() Consulted on February 7th, 2015〕 It also operates as a record label and business model for creative artists which enables them to fund their projects by allowing the general public to directly finance, watch the creative process, and in most cases gain access to extra material from an artist.〔(02.12.2008: Addendum to recent Wired Article (Part II) Model Number 7: Fan Supported Label/Distribution ), David Byrne's Journal, February 12, 2008. Consulted on October 7, 2011.〕 According to Bloomberg News, the company’s chief executive officer, Brian Camelio, founded ArtistShare in 2000 with the idea that fans would finance production costs for albums sold only on the Internet and Artists also would enjoy much more favourable contract terms.〔Patrick Cole, (ArtistShare taps Web, fans to earn its musicians money, Grammys ), livemint.com, February 7, 2008. Consulted on October 8, 2011〕 ArtistShare was described in 2005 as a "completely new business model for creative artists" which "benefits both the artist and the fans by financing new and original artistic projects while building a strong and loyal fan base". ==History== A United States based company, ArtistShare (2001) is documented as being the first crowdfunding website 〔 followed later by sites such as Sellaband (2006), SliceThePie (2007), IndieGoGo (2008), Spot.us (2008), Pledge Music (2009), and Kickstarter (2009).〔 ArtistShare projects have received 9 Grammy awards and 18 Grammy nominations to date.〔ArtistShare - About Us () Consulted on March 24, 2012〕 In 2005, American composer Maria Schneider's ''Concert in the Garden'' became the first album in Grammy history to win an award without being available in retail stores.〔 The album was ArtistShare's first fan-funded project. Schneider received four nominations that year for the fan-funded album and won the Grammy for ''Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album''.〔Maria Schneider Discography - Concert in the Garden () Consulted on October 8, 2011〕〔Maria Schneider at Grammy.com () Consulted on October 8, 2011〕 According ArtistShare.com, ArtistShare artists consist of "some of today's most prestigious artists including Pulitzer prize and Oscar nominated writers, Guggenheim fellowship recipients and NEA Jazz Masters".〔 Schneider is quoted as saying ''"At the time we set out to make this record (in the Garden ), no company in the industry was doing anything like ArtistShare. ArtistShare, led by Brian Camelio, has done more to change this industry to benefit artists than anyone else up until this time." ''〔Maria Schneider () Consulted on October 11, 2011〕 Phish founder and guitarist Trey Anastasio describes ArtistShare as being "quite possibly the future of the music industry".〔Trey Anastasio () consulted on December 26, 2011〕 In May 2013, ArtistShare partnered with Blue Note Records to form a collaboration titled 'Blue Note/ArtistShare'. The Blue Note/ArtistShare collaboration was forged by Brian Camelio, Bruce Lundvall, and Don Was, President of Blue Note Records. In Blue Note's press release about the collaboration, Lundvall, Blue Note Chairman Emeritus, is quoted as saying ''"ArtistShare founder Brian Camelio is a true visionary. I see the ArtistShare business model as a key component of the future music business.''"〔Blue Note Records () Consulted on October 24, 2013〕 The collaboration will "''essentially serve as a low-risk development arm of the label,"'' since the recordings will be funded by the fans. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ArtistShare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
