Zero Demographic

This compilation is a gathering of electronic and industrial artists and bands under one unifying theme:

We are all interested in communicating honestly with the fans, the music consumers, to educate them to the realities, and to dispel many of the myths and misinformation about how artists and bands survive today.

With this compilation we seek to entertain fans with some excellent music from many current electronic/industrial bands, and give them a chance to speak to the fans and listeners in their own words in the liner notes.

The basic premise is this; there is a dangerous and devestating trend in the world in regards to the public's perception of music and the music business, and it's leading to a hostile climate, an unfair playing field, for musicians to exercise their art. Various myths about the ability to make money playing live, or how labels treat artists, or how much it takes to make and release a record, and so on, are used to justify and excuse people from paying for what they want to possess - the music that they enjoy.

Some people have expressed concern that this is somehow an 'anti-free-music' thing. It's not at all, nessesarily (although some artists might express one way or another in their essays. But something that is of concern to many artists is that many people expect all music to just be free. And that's a difficult issue - one that's unfairly balanced against the artists who spend their money and time making said music. Personally, I propose that if there is free music out there, it's with the artists' blessing - on places such as MySpace, Last.fm, Rhapsody, Pandora and so on. That way, people can hear music for free, online, without taking big monetary risks (is $.99 a song a huge risk? really? I digress...) and can then decide to support the artists when they'd like to have their own copy to put on their iPods or whatever. -Mark)

We seek to educate the public in these matters, from the artists' own words. To show them that not respecting the artists is hurting them and everyone - making it much more difficult, especially for independent artists, to survive and continue making music. We seek to inform the fans and consumers to the realities of making music, and to ask for their respect in how they treat the musicans who's music they enjoy.

All profits will be donated to the Future Of Music Coalition - a Washington D.C. organization dedicated to the same principal concepts we are.
