Posted project update #16Upadates
Post CommentThank you again everyone for all your support. I was hoping to have a project blog up and running on my website by now, but I got overwhelmed with computer work while working on grant submissions for the project. For the time being I'm going to post updates on my public Facebook page. Since it's a public page, you don't need to be a member of Facebook to view the page. I'm uploading some photos right now. Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting photos, videos, and sound clips.I'm currently in Ohio shopping for materials and parts for "Machines." I spent my entire afternoon at an industrial warehouse which sells old equipment primarily from the auto plants. I found some really neat stuff and am excited to get it back to my studio to begin transforming it into musical machines.Like my Facebook page to make sure your up to date on the project progress. I will post more there soon.http://www.facebook.com/krisperryartist-Kris

Posted project update #15We Did It!!!
First, I would like to thank everyone who pledged their support and helped me to reach the fundraising goal. Awesome! It feels great to know that there are now hundreds of people who are personally invested in this amazing project. Thank you Steve for shooting the video. Thank you Tommy for your enthusiasm and involvement. Thank you to all the musicians who have been taking time out of their busy schedules to make this project happen; Tommy, Elvis, Steve, Gideon, Rob, Brian, Antoine, John, and all the others who come to the Tuesday night Jams. Thank you Sara for helping me develop the dialogue and getting the administrative stuff in order. Thank you Kaya for boosting my spirits when there was so much to raise in the last week. Thank you to those who put an incredible about of time and effort into getting the project out there; Benny, Sara, Kaya, Chase, Gaddy, Tony, Melissa, Sissy, Cara, Gideon, Rosie, My Mom, My Stepfather, and so many others. Thank you everyone for your support.
The Kickstarter campaign took a lot of time and effort and I need a few days to decompress and get my life back in order. Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be launching a blog to keep everyone up to date on what's going on with the project. In a few weeks, when the funds come through, I'll be traveling west to purchase old factory equipment which will be the basis for some of the new "Machines." I will keep everyone up to date with photos and videos. I'm really looking forward to developing the project. Stay tuned and I'll see many of you at the Basilica Hudson performance in August.
