THE STORY
RobinSukroso is a Berlin based musician, who has worked hard over the past 3 years to get his music career and guitar invention off the ground. It all looked pretty good for the year 2012, but unfortunately all his equipment and guitar invention was stolen after his last gig in Berlin.
WHAT WILL THE FUNDING BE USED FOR?
The funding will be used to get back all his needed equipment and to cover the cost for building his new "Acpad Guitar".
This includes:
- Laptop
- Guitar plus Midipick Up System
- Soundmodule (Footpedal)
- Microphones
- Cases for all equipment (for flights and transportations to gigs)
- Headphones
- Mixer
- Cables (XLR, LINE, Cinch, Adapters etc..)
- Audio Interface
- Amplifier
All of this equipment above was self funded, had a value of approximately §6000 and all current confirmed gigs had to be cancelled for over 2 months. The Live Performances meant his complete income! Therefore every little donation would help!
All donations above $6900 will be put straight into the production of the first album and preparations for making the "Acpad Guitar" accessable for other guitar players!!!

MUSIC AND GUITAR INVENTION OF ROBIN SUKROSO
RobinSukroso plays on his self built guitar invention, which he calls "the acpad guitar." It enables him to play techno, a whole electronic orchestra simultaneously or any virtual instruments recorded live, one after another. His guitar invention and music builds a new bridge between electronic and acoustic music!
It was a dream of his over the past 3 years and it took his total focus to create this new instrument. With your help he can get his dream back!
After a very short time of performing he can look back at many gigs, even where he played at some of the most well known venues in Berlin (Volksbühne Berlin, Katerholzig (former Bar 25), Ritter Butzke, Sisyphos etc.) He has also been invited to perform internationally. (Dubai, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Alkmaar etc.)
The music video for his composition „Brazil“, which you can find on www.robinsukroso.de shows what magic the guitar can create!
RobinSukroso has been playing & writing music since he was 12 years old. He later studied 3 years of jazz guitar when he was 18.
FUTURE PROJECTS
First album! (which you can get with Perk 2!!)
As soon as RobinSukroso gets back on his feet he will record his first album. He'll start the exciting adventure of working on new song material which he will play on his new Acpad Guitar!
After the recording process is complete, the music still needs to be mastered. Distribution on iTunes, Amazon, and other websites will be arranged in the end of 2012. And to spice it up, new music video ideas are already brewing!
Look forward to the ready to market version of the "Acpad Guitar"
RobinSukroso wants to share his invention & make it accessable for other guitar players as well. This year the first ready to market version of the acpad guitar will be realized in full form! The invention with its patency pending, will be produced either by using the awesome opportunity of crowd-funding (thanks guys!) or with interested companies in Germany.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
For now, the robbery created big problems, timewise and moneywise, which can be reduced by your help!
Every donation will be highly appreciated! With your help it would be possible to get back on track and RobinSukroso would be able to continue his dream as well as extend it to you!
Spreading the word, sharing this campaign on Twitter, Facebook, other platforms or e-mailing to friends would be one of the most helpful things :-)
