Dear Tape Notes member
Thanks so much for supporting us as a Free member! Our Patreon community now has over 19K members and we're really happy you've decided to be one of them! Thanks too to the huge number of you who care enough about Tape Notes to complete our recent Audience Survey! We're taking time to read through all your comments and will update you on the results very soon!
One thing we were struck by is how many of you told us you would love to support us as a paid member but you feel overwhelmed by the number of subscription services out there and financial pressures. We will never pressure you to pay us and we will continue to provide benefits for free, so stick around, escape the algorithm and discover quality, long form music journalism made by independent creatives! It really matters and it's becoming increasingly hard to find.

WHAT OUR PAID MEMBERS ARE ENJOYING THIS MONTH!
What do you get with a paid membership of Tape Notes? Here's what our paying members have been enjoying this month!
Full video episodes with ARLO PARKS and MYLES SMITH!
Extended Players tier and above can watch full video episodes, ad free! We release at least 2 full episodes a month, sometimes three! Every episode is around 90 minutes long - that's 36 hours a year of quality, long form music journalism!
Full video episodes bring you screengrabs of guests' digital audio workspaces, basically lifting the lid on the creative process in a way you won't see anywhere else. If you're a creative, seeing what your favourite artists do in their DAW to make the magic is invaluable.
Detailed gear lists!
Every episode comes with a detailed gear list, including easy to click links, lifting the lid on the tech your favourite artists discuss on the show! Gear lists are available as a benefit with all paid tiers - here's a little taster of what they look like, from our recent episode with voice of her generation Arlo Parks!
Behind the Scenes content!
Exclusive photo and video content from our recordings, only available on Patreon to Extended Players tier and above. See your favourite artist in a different way, take a closer look at the unique locations where we film, often in artists' own studios, and get an insight into what it's really like working for Tape Notes!
Submit questions to artists!
This month, our paying Patreons have submitted questions for revered electronic pioneers Overmono! If our host John Kennedy chooses your question, he'll ask it on the show and namecheck you too!
