BILL TROWELL HAS HIS OWN MUSIC VIDEO CHANNEL!
In July 2020 Bill launched his own music video channel. Several people have already signed up and are really enjoying it. Not only do you hear Bill’s music, which you know and love, but there’s a whole new level of artistry in the beautiful videos that his producer Jake creates. Watch here!
Here is a sample Video from Bill’s Patreon Collection – become a Patron to get access to the entire library!
My Dear Friends, Fans, and Followers,
I am embarking upon the most exciting episode of my sixty year musical life.
Recent events and an ever changing world have led me to the realization that it is high time for me to record my entire repertoire. It is my intention to put 1,000
pieces on my own YouTube channel. Those of you who have been with me for
many years know that this is possible – but I can’t do it alone. I need, as the lyric
says, “a little help from my friends.” You.
My beautiful old Knabe Baby Grand, which sits in our cathedral ceilinged
“Great Room” here at home in the woods of Maine, is now surrounded by
cameras from all angles. When I perform a piece, it is recorded by all cameras.
When finished, I send all takes to my amazing producer in Hollywood. He puts his beautifully artistic mastery to work and creates a video, combining shots from all takes, as well as incredibly touching imagery from nature and many other sources of inspiration. He sends me back his finished product for my approval. Most of the time my first viewing moves me to tears.
Next, we post them to my YouTube channel. Although YouTube is public, my
channel is private. It can only be accessed by my patrons. Here’s how we do this.
An entity called Patreon holds the keys to my private channel. My fans,
through www.patreon.com/billtrowellmusic, pledge monthly monetary support
for me. Then they, Patreon, unlock the door for you and allow you to view my
entire collection. Anytime you wish. Access is 24/7. We can share virtual time
together anytime you invite me into your home. We can have coffee together in
the morning; we can take tea in the afternoon; we can share quiet moments in
the evening; I’ll tuck you in at night.
Monthly monetary support. Sounds expensive, yes? No.
For as little as $8 dollars/month, you are welcomed in! You have access to my
library. You can have me play for you anytime you wish. With higher levels of
support come other perks – requests, bonus videos, private time with me at
home, etc. You pick whatever level you are comfortable with.
Time and technology move on.
My first audio recordings 25 years ago were on cassette tape. Cassettes were
the new technology, replacing 8-track, which replaced reel-to-reel tape decks,
which replaced vinyl records, etc. Within a very short time, cassettes were
replaced by CDs. Many of you have my CDs, and they are still available for purchase in my online Store.
We have now reached the time when it is no longer necessary to “record” onto
a hard medium, replicate that medium and sell copies to fans. ALL of my music is now available “in cyberspace”, if you will.
It is my intention to play until I die. EVERYTHING I play will be augmented by
lovely video imagery, and posted to my YouTube channel for my fans to enjoy. I
am so very excited and happy to be sharing all of this with you, the people who
have made it possible. I love playing for you. Your support will allow me to play
for you for the rest of our lives.
With Warmth and Gratitude, Bill
