Hi guys,

I need a couple of interview partners for my MSc dissertation in Sociology. It's about Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) pricing systems (eg Bandcamp) for music outlets. So what I'm interested in is how a) producers chose how to publish their work and how b) listeners pick what they find good and c) how both expect others to behave. Radiohead for instance conducted such an experiment in 2007, when they released their album In Rainbows. Focus will be independent music however. I'm more interested in microstructures of music scenes than the big players (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon etc).

If I can get about 4-6 people that would be fantastic. Note, this is a casual and rather informal interview, I'm just asking a couple of questions about music. So, if you have used Bandcamp or are familiar with similar types of payment systems, please message me. I'm currently based in central London but we can do this on Skype as well. Time-wise I'm flexible, it would be great if we could do this within the next month. You can PM me or answer directly and I'll send you my email address.

cheers :)
 
It would be great if someone could help me out!

Thanks. :)
 
oronimbus,
being that you are, essentially, a drop & an unknown people will be disinclined to trust you.
Can you establish your bonafides in some way?
 
If you message me your questions I'll reply with my answers. :)
 
Great thank you very much!
@rayc: I'm fully aware of that and to be honest I did not expect the search for interview partners to be that hard. As I'm quite embedded in the music scene (as well as music forums), I did expect more responsiveness in the first place. But then, that might have been a bit naive.
I really appreciate every single response and the fact that you're taking your time for something :)

Thinking about that, that fits neatly into my thesis!
 
I participated. Questions were good. Got me thinking about a subject I don't spend much time thinking about.
 
I'll do it by email as well if you're still looking for more peeps.
 
Sure, always interested in your views!

I'll send you a pm with my email address.
