Project Description

 



Welcome to our crowdfunding page. We are so happy to have you. Most of Austin probably haven’t heard about Four Letter Names Productions or our projects… yet. I hope this fundraiser changes that.There is a good chance you have worked with one of us or we have worked with you in the past but professional boundaries of our positions of employment prevented open dialogue or communication outside of the workplace. Some of you are supportive in spirit and might even have one of the bracelets we’ve been scattering all year.

If we get to the first $500 we qualify for a matching #smallbusinessrelief grant from go fund me :)

So What Are We Doing About It?

 

In addition to our products we are raising money In order to raise money we are designing and launching an interactive and real time social awareness, community engagement, and arts preservation project called “Kinda Unprofessional”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Kinda Unprofessional….Kinda Better That Way”

 

“Kinda Unprofessional” is a temporary digital community engagement project on a mission to initiate social change by removing public access barriers to accurate information related to mental health/healthcare and human services policy, services delivery that directly increase the likeliness of public risk of harm.

 

It aims to offer free, accurate, and engaging information that current policies and practices prevent industry professionals from honest disclosure or effectively activating positive social change during a time of unprecedented social crisis and public danger.

 

Generating honest conversations between helping industry professionals and the general public supports a holistic and collaborative community engagement strategy that will enhance the effectiveness of solution seeking related to contemporary social problems.

The Rock Star, the Renegade, and the Artist: About the Creators

 

In a new kind of community engagement project, Kinda Unprofessional part gonzo journalism, part industry expose, part confession, and an all true story that chronicles the adventures of an angry mother, fading rockstar, and an odd visual artist after after a chance meeting, a full moon, and a murder set an impressive tone for the future of two local creators that you probably didn’t know that you already know.

 

About Kodi Dalrock… is a former college football player for The University of Alabama . He went on to become a professional cage fighter. In January of 2011, a serious traumatic brain injury known as, “Second Impact Syndrome” ended his fighting career. While most cases of second impact syndrome are quickly fatal he was able to recover a significant amount of functioning that he attributes to an immersion in music as medicine.

 

Not one to stay down or out, the home grown Juke Box Hero jumped on a bus and toured the country as a roadie and later performance guitarist for multiple acts before returning home to Austin in 2019. In Austin he could easily be found anywhere and everywhere cool. Entering through the back doors across the live city he could be found working as live event security everywhere from the VIP room to the main stage barricade.

 

From SXSW and film festivals, to UT Events, COTA Concerts, Eyeore’s, to Burning Man, Bonnaroo, he was everywhere. He was also home without a band, and ready to hit the studio to begin recording a solo project that would become a touring performance.

 

In March 2020 the Covid-19 Pandemic canceled all major industry live arts and events across the globe. Without a gig or a bus to look forward to, Kodi embarked on a new journey as he explores and navigates the industry changes, occupational sustainability in a digital future, home recording, and cinematic scoring.

 

He is the creator of the developing community action project, “Acclimate ATX” and recently released his own branded line of merchandise, “Audio Pervert,” by Kodi Dalrock in support of his mission to save Austin’s live music scene from extinction before the “local musician” is the next Austin cultural icon lost to gentrification.

 

About Amie Pyre…finds herself embarking on a new path as creative industry producer, musician, influencer, and potential philanthropist. She might appear to be a reluctant and dissociative anti-social scientist on a spiritual quest she didn’t sign up for but she is all that and more.

 

A former mental health clinician, expert witness, case manager, author, and mother of five, she really “doesn’t have time for this shit!”

 

Citing that “There are no “duty to warn” laws here in Texas. When a practitioner believes to know that someone is at risk of harm they legally can’t tell the person in danger.” It breaks professional ethics and privacy law. The general public is at imminent risk of harm every day. It’s likely that no one else is going to tell anyone that. It has only gotten worse and will only continue at this rate.”

 

Amie believes that the public needs to know the truth about why their system is failing or they will never be able to make accurate and effective decisions related to their policies and communities. She believes that she knows some things that might reduce the odds of public crisis and shed light on issues including limited liability policies over best practices modalities, systemic prejudice,and institutional corruption. She is on a mission to assist the community in their time of need while she builds a new network and sustainable business for her company Four Letter Names Productions.

More About FLNP

 

Four Letter Names Productions is a publishing and recording company located in Austin, TX. We believe in bringing equal access to educational materials, entertainment, music, arts, and information to all customers. We believe literature, music, and arts have the power to enhance quality of life and spiritual wellness. Our goal is to produce quality products that are unique and engaging to all ages and walks of life. We support our artist’s rights to ownership and creative control of their original works. 

 

Our Branded Motto : 

We Do What We Want

Own Your Vibes because 

 


 
 

Problems FLNP aims to help solve are listed below.

 

Problem 1:

Authors and artists often have limited creative control when collaborating with a distributor. 

 

We encourage creative artistry and individuality. Project creative control empowers the creator as well as nourishes their growth towards a sustainable future and greater quality of life. 


We work directly with our artists to create plans for production and distribution that meet their goals for their works as well as our goals as a business.



 

Problem 2:

 Managing licensing copyrights for distribution and sales in different mediums easily becomes complicated and overwhelming for creators.

 

Literature, print, digital, and recorded content require different types of rights reservations and permissions for duplication than musical arrangements and recordings do. 

 

While recording studios offer musicians a place to create and have their final projects arranged or mastered for distribution; they do not maintain or manage these recordings for redistribution, retail sales, radio airplay, broadcast, or live reproduction.

 

This can be complicated and costly for creators.

 

FLNP solves this problem by providing a solution that preserves the original intent and integrity of the creator’s work as well as encouraging creative freedom. 

 

FLNP manages rights and licensing, product marketing, and sales distribution for our creators while our artists maintain the rights to their work transferability and ultimate ownership of their works.

 

Problem 3:

Affordable and reliable information and/or educational materials related to mental and behavioral health, social justice and welfare, and public policy are becoming more and more difficult for individuals to access.

 

Social welfare, healthcare, and education policy changes continue to limit equal opportunity and access to creative learning and arts education.  Funding is often diverted from creative arts and music programming in schools and communities  in order to fund standardized testing preparation, additional training for professionals, or meet crisis needs.

 

Our solution is to create content designed to aid those with or without access to self care and self improvement information or service in their community.

 

We promote arts appreciation and music education for all ages. Arts access is critical for brain, body, and spiritual development. 

 

Creative artistry creates a love of communication, humanity, and supportive social community while it cultivates the establishment of appropriate social, communication,and coping strategies for life’s transitions and adjustments. 


 

Our Customers

 

Our customers are of all ages and interests. 

 

We have several multimedia products and projects available or  in progress that appeal to a variety of ages and demographics.  We welcome all customers. 

 

We are not accepting inquiries for new talent or project submissions at this time. We will begin accepting submissions after we reach our start up goals for fundraising.

 

Recording services will be available when a public location is acquired. 

 

Online and digital communities are being created to offer customer engagement and support while social distancing measures continue to change nationwide. 

After an extensive career in psychiatric healthcare and law as well as family welfare social services I believe that current social policy implementation, regulatory practices, and accountability ethics are dangerously negligent and create public safety risk.

 

I have seen how changes in access to information related to self- improvement of mental health and creative expression have become huge barriers to achieving a desired quality of life for many individuals and families. 

 

I  believe the best way to help our customers is to promote useful and entertaining content that is relative to what our customers need and want while they navigate the collective changes of our society. 

 

 Due to my domain expertise and my customer experiences, I am uniquely qualified to help create content and products for demographics that may go otherwise unserved and solve this problem for consumers.




 

I am working to raise an initial $50,000 to generate start-up revenue and fund for purchase of certain equipment needed for better merchandising and marketability, retention of professional services related to graphics, contracts, and technical security, and to improve my credit rating for future approval of further small business financing and property acquisition for a publicly accessible space.

We do not have rewards available to offer at this time. Updates will be announced as details become available. 

 

Updates can also be found on our host website www.thepettycow.com
