Of course, WOIN already addresses the encounter reward by basing it on how hard the encounter actually was, not on how hard some equation says it should be, but sometimes you just want your brutes to give your ranged PCs a hard time.

Feun Foo Permaculture&Rewilding

@FeunFooPermaculture

creating a self-sustaining Food Jungle for modern-day foragers. <h2 style=""><strong>Who we are </strong></h2>We are a small <strong>permaculture project</strong> in the foothills of the Cardamom Mountains in eastern Thailand that works on <strong>rewilding</strong> (re-naturalizing) a fruit orchard and bamboo plantation (all in all 1.3 ha) and slowly transforming it into a <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/regenerative-permacultural-methods/#food-jungle"><strong>food jungle</strong></a>. We started here in Chanthaburi Province in November 2018 after living and gardening in the South of Thailand for several years (where we transformed a 0.5 ha oil palm monoculture into a decent little permaculture farm).  <br style="">Our land is right next to a <strong>Nature Reserve</strong> on the side of a mountain - the highest settlement around. It has been completely <strong>chemical-free</strong> for over 15 years, and has year-round access to fresh water from a pond in the jungle.<strong><br style=""><img></strong><br style=""><strong></strong><strong><img src="http://feunfoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_20191210_110754.jpg" style="float: right; width: 225px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;">Dave </strong>(29) came to Thailand as a volunteer on an organic farm in 2014. He worked a regular job for one year before deciding that the high levels of alienation, the stress and the listlessness among many of his European peers are not compatible with his expectations for a good life - so he decided to move to the tropics and provide himself with what he needs all by himself. After five years in the South, he and his wife Karn decided to start their own project in the mountains of Chanthaburi province. <br style=""><br style=""><br style=""><strong><img src="http://feunfoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_20191127_144835.jpg" style="float: right; width: 224px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;">Karn</strong> (28) is from the rural area of the Northeast of the country, she holds a bachelor's degree in Business English and worked for half a year for a hotel and then a real estate agency in Phuket before she decided that the normal life in the city isn't as wholesome and regarding as the simple life in Nature. She has a lot of experience with the simple life and enjoys it a lot - it is like reliving childhood memories for her. She has impressive knowledge of uses and benefits of all kinds of plants, makes herbal remedies from the plants in our garden, is an expert in foraging, and makes the most incredible jungle food. <br style=""><br style=""><img src="http://feunfoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_20190804_192620-1024x548.jpg"><br style=""><strong>Feun Foo </strong>(ฟื้นฟู; pronounced 'fern foo') is Thai and means ‘restore’, 'rehabilitate' or ‘revive’, and that’s how we see ourselves:<br style="">We <strong>restore</strong> Nature to original beauty by converting an orchard and adjacent bamboo monoculture into a food jungle, and by reforesting parts of the neighboring Nature Reserve. We <strong>revive</strong> an ancient, long forgotten way of life, so that it may lead us into a better, not only sustainable, but <strong>regenerative</strong> future.<br style=""><br style="">We provide one of many paths to live a happy and healthy life in harmony with Nature.<br style=""><br style="">Our mission is to become fully autonomous and develop a regenerative way of living. We do that mainly through practicing <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/permaculture/" target="_blank">Permaculture</a>, but include elements of <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/rewilding/" target="_blank">Rewilding</a>, <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-views/deep-ecology/" target="_blank">Deep Ecology</a>, and Primitivist Philosophy, <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/primitive-skills/" target="_blank">Practice</a>, and <a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-views/permaculture-and-spirituality/" target="_blank">Spirituality</a>.<br style="">We believe human beings are an inseparable part of Nature, one species in an enormous interconnected web of living beings that depend on and benefit from each other.<br style=""><br style=""><br style="">Our focus is on creating the most diverse habitat possible, being a functioning part of the ecosystem we inhabit, and proving that it is not only possible but <strong>desirable</strong> for modern humans to return into Nature's open arms. <br style=""><br style="">We offer anyone who is interested the opportunity to stay with us on our farm or to be a volunteer and take permaculture introduction courses that include tropical horticulture, building soil, growing and taking care of vegetables and trees, primitive skills, sustainable building methods, basic Traditional Thai Herbal Medicine and many other topics.<br style=""><br style="">Our goal is to assist Mother Nature in growing a small patch of self-sustaining jungle with a high density of species useful for humans (food, fuel, fiber, medicine, timber, thatch, cloth, dye, glue, lacquer, arrow/fish poison, etc.) that provides subsistence for a small band of people all year round. We do this through planting jungle giants (dipterocarps, keystone trees, ironwoods) alongside a large variety of fruit trees, thereby increasing overall biodiversity, and eventually living under a closed, multi-storey canopy<br style="">We hope that one day the Hornbills will nest in our garden and the elephants and monkeys become regular visitors. <br style="">Additional information is found on our website at<strong> <a href="http://feunfoo.org/" target="_blank">feunfoo.org</a></strong>; more pictures of our beautiful garden are occasionally uploaded to <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/feunfoo.permaculture.krabi/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></strong>.<h2 style="">The Problem: <strong>Climate Breakdown</strong><br style=""></h2><br style=""> Without a doubt, climate breakdown is the biggest challenge for our generation and, in fact, humanity as a species. We modern humans and our civilization have created the conditions that will end the stable climate of the so-called Holocene, increasing likelihood and severity of extreme weather events like droughts, storms, and floods, creating hundreds of millions of climate refugees, leading to severe food shortages in part of the world, the disintegration of nation states, and ultimately the collapse of global civilization itself. Vast amounts of carbon that used to be safely stored in underground deposits (as fossilized hydrocarbons like coal, oil, or gas), in plants and in soils has been forcibly extracted and spewed into the atmosphere, where a good part gets absorbed by the ocean, leading to acidification and the possible collapse of entire oceanic ecosystems (coral reefs are among the first victims).<br style="">This culture's insatiable hunger for more and more machines and high-tech toys is creating vast <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150402-the-worst-place-on-earth" target="_blank">toxic moonscapes</a> with refuse from the mining and processing of rare earth minerals (REMs) needed to build the electrical components of everyday gadgets. <br style="">We have to put an end to the culture that is devouring the planet, and the sooner we do this, the better the chances for us and every other living being we share the biosphere with. <br style="">Leading thinkers and the vast majority of scholars have concluded that radical change needs to happen right now - it might already be too late and irreversible tipping points <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8xwygg/the-collapse-of-civilization-may-have-already-begun" target="_blank">have been breached</a>. (For instance, just maintaining the existing energy infrastructure will emit enough CO2 to <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1364-3" target="_blank">breach emmision targets</a>. Air travel is <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/urban-expeditions/transportation/air-travel-fuel-emissions-environment/" target="_blank">projected to double</a> in the next 20 years) <br style=""><br style=""><br style=""> <h2 style="">The response (<em>not</em> the solution - there is none anymore): Permaculture; Rewilding; Back to the Land!</h2><strong>Permaculture</strong> is <em>&quot;the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems, which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems.&quot;</em> It is a method of working with Nature (instead of against her), and seeing Wild Nature as a source of inspiration, a role model, the ultimate caretaker, and a creative force.<br style="">Permacultural methods build topsoil (and therefore increase Soil Carbon Content) and grows a variety of perennial plants on those soils that hold the ground together with their roots, preventing runoff and erosion. Through techniques such as no-till farming, and adding compost and biochar (from charred biomass and garden refuse) to the soil we can actively help to store vast amounts of carbon over the long term. <br style="">Permaculture creates forests, and trees store atmospheric CO2 in their bodies - basically that's all a tree does over his entire lifespan, and after death much of that stored carbon is absorbed by and stored in the soil food web. <br style="">Permaculture leads to resilient and beautiful communities independent from international trade and travel, therefore decreasing emissions from airplanes, container ships, etc. <br style=""><br style="">In contrast, industrial agriculture destroys biodiversity through monocultures and pesticides, erodes topsoil through tilling and herbicides, stores no carbon since annuals are planted and the soil is ripped open several times a year so that soil carbon oxidizes and escapes, and depends heavily on fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources (to build the machines they use and produce fertilizer and highly toxic agrochemicals) which will soon get very sparse - there should be no need to further explain why this cannot be sustainable and has to be stopped. <br style=""><br style=""><strong>Rewilding</strong> (in terms of ecological restoration but also regarding personal development) is all about resisting the urge to control Nature and allowing her to find her own way. In terms of how we interact with our environment it means restoring wilderness and letting Nature do what Nature does best - for billions of years already. It means seeing ourselves not on top of some made-up pyramid or ladder (like Aristotle's ludicrous and arrogant - but persistent - idea of the <em>&quot;scala naturae&quot;</em>) but as part of an interconnected web consisting of all species and all elements, who all have the same value. <br style="">Rewilding not only the ecosystem we inhabit but also ourselves is crucial. This means letting go of the domestication imposed on us by ourselves and society, the &quot;civilized&quot; ways of thinking and acting: the reductionist, scientific view on life is replaced by a holistic and spiritual one. The <em>Nature-as-machine</em> metaphor that the dominant culture loves so much is replaced with a Gaia-like view of Nature as an organism, a living being. Other living beings are not seen as hollow shells that follow automated algorithms, but as persons with a spirit/soul just like ourselves, who have thoughts, wishes, dreams, ambitions, hopes and the same emotions that we feel: happiness, love, kindness, compassion, gratitude, serenity, as well as anger, sadness, frustration, desperateness, fear, and hate. <br style="">It means accepting smallness, and finding comfort and solace in the bigger picture. Revering and honoring all life. Accepting death as a necessary part of life, the seamless and constant conversion of matter and energy that characterizes the entire universe. Not being ashamed of anything that's natural. It means complete freedom within Nature's limits.  <br style=""><br style="">All this is nothing new. For our entire 3-million-year history as a species this was how humans lived and thought, and how indigenous people today continue to see and interact with the world around them. &quot;Re-wilding&quot; for us modern humans means re-connecting, re-learning, re-membering, re-versing, re-viving, re-storing, rehabilitating, and re-turning.   <br style=""> <br style="">To have any hope for the future, we have to <strong>return to the land in large numbers</strong>. The land is calling for us, it needs us. We have to understand and accept Nature's Own Free Will and act accordingly. If you inhabit an ecosystem where Nature, if left undisturbed, would create forests, than that's what you should do. We all have ancestors who once had rich forest-based cultures, and now it is up to us to revive this intimate connection with the land. We have to re-learn to live in, with, from, and for the forest. <br style=""><br style=""> The Back-to-the-Land movement of the 60's and 70's was a great idea, but sadly not large and persistent enough, and not very successful in some cases. One reason was that the situation back then was much less severe in terms of future insecurity and climate instability. Further, sometimes the mindset of those returning to the land was still infected with harmful civilized ideas, anthropocentrical thoughts of dominion and domestication, and a lack of appreciation for the primitive.  <br style=""><br style="">Returning to the land was actually quite common in the recent past, and a perfectly normal response to famines, epidemics, war, and conscription, as well as during and after the collapse of previous civilizations. What civilized His-story calls &quot;Dark Ages&quot; might have been times where people had more leisure, no obligation to pay taxes to city-based elites and warlords, and where personal freedom, autonomy, and Nature-based cultures flourished.   <br style=""><br style=""><strong>&quot;Primitive Permaculture&quot; - Back to the Roots! </strong><br style=""> We are in the process of developing what we have named Primitive Permaculture, which is rooted in permaculture principles and techniques, but takes a more radical approach to topics like design (which is up to Nature whenever possible), advanced technogy (which should be limited to an absolute minimum, as in our case: no electricity, one phone, one computer, two motorbikes - and NO power tools like chainsaws, drills, etc., or mechanical garden tools such as tractors, electrical water pumps, etc.), culture (which should be inspired by and reinforce a connection with the immediate land base) and an organic material culture (plastic, metal, concrete, etc should be replaced with locally sourced resources whenever possible).  Primitive Permaculture is inspired by indigenous horticultural and hunter-gatherer societies from all over the world. We plant cassava and bananas as staple food, as do the Yanomami, the Huaorani, the Kayapo, the Tsimane, and the Zo'é of the Amazon rainforest.  <br style="">The Kenyah of Malaysia are taking care of up to 125 tree species per hectare (!) in their forest orchards, and that's the direction we're taking, too. (<a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/plant-collection/full-species-list/" target="_blank">click here for a full list of tree species in our garden</a>)  <img src="http://feunfoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IMG_20191209_115050_compress97.jpg" style="float: right; width: 217px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;"><br>Further, Primitive Permaculture includes a large focus on plant species that have no direct value to humans (apart from obvious ornamental value) but increase wildlife populations of other mammals, as well as various birds, pollinators and other insects, and reptiles through creating habitat and food sources.  <br style="">We are also experimenting with a biochar/humanure/crushed seashell mixture to create our own version of 'Terra Preta del Indio', the only kind of soil known to regenerate itself without additional inputs. (<a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/permaculture/primitive-permaculture/" target="_blank">read more about Primitive Permaculture here</a>)   <br style=""><br style=""><strong>The Feun Foo Forest Restoration Project </strong><br style="">We also plan on healing the larger ecosystem that we inhabit. Part of the Rattan Vine Mountain Nature Reserve (ขสป.คลองเครือหวาย) was devastated by a forest fire almost 15 years ago, and has ever since been overgrown by running bamboo. Only the largest trees were left standing, and bamboo was the quickest to colonize the empty niche. We love and appreciate bamboo, but forests with a high diversity of trees create, naturally, more diverse ecosystems. <br style=""> This is why we want to work together with the Forest Rangers on a Forest Restoration Project. The first step will be to request permission and allocate a small sample patch on which we remove part of the bamboo and replace it with native forest trees from the Ranger's nursery. Our own piece of land (3.2 hectares) serves as an example for the methods we will use.  (<a href="http://feunfoo.org/our-goals/the-feun-foo-forest-restoration-project/" target="_blank">More on the Feun Foo Forest Restoration Project here</a>) <br style=""> <br style=""> <br style=""> <h2 style=""><strong>About Sustainability</strong></h2> Because of the environmental destruction agricultural and, later, industrial societies caused during the last 8,000 years, we don’t think sustainability is enough – we have to heal, to restore our environment, our actions have to be increasingly regenerative. We are trying to create a regenerative lifestyle and culture that heals the Earth - as opposed to the high-tech consumerist lifestyle in industrialized nations. <br style=""><br style="">The lifestyle in so-called &quot;developed nations&quot; is far from sustainable. We like and appreciate many features of civilization, but that doesn't change the fact that civilized life is a very destructive and wasteful way to live. The Earth might be able to support some people living in a destructive and wasteful way, but she definitely can't support all 7.5 billion of us living like that.  If the world population continues to grow while everybody strives for a westernized industrial standard of living, all the problems we have right now are going to get even worse. Industrial agriculture devastates the planet, deforestation and topsoil erosion are among the biggest problems that we create with monoculture farming. There is no &quot;one right way&quot; for people to live, but we believe that some ways are inherently wrong. Compulsively destroying your landbase - gaining monetary (read: imaginary) profit from destroying the soil that grows your food, spoiling the water you drink and polluting the air you breathe is one of them. What is needed are not only alternative ways of living, but a lively culture of opposition to civilization, inspired by the many indigenous cultures around the world that haven't yet been exterminated by progress and development.    <br style=""><br style="">All this might seem overwhelming and even depressing to some, since it is still not clear what the individual can do. Common approaches are to get a solar panel, recycle, take shorter showers, buy local food, ride a bicycle, use metal straws, eat less meat, and to grow some veggies in your backyard, but nothing seems to be quite enough to really make a change. Especially people in &quot;developed&quot; countries who live in big cities and work a regular job often want to help but don’t really know how. This is where we step in. Since we both made it out of society and came out happy and healthy on the other side, we consult and assist others who are willing to do the same. We inform and educate through our website and publications on medium.com to contribute to humans getting back on track towards a regenerative future and a liveable environment for generations to come.  <br style=""><br style="">We can't &quot;go back to the stone age&quot; since time obviously moves in one direction only, but we can strive to become what John Zerzan has called the &quot;Future Primitive&quot;. <br style=""><br style=""><br style=""> <h2 style=""><strong>What you can do <br style=""></strong></h2> There are, in fact, many things you can do: you could start your own permaculture project and heal your landbase – or, in the meantime, while you do the planning, you could support little permaculture farms and similar projects that sprout up all over the world. All of those projects do their best to heal Nature, plant trees, supply their immediate surroundings with surplus organic food, and – most importantly – are an example for others. All of those projects show that a different lifestyle is not only possible, but actually quite pleasant. They show that there is an alternative to techno-industrial consumer-capitalism, that there are many ways to live that are sustainable, if not even regenerative – exactly what we need in this time of global crisis. Creating an alternative is rewarding and deeply fulfilling - yet most projects often lack financial means (especially in the beginning phase), because they are not oriented toward making profit (making more than you need) but toward being sustainable (making just enough for you and the people around you). This causes a lot of people who try to do the right thing to worry, and discourages others from trying it themselves.  <br style=""> <br style="">This is why we say that if you want to help making a change but don’t really have the time or the opportunity, you can still help projects that do what you would like to support. It would advance and encourage projects like ours a lot if people who support our cause but can't yet or don't want to do this radical step themselves donate a tiny part of their income towards healing the ecosystems we all depend on for our very lives.  <br style="">With trust in large organizations like WWF (which supports and finances the <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwarren/wwf-world-wide-fund-nature-parks-torture-death" target="_blank">forcible removal of indigenous communities</a> from their forest homes in India) or Greenpeace (which is thoroughly technocratic and pro-business) declining, there are a lot of people out there doing real work to heal their local landbase.  <br style=""><br style="">And they could need your direct support. <br style=""><br style=""> <br style="">Our goals for the future include (but are not limited to): <br style="">- Full autonomy as soon as possible<br style=""> - Canopy closure in 5 to 10 years <br style=""> - Helping to create an ecosystem almost indistinguishable from climax rainforest, with several layers of trees, vines, palms, bushes, herbs, grasses, rhizomes, mushrooms, epiphytes, etc. <br style=""> - Increasing wildlife populations, birds, bees, spiders, bats, rodents, primates (and, if somehow possible, hornbills nesting here in 20-30 years, when the first trees will be large enough)<br style="">- Mastering archery to be able to hunt <br style="">- Increasing knowledge about herbalism and massage<br style=""> - Making instruments from bamboo <br style="">- Learning the language of the birds<br style=""> - Weaving baskets and mats <br style="">- Having fruit all year long and as much honey as we want<br style=""> - Sharing seeds, seedlings and cuttings with like-minded peers  <br style="">- Making all this knowledge available in several languages to anyone who's interested<br style=""> - Creating &quot;climate awareness&quot; and reverence for Nature and all she does for us through translating English texts (studies, articles, books) into Thai<br style=""> - Assisting and aiding people who want to return to the land  <br style=""><br style="">Patreon is an excellent way to support little permaculture projects like ours. Rather than giving a one-time boost (like regular crowdfunding), it allows steady support - which is often desperately needed. Since we have no ultimate goal to work toward and our project has no end point, steady support helps us in the most efficient way.<br style=""> <br style=""> <h2 style=""><strong>What we do with the money  </strong></h2>     We still have to cover the few ‘civilized’ necessities that we need to stay connected with the world and provide guests and volunteers with basic services such as picking them up from the bus station. <br style="">     A part of your donations will pour into acquiring biomass (namely cowshit) to feed our army of worms - the most diligent members of our multispecies community - who convert manure into extremely potent, organic vermicompost. <br style="">     Since we are still not fully self-sufficient, we also have to buy some additional food for us and the visitors of our community. <br style="">     More things we’d like to do with your help is repairing and maintaining our buildings, buying new fruit trees and rare bananas, and expand our free distribution literature and our farm library about sustainability and permaculture. <br style="">     We would like to share our knowledge and skills with as many people as possible. Right now the volunteers still have to pay a small fee (since we’re not yet self-sufficient) but for every patron we can reduce this fee, so that a broader audience can afford to receive a permacultural education and the experience of how a different lifestyle would look and feel like – people who would like to volunteer often don’t have that much money themselves.  <br style=""><br style="">We don’t need a lot of money, even a small donation is enough to make a big difference for us and the people around us.<br style=""><br style=""><br style=""><h2 style="">And, last but not least: Thank you!</h2>If you made it to this point, we thank you for taking interest in our project and our efforts to make a difference.<br style="">If you choose to support us, we will express our gratitude personally and in written form. We know that a few dollars might not look like much, but to us every single dollar counts, and we promise to make sure the money finds a good use for a good cause. <br style="">

@AndreFeriante

creating guitar & multi-instrument music, composition, poetry, a <strong><span style="color: rgb(149, 55, 52);">Welcome to the Patreon page for virtuoso guitarist and composer, Andre Feriante.&nbsp;<br></span></strong><br>Thank you for visiting Andre's Patreon page. Since you're here, chances are you're already a fan of Andre's music and poetry. If you've just discovered the amazing music of Andre Feriante, welcome! Below we have more info. <br><br>With the multiple changes happening in the music industry and now in society as a whole around the world, it’s become more difficult for people to share the live music experience. With your help as a Patron, Andre Feriante hopes to change that. Andre and his team propose to open a virtual music venue, tentatively called One Moon Theatre. The inspiration for the name comes from the realization that all of us, everywhere on Earth, live under the same moon. From here, Andre can offer online music concerts featuring himself and others, interview programs with other musicians, and there is even the chance to help provide an online venue to musicians from around the world. The long term plan is to become an “in person” venue as well.<br><br>Much of this content will be presented for free online, although there will still be patron only content on Patreon. There are so many who can’t afford concerts, or would like to bring their children but can’t. Recently we heard from a mom whose 8 year old was enjoying one of Andre’s Facebook live stream concerts. She thanked us for providing this experience that her child would not have had otherwise. Your patronage will help bring live, virtuoso music to even more people than was possible before. There are many expenses involved with a live broadcast, but with your help it’s an attainable goal. There is broadcast equipment to buy, staff to pay, promotion expenses, and internet expenses. Eventually there will be rental of a building to offer the concerts online and to a live audience as well. <br><br><strong>Some Background</strong><br>Andre has seen many changes in the world of music since growing up in Italy. Over the past 40 years he has studied with the great Andrés Segovia, played Carnegie Hall, toured Europe, South America, and North America, and recorded 14 CD’s. He has hosted radio programs and has been featured on television. <br><br>Yet, his career has also focussed on helping others and promoting music as a whole. For the past 20 years, Andre has brought together some of the top musicians in the northwest to share a stage with him for ensemble concerts in venues like Benaroya Hall, The Triple Door, and a number of major clubs and music venues. He created, and is the director of, the Guitar Euphoria festivals which morphed into the Whidbey Island Guitar Festival and Seattle Guitar Night. He’s devoted enough time to the careers of fellow musicians that some have called him the “Ed Sullivan of World Music in Seattle”.<br><br>Being so deeply involved in the music industry, Andre has also been witnessing, and is trying to adapt to, the change from traditional music distribution and performances to an increasingly digital driven world. CD sales are shrinking, music venues are disappearing, and pay rates have dropped. Now, with the current changes in our world, all music venues are closed and it is unsure when they will be opening up again and in what capacity. Andre’s proposed virtual venue, One Moon Theater, offers a solution to some of those growing issues. <br><br>Yet, through all these life experiences and changes, Andre’s focus has remained on the art itself and the way art connects to humanity. While his virtuoso skill is highly regarded and his music is both loved and entertaining, his purpose is deeper. Andre’s life mission is to focus on how music can help and heal at a deep level, and how it can bring people together. Recently, Andre has expanded the cultural flavor of his music to include a wide variety of stringed instruments from around the globe. This helps to illustrate how music can bring the world together.<br><br><br>Our intention with Patreon is to invite you to join us on a journey that brings joy and beauty to the world while sparking your inner creative spirit.<br><br>Andre writes, “Art and music can fill in the gaps in human communication, picking up where language can only say so much. Dance, poetry, music, painting; these speak to the nonverbal, primal aspect of who we are. The arts provide a much needed feeding of the soul, for balance, fulfillment, and peace of mind. In my TEDx talk ‘The Power of Music to Heal, Transform and Inspire’, I explored how music can increase self awareness and Intuition. It can bring joy, contentment, and a lift of mood and outlook on life. It can trasport the spirit to a place of beauty and inspiration.”<br><br>"It's better to move them than amaze them.." - Andrés Segovia<br><br><strong><span style="background-color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">Long story short...</span></span></strong><br>Why is Andre on Patreon?<br>The business of being a professional musician has been in a huge state of change over the past few years. CD sales are all but gone. Venues offering live music are disappearing and paying less than they used to. Like so many musicians, Andre is in the process of adapting to the change from traditional music distribution and performances to an increasingly digital driven world. This isn’t easy, or cheap. He needs both proper equipment, and help, to make the move to digital at a professional level of quality that matches his art.<br><br>He has placed much of his music for sale digitally and on streaming services, but these don’t pay well. Streaming, in particular, requires numbers of plays in the tens of thousands to make just $100. (see “The Business Side” below for actual numbers). <br><br>While Andre will certainly maintain a focus on live performances, he will be adding new methods to help him make a living in this ever changing music world. <br><br>With the help of Patrons, like you we hope, he will begin a Video Vlog series where he will interview and play music with a wide variety of other musicians. He will begin online teaching workshops and individual lessons. He will continue to produce music videos, and more of them. He is currently working on a new album with two more in the planning stages. He’s working on a new poetry book in response to the many requests he’s had. Finally, your help will allow him to write much more new music to share with you. <br><br>Team Andre is working to ensure that Andre Feriante can continue creating new music, poetry, and visual art to share with you for years to come. One way to do this is here, through the help of Patrons just as Mozart, Michelangelo, Beethoven, and so many historic artists were financed by their Patrons. While each of them was supported by a single wealthy patron, today Patreon allows for the support of many patrons.<br><br>Andre is focused purely on his art and has never been one to compromise that art for money. He creates because it's who he is at his core; an artist. He simply wishes to create the highest quality works to share with the world. <br><br>That said, he still needs to cover basic living expenses, maintain his instruments, and cover the many expenses of producing his various arts. In short, the more support he gets here, the more time he will have to create brand new music, poetry, visual art, and videos for you to enjoy. <br><br>If you'd like to learn more about him, the business of music, and the reasons he has chosen to create this page, please read on. There is a lot of information below for those who like to go in-depth.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"><strong>Patron Tiers</strong></span><br>We have tried to create a number of tiers for almost every budget. Please click on the Tiers tab to compare levels and benefits. If you are interested in a higher level of patronage than listed in our tiers, please contact us. We would love to discuss the creation of a custom tier just for you. <br><br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">Business Sponsorships</span></strong><br>Andre is open to business sponsorships for concerts, video series, and tours. From concert programs, to posters, online, videos, merch table stands, personal appearances, and product endorsements, there are multiple ways we can connect your business with Andre’s many fans. <br><br><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"><strong>Projects: What Andre will create</strong></span><br>These are projects in the works that Andre can create with the proper funding.

Technology has changed the way art is created, delivered, and received. As a result, the way artists make a living has also changed. Where once there were record, tape and then CD sales, there are now free streaming sites that pay artists a fraction of a penny per play. This is one example that makes life more difficult for the career musician. Yet, in a way, there has been a return to the way things were done in the days of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. Through services like Patreon, we have seen the return of the art Patron. We invite you to become one of Andre's Patrons.<br><br>This website, Patreon, is dedicated to connecting creators of all disciplines with those who love and want to support their creations in whatever way they individually can... the Patrons. Here, even those who can only spare a small amount can become a helping hand to the artist they appreciate. Andre deeply appreciates every contribution.<br><br>Recording, making videos, and touring is very expensive. So, those of us that work with Andre Feriante decided it was time to create a page here to help him continue to share his amazing art and healing music with you and the world. This, as said previously, will also help him make the transition to the digital world. <br><br>Your support will directly lead to the creation of more music recordings, new music videos, an expanded performance tour, Deep Sound Healing music experiences, online workshops and individual teaching, and his new online interview program! In return, you will receive a variety of rewards to thank you for your support. <br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">The Business Side</span></strong> (The Secret Life of a Working Musician)<br>While there are select musicians who gain international fame, large studio record contracts, and a high income; this is relatively rare and often hinges more on timing and networking than on sheer talent. Most musicians fall into one of two categories: Hobby Musicians and Working Musicians. The Hobby Musician has a day job and plays mostly for fun and a little extra cash on the weekends. <br><br>The Working Musician, however, has chosen this as a career and puts massive hours into rehearsing to maintain their professional skills. That's not to say that working musicians aren't forced to have a "day job" too, but they are working toward making at least a living on performing for you. So many make only a modest living. One does not typically become wealthy as a working musician.<br><br>Andre Feriante is a full-time Working Musician. As such, every gig of every size is important to him. Every ticket sold, every tip, every patron contribution is what keeps him going. Every album sold, every CD, every download is vital. His total focus is on sharing his art with you, and this used to be much easier. For most of his career he's been able to make a modest living. Unfortunately, the business side of being a Working Musician has changed. With that change could come the loss of quality music for you.<br><br>There was a time when large numbers of venues would hire musicians, preferring the highly skilled Working Musicians like Andre over the hobbyist. The emphasis was on quality. Today there are far fewer venues offering live music and most are paying the same rates they did 10 or more years ago. Many want musicians to play only for tips and are not differentiating between brand new and virtuoso musicians.<br><br>Music sales have changed too. Where an artist could sell many CD's at a performance in years past, now people prefer downloads and even more... free-to-listen streaming sites like Pandora and Spotify. Unfortunately, these pay musicians one penny per play at the very best, but usually much less (as low as one penny per 11 plays). <br><br>Here's what the top streaming sites pay for a single play of a song in 2020.*<br><br><ul><li>Amazon Music Unlimited: $0.0119 (Takes 8,403 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Napster: $0.0106 (Takes 9,434 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Tidal: $0.0099 (Takes 10,101 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Apple Music: $0.00563 (Takes 17,762 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Google Play Music: $0.00551 (Takes 18,149 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Amazon Prime: $0.00339 (Takes 29,499 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Spotify: $0.00318 (Takes 31,447 plays to earn $100)</li><li>Pandora: $0.00151 (Takes 66,225 plays to earn $100) </li><li>YouTube: $0.00087 (Takes 114,943 plays to earn $100)</li></ul><br>*(<a href="https://soundcharts.com/blog/music-streaming-rates-payouts#what-do-major-streaming-services-pay-the-artists">https://soundcharts.com/blog/music-streaming-rates-payouts#what-do-major-streaming-services-pay-the-artists</a>)<br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">Expenses</span></strong><br>As an independent contractor, Andre runs a small business. All expenses come out of his income. He has to maintain his instruments which sometimes need repairs. There is vehicle maintenance and fuel to every gig, not to mention his time driving. Sometimes venues are very far away or part of a tour. Extended distances and tours add expenses like restaurant food and hotel stays.<br><br>Promotions, graphic design, printing, videography, web design, venue booking, stage help, studio recording, book editing and layout, and office help are expenses that Andre has to hire out.<br><br><br><br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">About Andre Feriante</span></strong><br><br><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"><strong>The Andre Feriante Experience</strong></span><br>In a world of many masterful musicians, what sets Andre Feriante apart is his mix of elegance and approachability; both in the music he writes and in his performance style. Andre brings a casual warmth to the stage as he invites his audience into a musical, and literal conversation where everyone feels special and welcome. <br><br>A seasoned, expressive performer, Feriante’s music appeals to any ear with a love and passion for music. His sensual, contemporary compositions bring a creative blend that speaks to people from all walks of life. <br><br>More than a concert, Andre Feriante provides an experience.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKzvbhGQLWc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKzvbhGQLWc</a><br><br>In addition to his traditional concerts and recordings, Andre is embracing the ability of his music to bring peace and a kind of healing to the souls of those who listen. Those leaving his concerts and his Deep Sound Healing sessions often comment on the experience as cathartic, transformative, transcendent, and yes, healing. As a result he offers specifically healing music experiences to individuals and groups. <br><br><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);"><strong>Biographical</strong></span><br>Award winning virtuoso guitarist, composer, and poet Andre Feriante crafts songs that are a fusion of classical, flamenco, jazz and Brazilian music. His creations sing from the Spanish guitar, harp guitar, ukulele, nylon string banjo, charango, and most recently, the oud. He has dedicated his life to his art, and his ability to communicate through sound never fails to lead his audience on an emotional journey that is as deeply personal as it is universal. <br><br>With training by the great Andrés Segovia and Jose Tomas (Segovia’s assistant) in Madrid, Henry Rivas in Bogota, Columbia, and Leon Atkinson in New York., and with almost 40 years of performing and recording, Feriante has left his musical mark on the classical, world music, and fusion scenes. His musical journey has taken him across Europe, South America and throughout the United States. A crossover artist in the vein of YoYo Ma or Sting, his performance program represents a bold but fluid musical fusion, featuring predominantly his own compositions alongside music from Bach to Leonard Cohen, flamenco improvisation to jazz standards, and even poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca, Rumi and of course, Feriante himself.<br><br>Beneath the surface of his masterful playing, is a current that gives Feriante’s music a certain power. Andre translates his respect and care for his fellow man easily into his music, making it a place where emotions can be released. There is a mysterious quality to his music that transports one into the realms of myth and dream. <br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">Influences</span></strong><br>Andre Feriante draws on the flamenco traditions of Gypsies of Spain and Italy as well as from classical masters, such as Andrés Segovia, who recognized his talent and encouraged him early on. Andre had the privilege of studying with Segovia in a Madrid master class in 1983.<br><br>Inspired by the metaphysical mysticism of the Sufi poet Rumi, and even by the introverted pop balladry of artists such as Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits, he began writing poetry, painting, and penning more innovative pieces of music that incorporated elements from his many musical influences.<br><br>Boundaries, like rules, are made to be broken. While it can be easy for an artist to settle into a genre, to inhabit a niche with a built-in audience, Feriante has instead set out along the road less traveled, a decision that has yielded musical results of compelling depth and extraordinary richness. Blending elements of many distinct styles with fluidity and grace, Feriante’s protean approach has led to the creation of a sound that is at once refreshingly unique and elementally approachable.<br><br><strong><span style="color: rgb(192, 80, 77);">Additional Information</span></strong><br>Andre Feriante is the host and artistic director of the Whidbey Island Guitar Festival and Seattle Guitar Night, two Northwest guitar festivals celebrating the beauty and diversity of the guitar. <br><br>Feriante has recently expanded his performances to an exploration of personal healing through music. As such, he was recently a featured speaker in a TEDx Talk about the healing qualities of music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31iuh9pfFwg">TEDxTalk: The Power of Music to Heal, Transform and Inspire | Andre Feriante </a><br><br>Live appearances on dozens of radio shows and TV shows since 1980.<br><br>A frequent guest on Classic King FM and KUOW, Public Radio<br><br>Several of Andre’s 14 albums have charted in the top 10 radio airplay<br>- ‘Bohemian Boulevard’ charted No.1 (stayed #1 - 4 months)<br>- ‘best world album’ - New Age Reporter’s 2006 Lifestyle Awards.<br><br>Andres albums get played internationally on about 500 radio stations <br><br>Andre has been on the faculty of LiTFUSE (a poets’ workshop)<br>
