And thus started John Pointer’s presentation at last week’s Pecha Kucha Night Vol. 4 in Austin. Some may be intimated at the thought of putting together a presentation for PKN, but John proves that a lo-fi approach can still pack a high-def message.
Below, the rest of John’s presentation, which covers his use of a patron area on his website. “Individuals can have all of my music for as little as $2/month,” explains John. “I’m building a salary to make new music this way, and I don’t need to sell my tracks — they’re already paid for collectively — so the patrons can distribute them freely via file sharing.”
Here’s a bio on John (visit his website for more info):
John Pointer graduated from UT with a BA in Cello performance and composition in 1997. He has been a full time performer since then, starred in multiple commercials as a human beatbox, won 9 Austin Music Awards, played Judas in Zach Scott Theater’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar, is in the Cirque du Soleil talent pool, and is a compulsive problem solver.
