Q: “In Consequence”  will be distributed freely, in digital format, now on… How did you reach to that descision?

We believe in the free circulation of ideas in general! If anyone enjoys what we are doing and wants to support our efforts, they can order some merch or pop in our concerts. There is an argument for not signalling that the output has no value, but the value cannot be only pecuniary. People also are less and less inclined not to pay for music and that has shaped the market to what it is now, with labels collapsing being unable to invest in art the way they once could, and others turn to easier money, promoting a fellow with an acoustic guitar or a laptop when it’s not a girl with a mic. Easier to work with acts and higher profit margins in a dying industry, that needs to reinvent itself.

We also couldn’t see why our music shouldn’t be easily accesible for those that cannot afford to buy it, especially three years after it’s release. In the end of the day we can’t charge for something that isn’t solely ours. The songs are everyone’s after they are released. Other people’s ideas inspired us, and we are in turn feeding ours back into the system.
