This is Luftrum. Some of you may know me from the Luftrum: Ambient sound library for Alchemy. I’m a sound designer. Designing presets is my hobby and getting lost in space nailing down the perfect ambient pad is where I recharge my batteries. I am also an employee in a large medical company focused on diabetes care and then I’m “just” an ordinary family guy and father of two girls – 3 and 6 years old, princess terrorists I tell ya
and my two most precious beings on this planet. I’m sure the parents among you will agree when it comes to your children and priorities of life – funny how it all turns upside down once you become a parent. Well, that was kind of off topic. Beside the two girls I got a sponsor child in Cap Verde and this leads me back to the topic: Charity!
I am writing this to announce that all sales from my soundbanks during September including royalties, will be given away to a yet undecided charity organisation. It will be either an organisation covering children’s life and healthor an organisation for environmental protection.
I am also writing this almost a month in advance, aiming towards plugin developers, audio companies and individuals to join effort in an unofficial KVR Charity Fund Raising during September – as Bob Hope once said: ”If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.”
The charity organisation who will recieve the funds will be chosen by KVR members through a poll. The companies and developers who participate in this event will also have the option to choose the specific charity organisation to be voted for. The organisation will be within either of the two specified above. You can donate in two ways:
Companies and sound developer individuals:
- Set up a donation button on your website, with a link to this thread
- Donate a percentage of September sales to the charity event
- Set up a donation event ie. a charity group buy, an auction of a product bundle or a pay-what-you-want for a specific product
- Donate a specific amount.
Other individuals:
- Buy from the Sound Dev Charity list below. The list contains companies and sound developer individuals who participates in the charity event – as described above
- Donate to anyone on the Sound Dev Charity list who got a charity donation button on their website.
When you have donated, please reply to this topic and show your fellow KVR members how YOU became the change! When September ends we will count the charity raised and get a KVR ambassador to hand over the funds to the chosen organisation.
Now, the most important thing everyone can do and I cannot amplify the importance of this enough whether you donate or not: SPREAD THE WORD!Facebook, Twitter, websites, magazines, e-zines or if you are an editorial person with access to media or magazine coverage etc. any PR will do – please help spread the message and bump this thread.
Again, I am writing this almost a month in advance to get dev’s to consume the idea and prepare whatever to be prepared before deadline and starting dateThursday September 1st and lasting until Friday September 30th Companies and sound developer individuals contact me by PM or email to get listed on the Sound Dev Charity list below.
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” ~Abraham Joshua Heschel.
I sincerely hope this will grow.
Yours,
