Reason and Romance
This rock album is an attempt to create something magnificent and beautiful. I've been pouring my heart into these songs for a few years, writing and recording the demos, and now working with a great producer, Jackson Jackson from Trixie Studios (https://www.facebook.com/Trixie-Studios-3653231.... The album concept is based on the idea that reason is romantic, and romance is rational. Reason is what makes life possible, while romance is what makes it worthwhile. What could be more rational than to commit yourself fully to a romantic sense of life? What could be more romantic than to commit yourself fully to reason? Human beings are uniquely conceptual, purpose-driven creatures, with the ability to think abstractly and long-range, and I want to celebrate human life with this album. That means there's nothing cynical, sarcastic, or depressing. This album completely rejects any sense of nihilism. Everything here is intended to be exciting, meaningful and - I hope - inspirational.
I think this album is stylistically and thematically unique. I think it is the best and grandest art I am capable of producing, and I'm very proud of it. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you'll help me make the best high-concept rock album possible. By contributing, you'll be pre-ordering either a signed physical CD, or a digital download. You can also donate whatever amount you like, if that's your preference.
The more money I raise on here, the better the final product will be. I am producing everything with my own money, and this album will come out this year, to the best of my ability to afford it, whether I get a single order or not. But if enough people chip in and buy a copy, the packaging will be better, or I might be able to hire additional players to come in on some tracks. Everything I get from this campaign will go back into the final product, with the goal of making the best possible album.
Please listen and judge for yourself whether or not the album deserves your help. Thank you.
