Hi @afrorack, I am local to Chicago, do you need any volunteers?

edit: Of course after it is safe to do so.

Hi @adrianf , That sounds great! Lets keep the conversation going and I’ll let you know when the time is right to join forces somehow.

Thank you for sharing this link, it seems like a really great cause. I have made a small donation myself!

@afrorack I am relatively software-based these days but have a lot of experience in music production and would be more than happy to create some video content for you on any aspects of music production/sound design if that would help at all (I am UK based))

I have a TE PO-33 sampler I was about to sell but I would much rather either donate this directly to you or have a raffle that is entered by people sending me a screenshot receipt of a $5 donation to you. (if they donate $10 that is 2 entries etc). Let me know if it would be more use to have the sampler itself or the donations and I will go from there!

@lukeblicero thank you so much for your donation!

Hey, I’d like to explore the possibility of making a short clip or loop for our Instagram page.
As for the PO-33, we would much rather give it to one of our students.

@afrorack Absolutely! So my experience has thus-far been on making tutorials like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bMRrrja-1w&t=638s but I might be able to help with a short clip/loop for instagram! If you want to drop me an email and let me know details and also the address for me to send out the sampler you can reach me here blicero.music@gmail.com

I’ve made a small donation. It’d be great to start something like this in London.

I’ve posted on my IG that all of my Bandcamp proceeds for the month of June will be donated to Afrorack. I don’t expect a huge upswing in sales, but every little bit helps and they are doing great work for the community. If you’d like to donate via my BC you’ll get an album to boot.

This particular link has been posted in the Make Noise thread, but it’s relevant here due to the interview between Kelly and @afrorack in issue three of the Make Noise Zine:
