Short Summary
This project began, as a way to express my interest and passion for the outdoors, and give my personal experiences in the outdoors a voice. There are powerful moments in nature, and these moments make a lasting impression on me; such as being in a deep forest as the sun rises; watching an eagle soar from tree to tree over a mirror-like lake in the morning mist - these are powerful moments. I find it a natural thing to convey these memories and feelings by writing music about it.
My music tells a story. I like to try and take the listener on a journey of these moments, so they too will understand the beauty and power of nature.
....More than that, my hope is, when people hear my music, they will feel comforted and hopeful about their own lives and circumstances.
What I Need & What You Get
Aside from the satisfaction of helping support the arts you love and enjoy, there are some specific gifts that you'll receive for your pledge. Pledges begin at $15. The rewards for different pledges are explained. Every bit helps, so please give what you can.
The Impact
In the era of online streaming, any and all music is available at our fingertips. While this is a positive feature, it can be easy for new artists to be overlooked. I have a backlog of music meant to be shared, but without the right support and visual content, it can easily go unnoticed.
Your contributions will help to ensure that we have what it takes to get this album off the ground. As you can imagine, there are a lot of costs to cover, including: the sound engineer, Mixing & mastering, licensing fees, cost of CD design and printing, distribution, marketing, plus Indiegogo and Amazon fees (around 9-10% of the total). A minimum of $5,500 is necessary to cover these expenses. Any funds raised above this minimum goal shall be used for a PR campaign for the album.
Other Ways You Can Help
I understand that not everyone can contribute funds, but there are other ways you can help and they are SUPER important:
