Work with me
Ask for help. Pay the invoice. Tell a friend. The everyday handshake that keeps the lights on: most support never needs to be more than this.
Support / one door for all four tiers
Value for value.
If something I've made has helped you (a song, a fix, a tool, an idea that arrived at the right moment), here are the honest ways to send some of that value back. Every path returns something real: a download you own, a dispatch from the road, your name in gold on a public board. And quiet enjoyment is a complete response too. There's no guilt on this page.
Honest note: I haven't set patron numbers yet, I'm laying the rails properly before I ask. What's below is the shape of it, and one door that already works.
Three ways in
All of them honourable.
This ladder already runs at my market stall. Nobody gets herded up it: every rung is a whole way to take part.
Lend your voice
Share a page. Play a song for someone. Talk about an idea where others can hear it. Attention is real support, and it costs you nothing.
Back it in public
Fund named work through the open ledger and take your place on the Honour Board: a small, voluntary experiment in doing money out loud.
The ways in
Four shapes of backing.
One works today; three are being built carefully. Gold means you can act on it right now.
Live today
Buy the work
Albums, written worlds and supporter bundles: finished things you'll own. Most of my music streams free; buying a copy is how thanks actually reaches an indie artist.
Being built properly
Steady patron
A little each month keeps the whole arc moving, and buys me the freedom to say yes when the right place calls. In return: dispatches from wherever the work takes me, first listen on new songs, and your name in gold if you want it there. Tell me you're in and you'll be first aboard when the rail opens.
Being built properly
Right-place sponsor
Put me somewhere on purpose. Sponsor a leg (a town, a season, a festival) and I'll go be useful there, send you dispatches from the ground, and log in public what moved because you sent me.
Open now
Time, not money
Host a stop. Lend a skill. Make an introduction. This lane is unpaid and says so up front: what it gives back is named credit on the ledger, skills traded both ways, and a real say in what gets built next.
How the money moves
Fast lane or fee-light lane: your call.
Card or wallet checkout is quickest. PayID, bank transfer and cash dodge the processor fees, but I check and fulfil those by hand most days: delivery waits until the money lands, and I'd rather tell you that than pretend. Crypto rails are on the bench for later; never send funds to an address you haven't verified with me directly.
Money, tax and fee specifics get checked against current Australian rules before anything is charged; none of this is financial advice. The working terms and rails live at my stall, Strange but True.
Thanks, out loud
The Honour Board.
One board across all four doors: who backed what, what it paid for, and what moved because of it. Names are opt-in; quiet support is honoured just the same.
Entries to date
Empty on purpose.
No seeded names, no fake momentum: this record starts honest or it's worthless. The first name here will be real. It might be yours.
