Passion Project Thread - Support your local DiSer

It’s gonna be a tough time for a lot of us, so I thought it might be a nice idea to have a thread for links to help support DiSers who have non-conventional full-time jobs or side hustles/passion projects.

For example (and hopefully she won’t mind me posting this here), @anon45164313 launched her Patreon the other day:

So if you have a Patreon, an Etsy store, a Bandcamp, anything really where other DiSers who are interested could chuck a few bob your way, post them here!

I’ll break the seal on this because there’s a lot of really talented folk on here who I think should be getting some love and who, assuming I can continue to make some cash, I intend to do exactly as suggested and buy some things from. I’m a greedy shit and I have three Bandcamps for no good reason. I’m not in most need, so I would hope that other people post stuff here that people can give to rather than me. Anyway-


Sort of dancey instrumental stuff

More varied instrumental stuff

Painful voiced singer stuff

I hope other people put their awesome stuff here, this is a great idea to help support the community. You’re all awesome.

Gots my ambient/drone/droney techno nonsense stuff going on:

Still haven’t got the hot sauce thing running. Some day down the line I’ll say, “of course I was delayed from launching by Covid-19” and people will nod sagely and hopefully forget the years I spent dicking about before that.

You putting them t shirts up again? It’s payday next Wednesday and I can’t stop regretting not buying the linen one

Afraid not :slightly_frowning_face:

(I’m doing fine though so please spend your money on DiSers who need it more!)

Will do some in future but not for ages yet as they’re tricky to sell many of.

Scouty I believe my patreon thing comes with a free walking tour that let’s face it, I’m hundreds of miles too far away to redeem, happy for someone else to have it if they bung you a donation, if that’s ok?

I will replace it with something else. I’m not sure what though!

Hope it’s OK, but going to use this space for sharing my non-DiSer brother’s music. He’s been making his own stuff for 20 years without many people ever hearing it (he’s better at making it than promoting it). He’s going to have some music on Spotify soon under the name Mattilyn Mattroe. He’s got a few videos on YouTube, like this: Haze, Sweat and Fears (music video) - YouTube.

Also programs some synth/sequencer stuff I don’t fully understand (he’s programmed a lot of Axoloti stuff, if that means anything to anyone): Axoloti launchpad sequencer & synth version 2 - YouTube.

Personally, I had a children’s novel published a couple of years ago, but have been crap at writing since (depression + fatigue + full-time job don’t help). Generally need a kick up the arse.

Will investigate the things shared above in the thread/that get shared in future :blush:.
