The Udderbot Recital brought in $744.00 at the door, with about 100 people showing up. Yea!<br><br>Erin was paid $10/hr x 3 hrs = $30 for working the door, leaving $714.00.<br><br>(No one else was payed for other tasks ranging from significant to
immense: composing, rehearsing, copying, performing, graphic design,
selling merch, making food, tuning a piano, audio and video recording. Except me: some of my time preparing this counted as service hours for AmeriCorps, for which I receive a living stipend.)<br><br>IMC/Shows took 50% of the rest, as per our arrangement, leaving $357.00.<br>
<br>The OddMusic studio, previously leased out month-to-month to Jacob Barton and Andrew Heathwaite under IMC finances, will soon transition to being paid for via a monthly deduction from an OddMusic working group account (part of the IMC general account). That way, more people can help support the space and our projects, and we'll have less slippery cash to track, and folks can make tax-deductible contributions to the IMC. Donations which go in the drop box in the IMC main space, designated ODDMUSIC, will go to our account.<br>
<br>So, the last $357 just went in an envelope to the IMC, to first zero out the Jacob/Andrew balance of $116.67 (Sept. rent), and then to create the new OddMusic account (240.33). If I add to that the $83 in donations we have mostly from the Odd Garden concert in July, that comes to 323.33.<br>
<br>Some ideas I have for throwing "easy" concerts in the IMC:<br><br>- 60x60 electroacoustic concert (see <a href="http://voxnovus.com">voxnovus.com</a>)<br>- 'party pieces for musicians' series: Terry Riley's "In C", my own "In Something Else", Rzewskis "Les Montons de Panurge"... Assemble at least 30 musicians; ask musicians to donate themselves or otherwise raise, say, $10.<br>
- Electric guitar symphonies of Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, etc. e.g. <a href="http://www.rhyschatham.net/index4.htm">http://www.rhyschatham.net/index4.htm</a> This would be a harder, further out project.<br><br>That's all for now,<br>
