Hiya IndieDB!

My name is John Montoya. I make music for Independent games. I want to help the independent community because I know the struggles first-hand (I am still struggling, even now). I want to create a compilation of music from various independent musicians, including myself. I planned on using Pledgemusic.com for this campaign. Before I even start the campaign I planned on completing most of the album to prove that this is a legitimate fund-raising campaign. I wanted to run a contest on various forums like Newgrounds and OCRemix to have some independent artists showcase their music on this album. It will be completely non-profit on my and the other musician's part. The money will only go to the charity and whatever fees I need to pay for Pledgemusic.com.

I also plan on contacting Indie Game devs and ask if they could be apart of the rewards tiers. For example, I can have a donation set for $50. In this tier you can talk to the game devs on Skype and receive a free copy of their game. Part of that $50 will include payment for the game, unless they are willing to give it out for free. Rewards such as these will have to be limited.

This project is currently supported by one Indie dev - Xona Games (Xona.com three #1 games in Japan (XBLIG). I am currently working on asking other game developers if they could help me back this idea.

Now I am here on the IndieDB forums asking for your participation. This website is known for its amazing content and I would like to include this community. I would like to hold a mini-contest to see which artists I can feature on this album. I want to get at least 3-5 IndieDB artists on this album. The only thing I ask is you post a SoundCloud link to your track and disable the downloads. If the track is good enough I will feature it on the album. Also, you can send me some of your older work as well. I'm not that picky when it comes to this sort of thing. :P

Camoshark (Camoshark.newgrounds.com) and Envy (Envy.newgrounds.com) are currently making music for this album.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact at john.montoya@ayotom.com

Thanks!
