Albums by John Ludi
(Note: The original rant that was at the front of this page is now HERE. My opinions have not changed, just my desire for a cleaner website and my productivity status...which can be now considered "grudgingly active".)
I am making all of my current albums “donation-ware” as they have been "torrented" already and are freely available as such anyway...and human nature being what it is, people generally won't pay for what they can reliably steal.
So you can download these albums as a zipped collection of MP3s encoded at 192kbps for your own enjoyment…and you may copy THE ENTIRE ZIP FILE (including notes) and share it with friends or whatnot, but there are a few things that I require in exchange. One is in the form of a gentle request, the other two are in the form of a legal demand.
THE REQUEST:
If you like these albums and think you'll be listening to them more
than once or twice in your life, please donate something to my PayPal
fund. I will be putting out new music/videos in the near future on
a song-by-song basis, but I may follow a model where I interrupt the
songs/videos with some obnoxious plea for donations that will remain
until I "unlock" them by releasing an uninterrupted version. I
don't like the thought of having to do that, but I can't think of any
other way to bypass the "royalty model" that has been made obsolete by
torrenting. Donating at THIS juncture will decrease the
possibility of my having to spray paint on my own songs and hold them
hostage.
DEMAND 1:
Unless you have a direct license agreement with me, YOU ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF MY EFFORTS. If I find that you are doing
so without my consent (or unless you are an authorized affiliate of
CDBaby or a music seller I have an agreement with), we may end up in
court.
DEMAND 2: You do not alter the songs or the attached tags IN ANY WAY, unless it for your own private consumption. The songs contain tags which have this website address in them...please leave it there if you pass these songs or albums on to your friends (or enemies).
If you can live with these types of covenants, feel free to download my albums and share them. At least four of them are world class projects that I am highly proud of...the rest are decent enough for public consumption, and the ones that are not on here need work done that I don't have the time or inclination to do as of now.
If you require more information, the first two albums on the list have their own websites, and the rest have their own pages. In addition, the zipped files also have liner notes and lyrics (where I had the time to put them together), as well as a jpg file of the cover art.
I hope you enjoy them and get something out of them.
I wish the best of you the
best, and the rest of you the rest.
