    UPDATE! Brian Camelio Interview on MP3 (11 MB)

    artistShare offers web-based services to creative types of all kinds to connect them and the by-products of their creativity...much more than just the art, but the "creative process"...with fans in new and hopefully more innovative ways. Maria Schneider is sharing her latest work, "Concert In The Garden" with music fans via artistShare. Here's how Brian was quoted on the subject,

    "The key thing was when I realized that anyone could download music for free," Mr. Camelio said. "I got to thinking: what's the one thing you can't download, the one thing that the artist can hold on to? The answer: the creative process. That's the product I'm offering: the creative process."

    To a surprising degree, these special features are also turning out to be the most lucrative part of the package. As of last week, Ms. Schneider's online customers were spending an average of $53, nearly three times the price of the CD.

    It may be that few people beyond her fans will even learn about her new record. Ms. Schneider mentions her Web site at her concerts, and she's hired a publicist for press and radio promotion. Then again, she noted, "jazz is so siphoned off from the rest of the culture, I'm not sure people who aren't fans of mine find their way to my music anyhow.""

    And there's a lot more to Brian, as this Google Search will show to all that follow it...
