The album has been recorded, mixed, mastered and finally pressed into a real cd. The cover photo has been taken and the whole artwork design is finished and ready to be exposed to all of you. Furthermore I asked two young filmmakers to make a so-called album teaser video for the promotion of the cd. You can see it on this site. The whole cd, artwork and video turned out very beautifully!
This is where you come in...
As you might know all of these things involve expenses. And not only a few, especially when you want the whole production to be of high quality.
I will only be able to move into the next phase, which is promoting the album internationally and playing live concerts, if I can fully cover all the expenses I have made so far.
So, I need your support in order to realize this big dream of mine!
What I need:
The total needed amount is € 5.000 This is less than the half that I have spent already. These are the things that still need to be fully covered:
- the excellent sound engineer Chris Weeda was hired to make the album sound so good: € 1.500
When the goal is achieved...
The album will be released worldwide at 28th of February on Jazzhaus Records, a very nice label in Freiburg/ Germany. In march and april we will be touring through
the Netherlands and Germany. And if we achieve the goal we will be able to organize more concerts in more countries, like France, Spain, Poland and Italy. For sure, we would like to return to China and South Korea and hopefully this time also to Japan to present the album. Our aim is for
sure to present it worldwide and we are positive and working hard for
it to make it happen!
Perks / Goodies for you!
Needless to say that I will be so thankful for your donation! To
show you my gratitude you can choose from a range of different
"perks", goodies. You will receive them in return for your
donation. It is also possible to donate without getting a perk, but
if you are curious, have a look and choose the one that suits you
best!
Considering that my music includes a lot of improvisational
elements, especially when we perform live on stage, I figured it
could be nice to give you the chance to participate during our
concert. One of the perks offers you the chance to choose a theme,
anything you like, that I will improvise freely on! Beside a personally signed cd, there are two perks where you get a free 3 course dinner before our concert and of course tickets to one of the cd
release concerts. The "biggest"
perk is a concert at your livingroom with the whole band!
How you can help without donating
I understand very well if you don´t have the financial
opportunity to donate to this project. Still, there are ways to help
me funding my album and I will be very thankful if you did:
