numoon is an event organised by artists to create a platform for new directions and talent *** our theme is: unity in diversity * we invite interesting new artists from nu-jazz, soul, funk, worldmusic, ambient, minimal, singer/songwriter, electro, multimedia, spoken word, poetry, alternative hip hop * international artists perform to get more attention for new talent * do you want to perform, mail us at: hanyo[at]xs4all.nl
we guess its the right time to redefine the concept of music, the idea of success and the relations between artists and the audience, the old industry is fallin apart, the world of major labels, producers and managers is changin fast, what will revive is the world of true artists that make music from the heart, the internet revolution, the economic and spiritual crisis, this will only benefit these changes, lets return to the roots of music and take it from there way into the future, simple things can and will make an amazing difference, success will come from respect, it is called love...
