LOOM22 vs Bandcamp
Keep the recording. Enter the work.
Bandcamp connects fans with releases they can buy and keep. LOOM22 is building a different way to enter the work itself.

Bandcamp / LOOM22
What you buy
Bandcamp
Digital music, physical releases and merchandise sold by artists and labels, with streaming and downloads.
LOOM22
A living work you can go inside, as far as the artist has chosen to open it — with provenance tied to the original artist.
The listening experience
Bandcamp
Listen to released recordings and keep downloadable music in the formats offered.
LOOM22
Go inside the music, on the artist’s terms. Participation, not just playback.
What the music can become
Bandcamp
Artists can keep releasing new work and subscription updates. A downloaded recording remains that recording.
LOOM22
A track can keep growing after release. The work evolves at the author’s pace.
Access on departure
Bandcamp
You keep the files you downloaded.
LOOM22
Lasting access is part of the proposed model. Access terms, including departure and service availability, need to be settled before paid launch.
Artist control
Bandcamp
Artists set prices and offer music, merchandise and subscriptions. They choose what to release.
LOOM22
Artists decide what opens, to whom, and when, for every track. The artist authors the rules. The platform enforces them.
Ongoing artist income
Bandcamp
Direct sales and artist subscriptions can both support an ongoing relationship.
LOOM22
The proposed model combines support directed to chosen artists with an artist share of 70% of every sale at launch, rising to 78% as LOOM22 grows. Paid commerce is not live.
Bottom line
Bandcamp already offers direct support, subscriptions and a collection you can keep. LOOM22’s case is the listening format—not a claim that direct artist relationships began here.
