Idea to share what I’m up to beside writing music (and being obviously poor & miserable, but fabulous against all odds) came out of an apparent need to explain what the fuck is going on here.

I mean, I’m shouting about my anticapitalist views and nevertheless use marketing instruments to sell my work to you. Tickets, subscriptions, music and all…

You might have had glimpses of all this on my social media. But as I see it, social networks are only shadows on the walls of some cave where I hardly ever go to.

So I wanted to let you know what’s going on inside, at the source.

My marketing frenzy comes from the fact, that I’m also co-running CanBeDone – this is where we learn how to create independent artistic infrastructures, being fully controlled by artists and no one else.

So yes, we sell things, but we learn how to sell them avoiding global corporations.

We still use global payment providers, but we have already learned how to avoid using services of some evidently speculative entities that offer subscription based art collections, provide ticket sales services or perform as agents for artists.

And hell yes, we are ready to share our experiences, that’s why we call CanBeDone an open knowledge-base for artists surviving capitalism.

Besides, I also do believe that sex work is not only a proper work and should be respected as such, but is also indeed a sort of art, a very powerful one.

So there’s another project I put much soul into: Sicut Dico – my friend, my manager and my partner in all things xxx.

Check out our project WTF is Sicut Dico? for which I provide my music and editorial input.

For people struggling with addictions (me including) we have launched Full Moon + Addiction mental health gatherings.

And of course there are also purely creative projects underway, but those I won’t spoil just yet.

Be sound, be brave,

Love,

Gene
