What is The Acid Exchange

The Acid Exchange is an online private guild of musicians.has everything for your heart, mind, body and soul to groove to, the work of a record label's worth of fine artists from around the world and from your own back yard.

The Acid Exchange is about unlimited musical diversity, groundbreaking artistic expression, uninhibited experimentation, and total commitment to freedom and creativity across all boundaries. The composers, players, singers and songwriters, bands and collaborators of The Acid Exchange have come together here to open your ears to music found nowhere else.

Our ongoing mission is to make that music your own. This is the home of New Directions in Music, crossing the spectrum of sounds from the ancient to the immediate and all points in between. You have crossed the threshold that carries you out of the sterile and mundane world of pre-programmed music and into a living, dynamic, musical culture.

The AE Compilation CD represents the first collective CD offering from 23 members of the guild, and features a diverse range of recent productions by our musicians and bands.

Digitally recorded as a project of newly-minted tracks composed specifically for this collection, The Acid Exchange International Music And Arts Guild 2 CD set is loaded with fresh sounds by fine artists who check their egos at the door and produce music to fill the ears of open minds. From gritty and intense to ethereal and cerebral, the tracks offer a full spectrum of the sounds of AE artists and span genres from Electronica, Ambiant, Rock, Metal, Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz.

Need to hear artistic integrity? Thirsty for music that connects to culture and soul? Seeking sounds and songs above and beyond the prepackaged bluster and fluff available everywhere but don't want to dig through a quagmire of online hype and hysteria? Welcome to the Acid Exchange.

Turn your ears on.
