Content schedule for August onwards (Patreon)

Hey all

As we approach the end of July, the lockdown here in Sydney rages on and looks like it will continue to for some months to come. We've spoken internally about what we think our best path forward is, and wanted to update you on what we're planning from next month so you can decide whether or not you want to stick around on Patreon. We understand that pre-lockdown we promised a very specific set of things which we can't honour (yet), so here's what we have coming in the pipeline:

- As mentioned before, August voting will be the bonus tracks for Radio Runbacks. Rules are simple: Anything goes (that's licensable), so you can submit whatever you want and patrons will vote it down to a final 2. We'll probably limit that to a single request per Patron, otherwise things might get a little crazy. I'll have more on that next week when August rolls around, just @ me on Discord if you have any questions / suggestions

- Radio Runback voting will remain open indefinitely so if you missed out, you can still get your votes in for the existing tunes. We're not recording anytime soon, might as well give as many of you the opportunity to get involved as possible. Vote here if you haven't already 

- September onwards: We teased this on Twitter, but we're going to take this opportunity to experiment with different genres and want to give you the chance to help steer things a little bit. From September onwards, you'll have the opportunity to suggest sub-genres like lo-fi, chiptune or anything else, as well as tunes you want to see in that genre. It's not Radio, but we're in lockdown, so why not take the time to get a little weird? We'll be keeping the regular jazzy content going too, we've just wanted to experiment and expand our chops for a while and thought we'd bring patrons on for the ride

-YouTube: YouTube uploads will alternate between Radio archives and new tunes / re-records of existing stuff we think is worthy of a breakout video. We think this a pretty maintainable pace and it means you get 2 new tunes every month + the Radio breakouts and anything else we might try

So that's what lockdown content looks like for now, a little bit of the old, a little bit of the new. I know a lot of you are here for Radio so we wanted to be completely transparent with what we're doing while we can't meet in person. We'll try and do some home streaming as much as we can, but there's going to be a bit of an adjustment period while we get all this going so I wouldn't hold your breath for anything regular at the moment.

If you dig it, we'd love to have you along but if not, that's totally cool too! The whole point of this post was to get out in front of it so you have enough time to make up your mind before August ticks over. As always if you have any questions, leave a comment here or @Gamra on Discord and we'll keep this thing going.
