Friends,
After a bit more than one year since the creation of our project, we are happy to tell you that our initial dreams came true - www.psybient.org is online and became a useful and interesting resource, visited regularly by many music lovers from all over the world
We started this project, because we believe that psybient downtempo music has a positive impact on human mind and it reconnects us both to ancient world of sounds and to eternal cosmic energy of the universe! We all know that good music is beneficial for body, mind and spirit!
Today we want to share with you our new dream !
With your participation, we would like to bring to life new psybient.org internet forum - a unique place where we can chill-out and grow together.
Over the past year we’ve received a great deal of feedback from the community and we want to continue this journey with you, we feel that there is a need of a dedicated online space where we could hang-out, communicate and exchange, a space to share and learn, to support each other and create together! This space will be not limited to music discussion, contrary we would like to host discussions about different subjects and all down-beat, ambient and experimental sound.
Today, we want to ask for your participation and help us raise funds necessary to bring this project to life and finance the setup of the forum.This easy to use online tool will allow us to fluidify information exchange and help psychedelic ambient downtempo scene to be more present and active in the global internet multiverse of information. We believe that it will make the downtempo community stronger !

How to bring this project to life? Spread the word and help us out with donations (perk's start with only $1)
With the small participation of each of us we can easily fund this (even the small perks of $1-$5 will make difference and help us).
If you can’t support us monetarily, you can still help us out! Just spread the word:
So, why exactly do we need this money?
psybient.org project that exists thank's to a very small number of volunteers. We are happy to donate daily our time, and energy to the project.
Creation of online forum will require important financial investments in hosting and software. And as this forum is planned for everyones use, we believe that is is necessary to do a community effort to fund it.
Your help will not only allow us to use one of the best professional tools and by this save our time, but it will show us that you believe in our idea and that you plan to use it. It will help us to understand if our efforts will be appreciated.
here is our planned project estimations for the setup and maintenance of forum during first year:
- purchase of a professional forum software IPB (Invision Power Board). We have studied "free" solutions, but unfortunately we conclude that only with a paid "pro" solution we will be able to get the up-to-dated, secure and and easy to use tool. Cost - 175 euro.
- installation services - 100 euro.
-
IPB support for 1 year - 50 euro.
-
Cloud forum web hosting - 200 euro.
- Crowd-funding fees (indiegogo fees + bank fees will take 10% of the campaign) - 50 eu
- forum “skin” (responsive and customisable ) - 25 euro
- forum plugins and hooks IPSConnect (integration tool for psybient.org website) - 50-100 euro
The total cost will be around 700 euros (equivalent of 888 us dollars). All money raised above the necessary sum will be invested in the future development of forum. In fact, in the following years we will have less expenses and will have to cover only support and hosting. (around 200 euros per year). So the more we fund now the better.
Why not interact in facebook?
Although social media sites dominate our time and internet usage, interesting information and discussion are getting lost in the gigabytes of information and selfies.
What You Get ? Perks and supporter rewards
As it usuals happens in crowdfunding we have prepared a interesting rewards to thank you for participation. All supporter starting from $10 will be able to download for free one or more albums of ambient downtempo music (music listing below).

We would like to thanks to the following labels that have donated their music: Altar, Cosmicleaf, Dreaming Awakening, Dubmission, Green tree, Virtual, Maia Brasil, Merkaba, Microcosmos, Mikelabella, Mystic Sound, Ovnimoon, Sonic Loom, Spaceradio, Suntrip and Trimurti.
