One year ago, Vanessa and I decided we’d give Patreon a try. Many of our friends were/are on Patreon, and taking into consideration how much we create and produce, we thought it could be fun to accumulate all of it in this new (for us) and fascinating place. And perhaps even get paid while doing it. Well, so far, so good! Since our inception one year ago, we have apparently posted 273 times (including loads of unreleased music, films, poems, cut-ups, private photos, news, updates, general writings and more). Perhaps this is less than if you’d look at ten years of Facebook or Instagram, but still… The Patreon feed has a more distinct life of its own compared to the other giant black holes of social media narcissism. Why? Because there is a little story here. A kind of very personal history writing. Intimate and uncensored. Genuine. As the messages are directed to our patrons (whom we regard as real friends, given the support angle) it definitely becomes a very personal sphere...
