#BandcampFriday
Ten years since her last solo album, trail-blazing flutist releases her fourth. combines virtuosic flute performances and modern record production techniques in a delightful sonic package. Anchored by the evergreen “Vermont Counterpoint” by Steve Reich and augmented by newly commissioned works from The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker, Brent Miller, Janice Misurell-Mitchell, and Meghann Wilhoite, The Audacity is Meerenai’s most cohesive project to date. When she designed the album cover, Meerenai happened to hand-write her name and it turns out that The Audacity is truly her signature recording project. Released by .
San Francisco Bay Area's non-profit record label dedicated to adding exciting, modern, and even revolutionary perspectives to the contemporary classical, experimental, and electronic music landscape. aerocademusic.com | Mailing list: https://eepurl.com/i1C
Thank you for buying our albums and listening to our releases. Music and art is just as important today as it ever was. It’s an essential part of humanity. Even if capitalism doesn’t value music, we can’t live without it. If you’ve read this far into my letter, you probably think music is important too. There are many ways you can help get new music out into the world:
Keep making music yourself.
If you hear something you like, share those music links with your network.
Buy recorded music on your favorite format or buy merch from artists.
Go to concerts and take a friend.
Donate to Aerocade Music, Inc. and other organizations working on getting more music out to the public.
Even if no one listened, I’ll still be making music, but it’s nice to know you are out there listening once in a while. Thank you for your continued support for Aerocade Music. I’m so excited for the future!
Sincerely,
Meerenai
Meerenai Shim, Board President
Aerocade Music, Inc.

Going forward, Aerocade will still be a tiny label since we don’t have any employees. It will still be my labor of love and my main volunteer activity. (I hope Aerocade can hire an Executive Director one day to take over most of the day-to-day tasks. You can help make that happen by donating!) In 2025 we will celebrate Aerocade Music’s 10th anniversary and the 1st birthday of Aerocade Music, Inc. by releasing four albums by new and current Aerocade Artists! We will also have a party in San Francisco sometime in March 2025 so please keep an eye out for that event.

Since 2015, I have learned a few things and figured out a system to keep this small label going, but you can only go so far by doing things alone. In order to keep Aerocade going for the long haul, I asked some close colleagues for advice on starting a non-profit so that this label can support musicians well into the future. With guidance from Brent Miller (board treasurer), Lanier Sammons (board secretary), Elizabeth Robinson (board member), and For Purpose Law Group, Aerocade Music, Inc. was formed.
I’m actively working on tying up loose ends and closing up the LLC by the end of this year. The few assets belonging to the LLC are being donated or will be donated to the new Aerocade Music Inc.

Hi everyone! We are officially a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Here's a letter from our founder, @meerenai
Dear Aerocade Music supporters,
I’m proud to announce that Aerocade Music, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was formed this summer to continue the mission of helping independent musicians distribute their music. This mission started in 2015, when Aerocade Music, LLC was established. Initially, it was supposed to be a vanity label to release my own projects. As soon as I announced the label I was approached by producer/engineer Lanier Sammons who was seeking a label for the Post-Haste Reed Duo album he was producing. I signed up to distribute that Post-Haste Reed Duo album and Aerocade Music became a regular micro-label for other independent classical music-adjacent musicians.
