Evidence used

  • The available revenue fields separate gross catalog revenue ($140K-$520K/year) from estimated artist-side share ($65K-$280K/year).
  • Publishing and writer lanes are shown separately where available: publisher $15K-$55K/year; writer $20K-$70K/year.
  • 2 top songs anchor this estimate: Horizon of Apollo, Where All Is Fled.
  • Ownership fields include master context, publishing context, catalog-sale status.
  • Catalog metadata lists genre: Ambient / Electronic / Experimental; country: United States; active since: 2011.

Editorial context

  • Specialist ambient and electronic audiences keep tracks like Horizon of Apollo and Where All Is Fled active in long-tail streaming.
  • Deep-listening genres monetize through repeat use and catalog depth more than mainstream hit volume.
  • Creator-leaning electronic catalogs can retain meaningful artist-side value even at modest scale.

Methodology limits

  • The estimate is a modeled annual range, not a public royalty statement from the artist, estate, label, publisher, or distributor.
  • Gross catalog revenue, artist-side share, label share, publisher share, and writer share are separated only where structured split data exists.
  • Top-song links and platform references are public context signals; they are not audited payout disclosures.
  • Catalog sale context is included only where supporting information is available; absence of a sale adjustment does not prove no transaction exists.

Split-aware estimate

  • Gross catalog revenue is shown separately when enough context exists to distinguish top-line catalog value from artist-side take-home.
  • Ownership notes are available here and can materially change who actually keeps the revenue shown on the page.
  • All figures are conservative annual modeled ranges based on streaming scale, catalog age, licensing usefulness, and known ownership context, not audited royalty statements.
