First of all, download your “electronic musicians guide to busking” here:
A-21st-Century-Electronic-Musicians-Guide-to-Busking.pdf
Or not. Perhaps this kind of thing (a guide to busking) isn’t for you. And I’m not entirely sure that I’m totally into it either. First, it’ll mean buskers don’t learn things for themselves. It also has the potential to make all busking sound of feel samey. And I just don’t like the idea.
But, then I read the guide to busking, and it’s just massively practical. It doesn’t tell you what to play, but rather what to think about when selecting your equipment, location, set up and so on. There’s a whole section on electricity (explaining volts, amps etc).
And even better, it’s written by this guy… and there’s no way he sounds like anything else you’ve ever heard:
Definitely worth a read! And if you like it, you can donate to Onyx Ashanti, the guide to busking’s author, via Bitcoin here:
