frequently asked questions  
 

1.) Why Paypal and other points related to Payment.

We use Paypal as means of payment. Paypal has its downsides, but is still the most confortable means of paying online. An account costs nothing and is easy to set up, you can use various payment methods within it (credit card, wire transfer) and fees, well, we have to pay them :-). If you like to use another option (bank transfer or money/check sending), mail us.
Another note: you can use other currencies than euro, these will be converted automatically.

2.) How long will the download link be active ?

Normally 10 days. If you like to redownload northern winds products later, drop us a mail. And: please acknoledge that doing and producing music and sounds is hard work, so don´t "share". If you like to have on of our products, but lack the money, rather drop us a mail.

3.) I would like to use your music or distribute it otherwise.

This is, of course, possible. Drop us a mail. In cases of non- to low commercial uses, most likely whe don´t want so see more than our name somewhere.
If you own a label and intend to bring northern winds music to the shops,
same procedure :-). The same is true of sounds; if you want to redistribute them somewhere, drop us a mail.

4.) I am an synth designer / arranger and would like to do northern winds staff sounds for me.

This might be posssible. Doing sounds cost some time, but just ask :-).

5.) Why the name "northern winds"?

In north- and mesoamerican shamanic traditions, north is the ultimate direction, the realm of life´s ultimate condition, death. Winds from the north are associated with strenght, durability, power.
Living in the mood of the northern winds is here something like an ideal of human acting: before the ultimate border of life, one stays true to his dreams, and embraces clarity, strength, passion, and abandon. Since true art, as a saying goes, can also be created with the awareness of the finite nature of men, "northern winds" was chosen as label name.
