I've launched a Patreon

Hey there,

My name is ZW Buckley and welcome back to Keep Living With Music. I'm excited to share with you that I've launched a Patreon. I'm immensely excited by this inclusion to my slate of offerings and I want to tell you today about what that could mean for you, should you be interested in supporting my work via that channel.

My Patreon is launching with two tiers, audience and artist. The audience tier is for you if you enjoy and want to support my music making and YouTubing. The audience tier includes the following benefits:

• Instant access to my released music and all upcoming releases. I also want to share demos, alternative versions, and music that may not ever get an official release here as well.

• An exclusive Ableton Live preset pack, OPACITY, which is a collection of dark and emotive instruments and racks for Drift.

• Bonus and extended YouTube videos, with the first one dropping this Friday. I also want to go back and record some extended walkthroughs of Live sets from previous videos, like the one in my Generative Ambient Botanica video.

• Access to my private discord community. I've wanted to start a discord for a while now and this seems like a natural fit. This will be a curated community available exclusively to my patrons and students. It's my hopes that together we'll make one of the most supportive and inspiring spaces within music production.

The artist tier is for you if you want greater access to my Ableton Live instruments, presets, and educational offerings. The artist tier includes the following benefits:

• Instant access to my TOTAL bundle, which will now be an exclusive benefit for my artist patrons. This is a more sustainable model for this bundle that will allow me to commit to giving you new Ableton Live presets monthly.

• An exclusive collection called Artist Reserve, which includes my most used and personal favorite instruments and presets. Volume 1 is already available.

• Exclusive one-offs, like my Drum Kit Generator.

• Discounts on all of my current and upcoming courses.

• Exclusive Discord channels, including one where you can directly suggest YouTube video topics to me.

My YouTube channel has grown immensely since I committed to a weekly upload cadence in November of 2024. In just last calendar year alone, I went from 600 subscribers and being a total blip in the music production community to 16,000 subscribers and being commissioned by Ableton directly. This channel has barely left the floor in terms of growth potential.

This Patreon is an invitation for you to have greater access to my offerings and to take an active part in helping me continue to grow my work in a more sustainable fashion. I need your help and I hope that you'll consider supporting.

Til next time,

ZW
