From James
Music is a gift. It is also my livelihood.
I want you to have these songs. Everything on this site plays without a paywall and the EP downloads for whatever you choose, including nothing. If the pocket book is thin today, enjoy listening to the music and pay it forward to a friend or stranger.
The other half is this: records like Lost You and Separated take years, string players, studio days, and an audio mixing engineer's time. I do it for a living, on purpose, and I would rather ask you directly than let a platform take its cut and decide what you even get to see. So if a song did something for you, every act of support allows me to continue, once or monthly. That is the whole pitch.
James
Three ways
Take the EP home
24-bit WAV files of Lost You. Pay whatever you want, including nothing.
A little every month
Pays for the next record while it is being made. Change or stop it any time from your Stripe receipt.
Once, whenever
The tip jar. No account, no strings.
Where the money goes
Payments run through Stripe, which keeps a small card-processing fee and passes the rest to James the same week. There is no label, no distributor and no streaming tech giant in between. Your card details never touch this site. As this is support for a working musician, not a charity gift, it is not tax-deductible.
Prefer Bandcamp? It is still there, and Bandcamp Fridays are the best day to use it: jamesspaite.bandcamp.com.
Questions
Can I get the files if I paid nothing? Yes. Choose Free and the download page opens.
What format? 24-bit, 48 kHz WAV, the mix masters. An mp3 link sits next to each file if you want something smaller.
How long do download links last? Thirty days from payment. After that, you can email James with the address you paid with and he will send a fresh link.
I lost my download page. Email james@jamesspaite.com with the address you paid with.
