My Final Message To You, Dear Patrons..

As I already mentioned, starting December, I will no longer upload my music on Tabletop Music Bazaar since I teamed up with Michael Ghelfi Music, and I will continue with my work on Michael's patreon where you will be able to continue supporting our work and get much more content than ever before. Michael & I have big plans for the future but It will take some time to get things going since this is a big step in both our music careers. If you already liked my music then you will definitely love Michael's ambiances, and this talented man composed hundreds of them.

It was a true pleasure to be your Bard! You adventurers are the reason why I still write music today and if it wasn't for your incredible support I might have quit on music long time ago, to be honest. You helped me grow emotionally, but also professionally. To evolve as a person and become a better version of myself. But you also gave me an opportunity to work for the best community and people I could ever wish for. I truly hope, and would be happy to see you all join me and Michael in this next chapter, where together we will continue to  provide you with our music, ambiences and sound effects and make your grand campaigns sound more immersive and epic than ever before.

FAQ:

Will this transition have an impact on my creators license?

• Starting December 1st. when I start working with Michael, creators license will be available to 15$ & 35$ patrons in two different versions. I know it is a big difference from what I originally offered at TMB, but in my opinion it's worth it even if it's pricier as you'll get access to hundreds of ambiences and SFX. So if you still plan to include my music backlog from TMB in your modules and patreon releases after November, you will have an option to get license by subscribing to $15 tier on Michael Ghelfi Music. My compositions' backlog won't be available on Michael's patreon, so for everyone who is still potentially interested in keeping the creators license there is a link below from where you can download all the songs at once. Be sure to download all my music by the end of December since the link won't be available after that.

(available to $3+ patrons)
Link no longer available

Will I still be able to use your music and ambiances for streaming, podcasts, videos?

•  Off course! Michael's rules and conditions on the matter are not that different than my own. You can use our work for free, just credit us with links to YouTube and Patreon. If it’s impossible, just recommend our work out loud.

What changes?

The way we deliver content on MGM will be different from how I did it so far. Michael already wrote the entire plan for future Tier options, as we agreed on, so here's it is!

• 3$ - Guild Members

4 new orchestral songs per month. What used to be a purely support-oriented tier now gets some content in return.

• 5$ - Adventurer

The new 3$ content. Beside that, nothing changes.

• 10$ - Guardians

The new 3$ content. On top of that, 4 additional songs for a total of eight tracks per month.

(Deleted) "Bonus : Free albums". I used to distribute my new ambiences albums to all guardians. Now it's a Paladin thing. However, the new songs far exceeds the value of a few free albums per year.

• 15$ - Mage

One "Adventure Theme" per month. What is it ? It's a 30 minutes thematical piece of music. Filip and I will work together to also distribute ambiences and SFX, to make a big thematic pack. Also expect collaborations with other artists on that (Maps, Tokens, etc.)

Variations of some tracks : Piano version, subdued, other instruments, looped, etc.

• 35$ - Paladin

All new music and ambiences albums for free. Filip will compose at least one full orchestral album on top of his usual compositions. This album won't be released on Patreon, but only on Bandcamp/Spotify, etc... Except if you are a Paladin. You also get my new ambiences albums.

• 100$ - Deity

Free orchestral composition : Filip will compose a track based on your needs. The piece will be shared with the other patrons afterwards. Other conditions may apply.

What about the custom music you composed for us so far on TMB? 

• This topic concerns my Bard's Vault Of Wonders members. I will contact all 5 of you individually on discord about this!

What made you decide to join Michael Ghelfi Music and put TMB on hold?

• Gold! Haha, just kidding. Although for a change, it will be a nice thing not to think about the financials all the time, and just focus on creative stuff, stress free! How about that?

For the past few weeks, maybe a month, Michael and I spent countless hours talking about our music, D&D and what could we potentially do to take the audio in ttrpg community to the next level. It turns out, we have a lot in common! I always wanted to do more for you folks, but unfortunately there was not enough time since for the past 2 years I spent 6-8 hours a day writing music, and published around 1 hour of music per month. Same thing troubled Michael, as he invested hours into composing ambiances and he was left with very little time to write music, which also sounds brilliant. So since Michael Ghelfi universe was already well known and established brand, the next logical step was to have me included into it, because I could help with providing my music for the wider audience in ttrpg community and finally have the opportunity to make a name for myself as a composer. I hope you will all realize how much this opportunity means to me, as an artist, as a person who lives for the sole purpose to make as much people happy as possible with music. You, my lovely patrons played a big part in my life, and as I mentioned before, I would be honored to go into this exciting new adventure with you all. You can already join us on The Eyrie discord server where I will personally, wholeheartedly, welcome you all into our new home!

Love you all very very much, stay safe!
