About Me and My Efforts:
My name is Jorge Juan B. Wieneke V and I make music under the name "similarobjects". I have a deep-seated passion for sharing knowledge and ushering in growth and evolution through the act of creation- most often in the field of sound and art.

I have a heart for community and education and this is evident with my involvement in the music industry, both locally and globally.
I wish to be a universal connector and with all things in mind, I aim to foster an open-minded future for all. I currently teach Electronic Music as a member of the academe at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde under their AB Music Production Program and I head my own mentorship program/music school called "Cosmic Sonic Arts" where I promote a conscious and spiritual approach to creation.
I believe in always looking beyond what is presented and in the power of intention, frequency and vibration. These are some values that I like to instill among my students and everyone I cross paths with.
Short Summary:
About 4 months ago I signed up for Ableton Loop with no second guesses. I wanted to try and land that slot before anything else and chose to figure out the rest when the spot was secured. I thought I’d leave it up to chance to decide whether or not I could make it happen.
Last month I was lucky enough to be allotted a slot and a ticket. Cosmic Sonic Arts has already helped out by paying for my ticket to the event but I still have a long way to go in being able to manage all the expenses required. Hopefully I can make the trip to Berlin for Ableton Loop while landing some shows there in the process.
Finances have been a struggle and it would be nice to receive help from people who are willing to lend a hand, and in change I can share a part of myself with sincerity.
What I’m asking for and what you’ll get from me:
I need to raise 4,000 USD to cover travel expenses, accommodations, transport, and food for the duration of my stay. This includes overhead costs of putting together these gifts and tokens of appreciation for my homies, my family, and my supporters.
With all my travels, I always keep in mind to bring everything and give back to the homeland in the form of shared knowledge and energy. All my learnings and my own personal experiences that contribute to my self-mastery, both as an ever-evolving individual and a creator, I always channel greatly into my work and my role as a mentor. All my students, past and present, can attest to the great detail and effort I pour out into each session.
Attending Ableton Loop will allow me to bring all the updated modern technologies and breakthroughs in the field of music back to you guys, and to everyone that passes through my mentorship. Aside from that I want to connect our country outwards and hopefully being in Berlin can open more doors for cross continental collaborations and exchanges.
As a token of appreciation I have put together a number of special packages for those who choose to share their love and energy with me through this campaign, the ff are:
A special limited USB release of my recent interactive album & virtual world “Rara Avis” (2016) + Rarities and Developer Notes + Gallery Guide
A special limited USB of my whole DISCOGRAPHY + NEVER RELEASED TRACKS AND EP’S
A special limited Cassette Release of the recent Raw Philippine Love Song Beat Tape (2016) - *copied straight from the original Cassette that I recorded on.
A special limited Cassete Release of all my favorite beats made on my SP404 (2011-2016)
Limited run similarobjects logo T-Shirt
Limited edition similarobjects producer pack (drum kits / sound packs / samples / synth patches / ableton instrument and audio racks)
similarobjects Cosmic Sonic Arts Ableton Live Video Course (Ableton Sadhana)
special digital downloads to rare & unreleased EP’s
All gifts come with a special note of gratitude and a specialized sound byte created by me.
Impact:
I live for creating and inspiring people through my own work. I really believe in the power of sound as a universal connector of all living things and it’s power to change reality. By supporting this humble project you will be giving me the opportunity to keep us up to date with all the latest developments in the world of sound and other surrounding ideas. You will be allowing me to spread my personal vision and at the same time allow me to share the connections I make with the homeland.
I am a giver at the core of all this and I wholeheartedly would love to share with you all my findings throughout these travels, and the travels that come before and after.
Other ways you can help:
Financial blessings aren’t the only way you guys can help make this a reality. I know we all have our own personal struggles to deal with so if you can’t quite make a donation but would still want to help, I would appreciate even just sharing this campaign on your own personal pages or blogs and social media (FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc). Tell your friends about it if you think they’d be interested in helping out. You can also share my music if you just feel like spreading it to help. Always appreciate the love I put out coming back to me in any form.
