more to me than having 10.000 "myspace-friends".

I wish we don't had this problem with the devaluation of music today. in this case I could just make promotion for my music and don't had to speak about "filesharing" and "pircay" and "why it's important and fair to pay for music".

I don't have to criminalze anyone, - because people who refuse to pay for the music they like "already" have commited a crime. it's funny that mostly those people who never pay for music complain the most about getting "criminalized".
they are the enemies of today's music culture, - no matter if they buy a live ticket instead, because they bring bands in the situation to have to tour endlessly and to create perfums or other stuff,  just to be able to "still" earn enough as musicians. these people devalue the recorded music and music-albums. but the recorded music  is what the people want the most - as MILLIONS of illegal downloads proof every day...!
- I'm just talking about facts and those of you who are too egoistic to pay for the music they like will for sure disagree with me about that...

think about it! which side are you on!? - are you with or against the artists that you like???

talk soon!
