“The joy of creating something out of nothing and giving that to people far outweighs any desire to make money. We operate on a torn and tattered shoestring at the best of times, but that just goes to show the level of commitment between us all. We love what we do and want you to have the opportunity to experience it. What would be the point in doing it otherwise?”

“Fame is the downside to success. Don’t be taken in by a dead industry that doesn’t care about your music, but instead wants you to be famous.”

“We’ve been watching the ping pong, back and forth, for nearly a decade now. ‘Filesharing hurts!’, ‘Filesharing helps!’, ‘It hurts a little!’, ‘It hurts a lot!’, ‘It both hurts and helps a little?’ Good studies are appropriated by opposing sides, reduced to slogans and then rendered meaningless. Even if the entertainment business could wave a magic wand and end unauthorised use of its content, it would face many of the same crisis questions. How much of the legacy business was dependent on market inefficiencies that won’t come back (paying $18 for a CD when the customer wants only one song)? How much is free, legal listening (Spotify) cutting into purchases (iTunes, CDs)? […] Piracy was/is only one expression of a much more fundamental problem: the customer can choose to pay or choose not to pay. You could call it An Inconvenient Music Truth.”

“Mubla 2.0 is what it says on the tin – music made in front of you. It’s a complete journey of music creation. You’ll see us start with next to nothing and hopefully finish with a complete album – professionally mixed and mastered. Along the way we’ll be documenting everything it’s physically possible to document and making it available to you exclusively on robandkal.com. Mubla 2.0 is music made in front of you and it’s a journey we hope you’ll join us on.”

“If you wish to be reliably rewarded for your music, then get employed to make music as your job. If you want to make the music that moves you, that will hopefully create meaning for people, and that will perhaps earn you a sustainable living, then you have chosen risk, and you will have to be as smart with the entrepreneurship as you are with the music if you want to survive and thrive. The odds are stacked against you. History is littered with musicians who are disillusioned, embittered and broke. This was true before the internet just as it’s true now. The internet is neither your saviour, nor your enemy.”
