Frontman of Dutch rockband Fourteen Twentysix launched a new music project: Bow. The production of its debut album will be entirely fan-funded, at least that is the goal. In the next 60 days the artist tries to get his dream realized without the help of a supporting label. Crowd-funding; it’s not new. Kickstarter recently got a lot of well deserved attention and PledgeMusic seems to be the "go-to" fan-donation site for musicians. A growing number of artists chooses to operate independently, calling upon their loyal fanbase to realize their next creative product.
“I want to create music I love and together with the fans we create our own successful niche, outside the mainstream and majors.” says van der Linden. Chris van der Linden has 60 days to reach his target budget. For more info and participation visit: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/maninthemachine. The album is scheduled for release September 2012.
