full-length videobook for “Your Music and People”

Today I’m releasing something I’ve been working on since 2019.

It’s a full-length animation for my book “YOUR MUSIC AND PEOPLE”. 2½ hours long, it contains the entire audiobook, animated throughout.

Hand-drawn by the great Patrick Smith over the last two years.

Translated (by native speakers) into Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The video has all the subtitles.

It’s available for instant streaming on my site, or an MP4 download (3GB) to keep forever and play on any device.

All you have to do is buy “YOUR MUSIC AND PEOPLE” through me at sivers.com. Because any book bought directly from me, for $15, includes all formats: ebook, audiobook, and now videobook.

    I'm getting it for sure, also getting one for my brother. Question, please? How did you go about getting it translated into all those languages and how did you go about proofing all those translations? Thanks for continuing...................
    Thanks! Some day soon I'll write much more about the translations. — Derek

    If we can't get the Streaming Companies to pay a fair amount. The Music Industry is finished ! Spotify, Pandora, You Tube and Sound Exchange are ripping all Artists off ! http://musicianroyaltyripoff.org/ They only pay Six Cents per 100 Streams. And No One will buy your music when they can listen to it for Free !

    Brilliant! I usually don't like Audio books...and this is the first I have seen with Illustrations...and that made it way more "readable." LOL
    I already splurged on your Linen Covered Book: “Anything You Want” so I shall enjoy this on YouTube for the next few months.

    Great Job to the Illustrator and Narrator too.

    Smiles, Kevin

  31. Gabor (2022-09-23)

    I'm a filmmaker but by previewing these two short videos it became very clear that there is great value held within for any creative with an audience. And delivered through an animated video series? That's my cup of book! Thanks Derek!!!

    Fantastic! The only gift we have is ourselves!
