Posted project update #813 Days To Go!!!
Hello to all! If you didn’t gather from the title of today’s update, we are down to 13 days on our Kickstarter campaign! This weekend MASS MoCA had our Solid Sound Festival with Wilco as our headliner as well as several more acts including Vetiver, Avi Buffalo, and of course Mavis Staples just to name a few. Over the course of three days, we had a lot of festival goers intrigued about the Kid Koala event, and passed out some fliers detailing how to donate to the Kickstarter campaign, so we hope to hear back from those visitors who were excited about Space Cadet. It was great to hear enthusiasm about the project, and have people say they would come back to MASS MoCA this December to see the performance!
Today we bring you a photo of Kid Koala, and our deepest thanks to all of our backers.
Thank you!
-MASS MoCA

Posted project update #3Typewriters, Classical Piano, and Cantonese: Kid Koala's Interview with the Vancouver Observer
Post CommentHello all!
We are making steady progress toward our fundraising goal since going live a few days ago and we thank all of our backers for supporting our project! Today we have a space-tacular interview with Kid Koala for the Vancouver Observer, which reveals the Canadian DJ to be a surprisingly skilled, ambitious and insightful musician and graphic novelist.
Some interesting bits of his background:
-Born in Vancouver, he grew up in a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC, and moved to Montreal where he now lives.
-He has a degree in childhood education from McGill University in Montreal.
-He was trained as a classical pianist, and has played at The Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
-He says there is an “anthropological side” to being a DJ, and layers his musical compositions with eclectic samples including the voices of Cookie Monster and Charlie Brown, chamber music, doors creaking, typewriters clacking, and a man reading from a Cantonese menu.Read the full interview at the link below to learn more about his upbringing and unique approach to creating music:

We cannot thank you enough for your support. Stay tuned for more updates and some surprise rewards for all our backers!

Posted project update #2Upgrades: Editioned Prints and "Special Space Adventure Mix"
Post CommentGreetings!
This marks day two of our efforts with Kickstarter, and we have some exciting developments to our reward tiers. Kid Koala decided that he is going to provide a beautiful limited edition print of a page from the Space Cadet book for donors of $75 and up. AND if that is not enough he decided that one free download was not enough and is creating a “special space adventure mix” to reward you for your pledge. What can be more exciting than an upgrade? Thanks to Kid Koala!
Enjoy!
