The idea to take off your hat and of course, from the hand of a musician. Enrique Sierra, former guitarist Future Radio, is the person behind this innovative project that began to take shape a long time ago. 3 years old. Sierra has a Latin Grammy for his work as a sound engineer on Rosario Flores' album 'Muchas Flores'.”.
The idea is simple and at the same time powerful: offer all content, of many categories related to culture for free. In this way we obtain this interesting exchange: us free content and its creators the possibility of promotion and making themselves known.
This approach is different from what we are used to (Nowadays we have to pay for everything) and marks a clearly different vision of generating business. Users do not have to pay anything to download and creators, designers, composers, etc.. they ensure a direct advertising channel where the greater the number of downloads in the future they will obtain a greater benefit through the advertising inserted in the web. The more you download a song from such an artist, the greater the portion of profit assigned to it.
So upon entering 127.this is, You will find the welcome page where you will find the most downloaded section, whether audio, reports, novels or short films. Also, You will find a menu to directly access the different categories: audio, image, etc.
The only thing they ask you is that you are registered to be able to download. Registration on the other hand that does not take more than a minute and is totally transparent.
Enrique has said that the idea was born from a need: “The music industry is sunk, and one of the problems is that the creators cannot publish their work. Nowadays, with traditional media, you reach very few places and very few people. 127 It is a kind of digital art gallery to make yourself known. Any creator who can digitize their work has a space. Poetry, short stories, animation, photograph, software…”.
You wonder where that name comes from?? Enrique explained that the number 127 is the maximum possible value within the MIDI hexagesimal system (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), used for musical composition with computers and electronic music instruments.
If you stop by there I recommend that you listen to songs like one more fool of DarkSmile and also Psycho Killer from the same author.
As I mentioned, you only need a simple registration to make any type of download and when you download an attached file informs you of something similar to this:
Congratulations.
You have just saved yourself the gift of one of the many creators on the planet
who have their work exhibited in 127.Didn't it cost you anything??
Maybe you too are a creator, and that you also have your pieces in 127 to the
reach other users and creators… and that gives everything a very perspective
interesting to enjoy.¿No?
I hope that the project has the reception it deserves and that it does not change its course in the future..
