Open Studios is an accelerant. The work we do, is to act as a global Help Desk for those low-income neighborhoods, or Third World villages that want to obtain a catalyst (computer) and get the technical support and training to use it. All services are free. Creative people need to support their chosen careers. The computer allows them to reach a worldwide audience that will learn about them, and then purchase their works through multiple distribution channels the creative people set up (think small business, but in a global market place). Why don't you set up the multiple distribution channel management, and make a bunch of money out of it? If we work together, we can tap into local, state and federal grant monies, and hit the artists up for a percentage of the take on the for-profit side. Your first task is to help us network through the doors of each governor in the U.S. Once they realize the potential of community-based recording studios, you'll be on your way. I'll send you a draft of the letter of interest, if you want. Your accelerant management firm can then evolve and change as the technology advances, giving you more and more distribution channel options to utilize, and in turn, accelerating the creativity and innovation of the growing number of producers (used to be called, consumers by the corporate thugs). :)
