Hugo Race

<h4> Hello from Hugo and welcome to Hugo Race Access All Areas!</h4>I created this platform on Patreon in April 2020 when as we all know the world dipped into a temporary Dark Age! Real change when forced upon us can be hard to accept, so I began searching for a way to stay connected with my audience who are truly spread all around the globe. With frontiers closed, I decided I'd release my current work through Patreon until the situation re-opened. I was surprised and delighted to discover that Patreon became a way to communicate with true fans of what I do and through this exchange a new concept came to light - that Patreon could be my online archive of everything I've ever done, partly curated by the Patreons themselves! Together we are developing a kind of 'Best Of' Hugo Race in all my various incarnations from my pre-Bad Seeds days right up into the immediate future. There is no shortage of material!Here's what an internationalist underground moody music maverick like me can offer You!1 - downloads of and physical LP/CDs of ALL my ongoing releases 2 - monthly releases of new recordings and videos from my Helixed Studio 3 - monthly downloads of unreleased work from my archives covering every project I've ever done re-mixed and remastered4 - glimpses of me working and how I work, my friends and collaborators, what keeps me going, what stops my heart and starts it again5 - monthly State Of The Moody posts from me about what I'm doing and how I'm feelin' with in-deep photo stories including excerpts from my current book-in-progress Neofatalismo 6 - behind-the-scenes videos, recordings and insights into everything to and around meOver the last 3 years we have shared together original albums with parallel demo's and outtake releases including in-depth backstories and photo essays from my band True Spirit as well as Dirtmusic, Plays With Marionettes, The Wreckery, Sepiatone, Transfargo and Hugo Race Fatalists plus unique projects like Dishee, Twilight of the Empire, Between Hemispheres... and the album Existentialistz, recorded exclusively for Patreons! In my Helixed studio there is a constant overflow of music, film and writing that has never seen the light of day until now!My moody plan is that this Patreon portal will keep our international tribe connected. There will be existentia; absurdity galore and practical advice about my philosophy on life, art and the difficult relationship creatives have with the critical world of commerce. Which is how your $ support can make a massive difference to my ability to continue to create. And friends, we need art and music to survive like never before and also to pay the deathstar rent!!Thank you for your support and until we meet again,Hugo
