Hi, I'm Ivan, founder and creative manager of the Looplay team. We have designed a complete solution to push independent music forward to a new stage and I'm asking for your help to make this re-evolution possible.
* Just for spanish users:
ABOUT LOOPLAY
Looplay is a platform for independent music promotion aimed to refocus the current music business towards a more social model adapted to the current digital reality.
Conceived with the objective of building a new path for music, based on global communication, we propose not just a change in the way music is transferred between musicians and end users, but also a new understanding of self-managed intellectual property rights which allows a consistent & legal dissemination by levering the full potential of media technologies, marking a new stage for the next generations.
These are some key features included in Looplay:
+ FOR MUSICIANS:
A complete set of professional tools for musicians, including:
-
Public profile creation with info, profile picture, video and of course music
-
Simple, legal and self-managed intellectual property registration, play with your music legally holding all the rights on your hand
-
Choose whether you prefer to show, share or even sell your music directly to fans keeping 100% of your sales benefits
-
Create your own netlabels and invite others to join in (a really cool feature...)
-

- and many more 2.0 amazing features
+ FOR FANS:
-

-
Keep in close touch with your favorite bands and give them your feedback
- Create your own playlists and share them with other users becoming a selector or even an artist manager
This is just a small example of Looplay's features, but most importantly is we want to keep it free for users and let the musician keep 100% of their music earnings.
OUR STORY
We certainly believe that ''piracy's'' exponential increase is just the way users express their disagreement, claiming for other kind of services. Evidence of this is that in countries where these services are suffering more blockage, ''piracy'' is higher.
We take on the responsibility we have as developers, proposing a new environment so that this interchange can be simple and legal, based on new rules as it is demanded by Internet users, putting the music at the same level as other sectors such as photography, graphic design or video, that have actually been able to adapt and grow on the internet, generating opportunities for millions of artists worldwide.
DATES & TIMING
We started developing Looplay about one year ago with personal funding and right now we're close to finish the 1st open beta release of Looplay. Thanks to your funding help we are going to be able to finish the developing and go online in just 1-2 months.
WHAT WE NEED
We need 40.000$ to hire a few ninjas to help develop some hard stuff but most importantly to afford the server cost and some external services needed for the platform maintenance in order to support at least 10.000 musicians on the first stage and create their profiles for free and upload, register & trade their music without any fees forever.
Even so if we overcome the goal we will be able to develop more and better services and allow free access to more users on the first stage.
WHY INVEST
Your help will be essential to build a new concept that will generate the opportunity for thousands of musicians around the world to legally register, share and trade with their music in a fair & free way, without middle-men, earning 100% of their sales profits and keeping ownership of all intellectual property rights.
