MOMA PROJECT DEADLINE:
I will not accept any contributions to the MOMA project after December 31, 2013.

What I have done, more or less, is create a netlabel based on microcassette recordings!
SEE PHOTOS BELOW

As of September 27, 2013:
- 142 people have contacted me expressing an interest in participating in the project, from these countries: USA, Norway, France, Sweden, Germany, Canada, UK, Chile, Greece, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Guatemala, Australia, Russia, Uruguay, Iran, and Belgium.

- I have mailed MC-30s to 141 participants.
- I have received two shipments of MC-30s and I have used all of both boxes of 100 tapes already! I ordered a third box of 100 tapes, which recently arrived.

- In this special section on my website I will add information about the submissions and releases, post photos, links to online audio, and other info relevant to the project. Please bookmark it and check back.
- I have created a special site on Bandcamp where I will publish the audioworks that are submitted for the project. Audioworks will be offered for download with a Name Your Price option with a $0 minimum in most cases. I will impose a specific minimum amount by request of a contributor. Here is the Bandcamp site

- This is essentially a non-profit project. Money that is earned from downloads will be used to keep the project going, pay the bills at Bandcamp and my website, and to pay me back for my expenses (which as of this date exceeds $500 total). After those costs are met, then money earned from the downloads will be split between me and the artist(s) whose music is downloaded.
- Contributors, please encourage your friends to show support for this project by purchasing a download. Small amounts like a dollar or two are welcome and help to fund the project.
