ABOUT INDEPENDENT ARTIST AID
Independent Artist Aid - Hope Never Dies is a compilation CD of 17 songs by unsigned artists 
from seven countries worldwide. Produced in association with online music distributor 
IndieNetunes in order to raise money for the Mercy Corps Asian Tsunami Appeal Campaign, this
 album is a gut-level rapid response by all participants, each of whom has given their 
services free of charge. It is also proof of how a bunch of disparate individuals who met on
 the internet can pool their resources and work together as a team to make something good 
happen.

IndieNetunes, host of the CD, describes the project as "a potpourri of recording artists who
 have come together via the internet to aid the Tsunami victims through music. Ranging from
 ambient to hard rock, the CD is filled with diverse tunes and some of the best indie talent
 on the globe."

All of the participating artists are members of GarageBand.com, "the web's largest musician
 community and home to the definitive charts of independent music". 

Most of the artists have never met in person; their friendships and associations have been 
forged on the bulletin boards at GarageBand and other music sites, including IndieNetunes 
own forum and Twist Of Fate, messageboard for the band led by IAA co-producer Buddy Lee.
  Independent Artist Aid is just one of many musical collaborations made possible by the
 wonders of the World Wide Web and the goodwill of some of the indie artists who frequent 
it.
