'Project X' - Description

'Project X' is the work-under-progress title of the new
site coming soon. The site will replace all our previous
sites (autechre.nu, aphextwin.nu and plaid.cjb.net), but
will also cover a lot of other artists, like: bola, jega,
boc, the black dog, passarani, squarepusher, brothomstates,
alder&elius, ovuca, bogdan
, etc etc...

It will hopefully turn out to be THE community for
electronic music. There are lots of reasons/benefits for
doing this lot, here are some:

- one single url
- cheaper for me
- easier to update the site with news
- be able to implement solutions for one single site
- personally im interested in VARIOUS artists and i want to
cover them all

ALL contents from our previous sites will be merged into the
'Project X'... sorry for the lame project title....but
whatever... :-)

Ask your Project X related questions here so we could use
this thread as a resource for newcomers as well. I will
delete off-topic messages found in this topic.

jand: thanks. i dunno about you lot, but im really into a
lot of
electronica artists and some of them are quite
underestimated and almost invisible on the web...

in the end we'll have a complete discography covering 25-30
artists.

Will there be one big MB, or seperate ones for each artist
and a general community one?

I don't think you should be affraid of charging a nominal/
fair subscription/fee. This is a fun site, it's a bit
unfair that you should take the whole financial burden. I
don't know how many members there are but if the cost was
shared I'm sure it would be a very minimal.

Will project X have differents mb for every artist or only
one for all together? It could be a mess if 100ppl speak
about AFX other 100 about Autechre other 100 about
Squarepusher in the same mb.

Will you create a complete discography for every artist?
They seem to be a lot of musicians and so it would mean lot
of work for you.

btw: Don't forget µziq

jivver: Since only 35% were willing to pay for the site
(according to a previous poll), maybe we'll have to
implement two different types of member accounts:

- Premium members (lots of priviligies)
- Standard members (basic account)

I think this is the best solution. We're not talking about
much money here. Only a few dollars per year.

For comparison: Got my bill for the new site last week
(webspace+domain) -> $370 USD. (aphextwin.nu and autechre.nu
NOT included). So, now you know...

I think the posts here can be divided into 4 categories:

Aphex Twin related.
Other Artist related.
Music related (e.g. composition analysis, member's tracks).
Other.

You could have a MB for each artist and then a more general
"other" one.

Well, I dont have a credit card and to think that I couldnt
use this site because of THAT makes me very frustrated...
You should rather make and sell Phobiazero T-shirts or some
other merchandize... Or design a Britteny Speers site and
let the tons of money from that site fund project-x : )

woofer: yes, it'll be a complete discography, but not a
static one. the useraccounts will be heavily integrated into
the discography which will make it a pretty interactive
discography in some ways. cant tell ya more right now. sorry
for rambling nonsense. :-D

i wont forget µ-ziq :-)

I think it could be nice to have at least one mb for
autechre and one for Aphex, 'cos a lot of fun from
aphextwin.nu and autechre.nu could be nostalgics. :)

What's about banners and commercials on your site? Will you
think to some sponsor or not?

i'll try to avoid it. but it depends on the income from the

It sounds brilliant! looking forward =)

But personally, i would prefer some banners instead of
having to pay money over the net for real =O

this needs some serious thougt.

But it sounds like its gonna work! =)
