Does The Audience Still Matter?
Can The Audience Still Make A Difference?
Well, Let's Find Out...
From Time to Time, we'll post various literary, materials, ideas, and projects, etc
To give YOU [The Audience] a VOICE, a chance to get INVOLVED..
Or anything we believe that will make a difference in both our lives
As it also relates to the music and entertainment
industry.

"Knowledge is Nothing without Action behind it"...
Saving Independent Music: (The Community GiveBack Project)
We are conducting an experiment to see how the involvement of the audience and the power of the Internet may or may not be successful while simultaneously trying to increase the exposure of independent music.
Are you tired of the same 5 or 6 songs being played on the radio? Are you tired of the consolidation of your favorite music artists and businesses, which results in their potential "vanishing" forever in a huge merger? Did it count..the last time you voted on something? Well, we want to see if "the little guy" can compete on the same level as the "major players".
We do NOT promise anything, including stock options, cash prizes, involvement in decisions or fabulous gifts of any kind, but if this project proves to be successful, we intend to surprise one audience member [who contributed no higher than $1 (one dollar, U.S. currency) in single/ separate mailings] after the end of each calendar quarter by "giving something back". The "give back" may include such examples as a music CD, movie tickets, opportunities to see plays/ theatre shows/ concerts, or maybe pay a bill/ expense for you. Being this all depends on the success of this project and the response of the contributions, we cannot promise anything other than as long as this project is supported by each audience member mailing of $1 (U.S. currency), we will try to keep independent music [in various genres] alive and strong by the artists, writers, and talent we select to work with on our record label [Enigmatism Recordings], our publishing division [The Original S.N.I.P.E.R. Music Publishing], our production company [Sirge Sound Productions], and by NOT merging with "the big guys" for as long [at least] as the duration of this project. "Who Says A Dollar Doesn't Go A Long Way?!!" .
Because of the limitations in resources and finances of an independent company, we have to emphasize any potential "give back" to the community will be limited to the United States Of America [for now]. If this project is successful, maybe we can extend it [only then] outside of the U.S.A.; however, anyone may contribute to our efforts of this project.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
You are not obligated to contribute to our efforts (of course), or to continue to if you have already once before to this project,...but if you choose to contribute $1 (maximum in any single mailing), please do so with the following info:
Make your $1 (U.S. currency) contribution payable [via Money Order] to: Enigmatism Recordings
Mail your financial contributions to:
SIRGE CONGLOMERATE
P.O. Box 22880
Brooklyn, New York 11202-2880 USA
Attn: Saving Indie Music
OR
You are welcome to make a secured payment/ contribution via our PayPal feature here. If you are
viewing this page from the parent company site (ie. you see the huge "Sirge Conglomerate" banner
at the top of the page), you may have to "right-click/ open" this page's URL address into a new
window for the paypal button to work properly. Thank
you for your generosity from all of us.
THANK YOU ALL and GOD Bless !!
Please NOTE: Include in your mailing: your complete name, address and contact information in the event [our project is successful and we select to "give back" to you], and you give us permission to also give you some sort of public "thanks" for your involvement in our project/ experiment (i.e. public "thanks" via our website, credit on liner notes of a CD, etc). Also know that we cannot "give back" to everyone who participates in this project, but understand we will be random should we select an individual(s) to "give back" to.
You may contribute as many times as you wish, but if we select an individual(s) to "give back" to, you may not be a recipient more than twice in any same year OR twice in two consecutive calendar quarters [to be fair to other contributors].
REASONS FOR THE PROJECT
Also, please do NOT contribute for any expectations of receiving anything; however, our "philosophy" for trying this experiment is simply stated as "take care of home and home will take care of you". In other words, how many artists or industry execs have "thanked you" for your support in helping them reach their goals, dreams and agenda by you simply being to them...a thoughtful and loyal consumer.
Another reason for trying this project out is that we come in contact with many great independent artists who may not get as much exposure as the major label artists. Therefore, we thought how can we possibly do what we love [music], bring in more resources, "give back" to the community, and possibly assist other independent artists and musicians [maybe via future invitations to perform on compilation releases on our label] gain some more exposure? So was born the idea of "Saving Independent Music: The Community GiveBack Project".
If this project does what we hope, you [the audience] will experience
the appreciation from us here. The more successful this project is,
the more we'll possibly be able to achieve, the more opportunities we'll
be able to extend, and the more we'll possibly be able to "give back"
to the community in various areas. Therefore, the question is: can a
dollar really make a difference? Well, you tell us....or better yet...show
us.
RECENT AND PAST CONTRIBUTIONS
We use a percentage of the money to "give back" to community
and music areas (ie. children in independent programs to learn music
& sports, indie artists w/ their exposure, community outreach programs,
etc.). We [as a collective company..meaning the various divisions] have
already in the recent past [as early as 2002 to the present] given
to fund raising events and charities such as AIDS Walk
and also for Breast Cancer Research..so it's all for
a common good.
EXCEPTIONS
An exception to the $1 (one dollar U.S. currency) maximum [per each single mailing] is if there are any prominent figures (i.e. celebrity, established media or business moguls, well established entrepreneurs, etc.) taking notice of our efforts and; therefore, would like to contribute more than the $1 maximum, you are welcome. Please also understand these "well-to-do" prominent figures may not be eligible for the "give back" for obvious reasons. Employees and staff are ineligible to be recipients as so are the relatives of said employees and staff [again for obvious reasons]. We'd also like to state that any amount or contribution is appreciated, in that it assists us in our efforts to continue what we all here love [music].

Native E-Music Awards: Sirge Is Selected To Be A Judge
Among the many projects, events and goals sometimes are "perks" or things which come along one's road to success which makes it feel pleased to be a part of a positive process in the music and entertainment industry.
Besides staying busy with his own company's projects such as working on a compilation to bring further exposure to certain independent artists [he's encountered] and his own solo effort on his own indie record label [Enigmatism Recordings], finding placement of songs and providing services for his publishing company's [The Original S.N.I.P.E.R. Music Publishing] catalogue in addition to outside clients, and just staying aware of causes worth while getting involved with...it's always a pleasure to stop and be a part of another entity's process.

Sirge: Panel Judge |
Sirge has been selected to be a judge in the Native E-Music Awards. He feels it an honor to be a part of the music event in that it recognizes the contributions made by Native American and Aboriginal people. He is already a member of several industry organizations such as ASCAP, NARAS, and SoundExchange, and; therefore, looks forward to sharing more of his music knowlege and experience to this music awards event in addition to simply doing what music lovers do...enjoy and appreciate good music.
More information can be found here on the link to their site [Native E-Music Awards] and you may also view a brief, but constantly revised bio of Sirge in the "Judging" area of their site [in addition to others in the industry also selected as judges].
The event was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico in September 2008.

Clothing Line Store: Da'Beat Barn & Da"Beat Barn2 !!!
Yep, it had to happen sooner or later (!!!). We've begun the beginning stages of our own apparell. The name/ brand of the clothing line is not disclosed until a full complete line in the future is launched; however, everyone may currently show their support of the two online stores we have at the moment...Da'Beat Barn and Da'Beat Barn2.
While both online apparell stores have similar items and gear, the first may be somewhat pricey for some individuals. However, if you can shop the department stores, you can shop at ours (thanks, much appreciated for those who do).
Many of the ventures which generate revenue for our company are usually either re-invested back into the company or channeled to various areas in which to give back to causes. It can range in anything from just helping independent artists put out great music, creating employment opportunities for some, contributing efforts and money to non-profit causes, and other agendas which assists in philanthropic means. Therefore, you never know when supporting any of our causes..you indirectly help support another's cause.
Thank you for checking out BOTH clothing line store links below !
The first online apparell venture to rise out of The Sirge Conglomerate. Here you may purchase various t-shirts, hoodies, baby outfits, shoulder bags and nap-saks,...and in doing so, you're showing love and support to the music efforts of our company. We shall be adding items as we go along; therefore please let others know about us.
Some of our items are centered around the music, artists, and all things related towards our independent music and record label. Be sure it will also later include a complete fashion line in which the only relation to music may only be the BRAND (ie. the name...to be disclosed later).
|
Sample Item |
 |
This online apparell venture is similar to the first, with the exception of having the items somewhat more affordable. We've also included a few maternity shirts for the expecting ladies. You may still find some of the same great gear as in our first online store above this posting. As in the above store, we will also be increasing what's offered in our inventory in this store here as well over time; therefore, definitely do return frequently and pass along the new !
The Inside Track
From time-to-time we'll post a "teaser" of information you may or may not wish to have in it's entirety. These "blasts" of information hopefully can be of use to many of you; however, we understand "one cannot please everyone". In order for you to obtain the particular piece of information, we will require a "retainer/ consultant fee" of which would be disclosed for each piece of information "teaser" we post. We thank you and hope they are to your liking.
Secret Shopper Job/ Gigs
We are in possession of a small list of companies which in turn for your work as a "consumer/ secret shopper", they will pay you. In some cases [depending upon the project] you are able to keep the merchandise you "shop" for. These projects can range from clothing stores, restaurants, banks, home improvement venues, etc. In general, the companies basically would give you an assignment to go in and pose as a consumer/ customer, write up your experience as the customer and submit your report to the company which gave you the assignment, and get paid for it.
To clear things up in the beginning, our fee is NOT for you to get a "shopper" gig, but rather is the fee to know the information you're getting is legit.You may decide afterwards whether you wish to do assignments they have. This means that a few of us here in our company has done "mystery shopping" for the companies on our list; therefore, we're providing YOU with name(s)/ info of companies which indeed already have assignments and DO pay you. This to some is crucial because we've already done the legwork and had the headaches of trying to learn which were real and which were not. We have a short list of several companies; therefore, you can decide if you wish to pay our retainer/ consultant fee for one or more.
*Our consultant fee for this: = $40 per company info requested.
Submission Method of our Consultant/ Retainer Fee (for all "Inside Track" postings)
Therefore if you are interested in this information, you may FWD the "retainer/ consultant fee" to us via PayPal from your account to ours. The email we have registered there..for your convenience of the money transfer is "info@sirgesound.com" . Please remember to leave us a message in the "send money" feature of PayPal disclosing WHY you are transferring money to us and we will get the information to you shortly thereafter. Please be patient as we are at times are entertaining many inquiries; therefore, give us within a week to get the information to you before attempting to contact us. You may also select to use our PayPal "donate button" for the "Save Indie Music/ Community GiveBack Project" located on the 1st quarter of this page above. We aren't sure if it allows you the option to include the note to us; therefore you may have to email us the regular way after you've FWD'd our consultant fee if it doesn't.
$1 FAX SERVICE (New York City area [for now] only)
If you have a document or documents you need to fax within New York (ie. Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Long Island, Staten Island), you may email it to us [with number and info to fax to] in Microsoft Word doc file format to Info@SirgeSound.com and submit our fee in the drop-down menu directly below via major credit card, bank account or PayPal account. Ignore the "Quantity" box that appears when paying on the form UNLESS you need more pages to send than we've posted below. We'll refund the difference once an agreed amount has been reached by both of us..OR you may resort to the "More Pages" suggestion down below...than you.
* $1 [1 to 20 pages]
* $3 [21 to 40 pages]
* $5 [41 to 60 pages]
* $7 [61 to 80 pages]
* $9 [81 to 100 pages]
