"A large part of the population still has a very distorted image of the working life of independent musicians. This image is so strong that we sometimes think of ourselves as homeless circus artists whose work has no measurable value and therefore any framework conditions are difficult to define.
Since this is an absolute myth, we work like everyone else and need structure and rules like everyone else, a contact point for independent music makers is really important. Not only for the rights and working conditions of the musicians themselves, but also as a clear statement for this wondrous and special profession."
