For musicians
Sell the record. Find the drummer
One page that sells your merch and your pressings, streams your music to anyone, prices a licence for the people who pay properly, and puts you in a room with every other musician, engineer, filmmaker and designer who makes things for a living.
The maths
A thousand streams is a coffee. One licence is a month of rent
Nothing about a streaming service is designed to pay you, and nothing about it puts you in front of the person who would have paid you four thousand dollars for the same track. Those two people — the listener and the supervisor — need entirely different pages, and almost every musician only has one.
On Phyrne a release does both. The public presses play and can buy the record. A supervisor presses play and sees a price list, a rights-holder and a licence they can buy without an email.
The selling half
Everything a band sells, on one page
Records and downloads
Pressings, tapes, lossless downloads, the demo you only half meant to release. Numbered editions count down in public.
Read moreMerch
Shirts, posters, patches, tour prints. Your postage terms, your handling time, and no marketplace fee on top of ours.
Licences
Sync, editorial, commercial and venue, priced by you and bought without a negotiation you were not awake for.
Read morePatronage
The people who would fund the next record if you asked them. Studio notes, demos, a test pressing in the post.
Read moreA listening party
Host one for the record, in a room, and point it at your shop so the people who came can buy it afterwards.
Read morePayouts
Stripe Connect into the band's account. Our 8%, Stripe's fee, and the rest is yours.

The players, the rooms and the people who make the sleeve
-
Post the call you have been avoiding
A guitarist, Thursdays, Brooklyn. A cellist for two afternoons. Somebody who can read a chart and get to a rehearsal room by seven. Members answer, and accepting one opens the conversation.
-
Swap for the things you cannot afford yet
A mix for a music video. A poster for a support slot. Both sides write it down and agree before anything ships.
-
Play a listening party
A record played properly, start to finish, in a room, before anybody has an opinion online. Members host them; so can you.
-
Meet the people who work next door
The filmmaker who needs a score, the illustrator who wants to do a sleeve, the engineer with a free Tuesday. This is most of what the club turns out to be.
I sold eleven test pressings to people who found me through a film I scored, and I found the film through a card on a board that said composer wanted, no money yet, probably a festival. Both halves of the same account.
