Questions
The ones worth answering
before you pay a dollar.
- What do I actually get for a dollar?
- Lifetime access to every Gentle Collapse release. Vol I is on the streaming platforms; everything after it comes out here and to the mailing list, and nowhere else. Both projects, the solo records and the band records.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. One payment, once. Nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel, and you will not be charged again.
- Will the new music be on Spotify?
- No. Vol I is up there and will stay up, but the volumes after it are only released here. That is the point of the dollar: it pays for making them, so they do not have to earn their keep on a platform.
- Why a dollar?
- Because a million small things add up to something a few large things never will. A dollar is low enough that it isn't a decision, and a million people paying it is enough to make records without asking permission from anyone in between.
- Is the dollar in Canadian?
- Yes. The project is based on Vancouver Island and prices are in Canadian dollars, so the charge is CA$1.
- Can I pay more than a dollar?
- You can. The dollar is the floor, not the ask — the checkout lets you set the amount. Paying more doesn't get you more; it funds the next record sooner.
- How do I get to my music after joining?
- You get a link by email that signs you into your library. No password to invent or forget — ask for the link again any time and it arrives in your inbox.
- What format are the downloads?
- Lossless where the master allows it, and high-bitrate MP3 alongside, so the files play on anything without you having to think about it.
- What if something goes wrong?
- Email hello@gentlecollapse.com and a person will answer. If you paid and can't reach your music, that gets fixed or refunded — it isn't complicated enough to need a policy.
Still a dollar. Still not a subscription.
