Support Rhythm & Ink
Rhythm & Ink began with a simple belief: that the act of discovery, especially in music and literature, shouldn't belong to a server farm outside of Dallas built to flatten human uniqueness into algorithms. Those algorithms aren’t designed to understand you. They’re designed to fund a billionaire’s ranch in Jackson Hole.
Algorithms offer efficiency, but not understanding. They favor the obvious. They reward the familiar. They blur the joy of discovery. They miss the context that brings you and the art together.
We follow connections. Who listened. Who borrowed. Who changed the shape of something and passed it along to someone else.
It takes more time. It asks more of you. But it gives something back.
Maintaining this platform takes time, energy, and resources. If you believe in what we’re doing, you can help sustain it by becoming a supporting member.
