Hi! I’m Michael Donaldson, a music industry consultant, writer, and audio producer working from the edge of a lake in beautiful + balmy Central Florida.

I’m obsessed with how technology affects culture, especially in the ways we make and listen to music.

I’m the founder of 8DSync (music publishing + licensing), 8D Industries (artsy fartsy record label), and 8DPromo (electronic music promotion). Sometimes I’m a Q-Burns Abstract Message (truth is stranger than fiction).

Mostly I’m just trying to keep these damn cats out of my office.

8sided.blog is my pet project, my pride and joy, my journal of personal interests, and my digital thinking cap. Thanks for visiting and reading.

Some other projects:
• A weekly email newsletter: Ringo Dreams of Lawn Care
• My label’s latest release: San Mateo – The Mira Variable
• I give interviews and appear on podcasts
• Here’s a postcard from Florida

Let’s talk.

One of the best perks of what I do is meeting new people. And it would be cool to meet you. If there’s any way I can be helpful — or if you’d just like to chat — please send me a note below.

What do you do? What are you excited about? How did you hear about me?
“I’m cool for now” is good, but if there’s something you need then please let me know.
