Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
Applause.
The dream of every musician is applause. Applause that is a result of their performance onstage.
The life of a musician is a hard battle won, we imagine playing that ultimate role…a role that makes us immortal. All we want is to be remembered and find just a bit of comfort in the short time that we have on this earth.
The musical arts seems like a dwindling dream for some. More and more of us give way to another career. The days of making a living as a musician seem like a distant memory.
More and more local venues are closing or the competition becomes stiffer. What we create isn’t enough. We need help.
Where can we find work as a musician? Perhaps we are destined to remain as dishwashers, lawyers, clerks or administrators.
5Artz wants to change what has become a difficult world for the performing arts.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, a creative soul could eke out a living as a musician. Culture was found in music.
With the advent of the web, times changed. People could download music for nothing. We were expected to perform at no cost, or others would record the performance.
Today, with live streaming and all video on demand, rarely does a musician get paid. We just blend into the scenery. Until now.
5Artz means to change the face of the web and return the success of culture and prosperity for our musicians. Join us now and see what a difference you can make.
