Welcome to 5:4!

Listening, researching, writing and maintaining 5:4 requires time, energy and money. A typical article takes anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day or more. I believe such a considered approach as this is vital for a meaningful, in-depth engagement with music.

5:4 is free to read. There’s no paywall, no charges for reading certain articles, and this is how I want it to remain. To do this, I need your help. If you think 5:4 is an interesting, entertaining, useful or valuable resource, then please consider becoming a patron, from just $2 per month. With even a small monthly donation, I’ll be able to devote a lot more time and ambition to the blog, and ultimately explore an even greater range of music in much more depth.

Thank you for your support – it’s greatly appreciated!
