I am overtaken with joy the more I think about REMIXED CASTLE.

This is now the second instance in my short time as Kid Lightbulbs where the community has come together and made a wonderful piece of art, and a time capsule for this community, completely organically.

I literally asked publicly if folks want to remix any of my stuff, and then 2 months later, this album existed.

And it’s. So. Freaking. Good.

Appreciate you all. But also, I think this is a repeatable pattern for independent musicians to both build community and broaden the scope of their work:

• Each participant now has a new project to add to their repertoire

• Everyone now has a new project to promote

• Everyone has become (internet) friends in the process

• Everyone benefits from a multiplier effect of everyone promoting the project

• Everyone benefits from the plays / sales from such a project, which can enrich the community or be diverted to someone / a cause in need

Speaking of which! We’re pooling all Bandcamp Friday proceeds from REMIXED CASTLE and divesting to a fellow trans musician in the community who

needs the support on a number of levels. Anyone who buys the album 3/7 (next friday!) will be directly supporting this individual in need, at a time when support for the trans community is directly under attack.

Community is joy. Community is power.
