Posted project update #20LOVE . HUMANITY . METAMORPHOSIS ♥ ☆ ∞ IS RELEASED!
Post CommentCongratulations, Kickstarters, your mission is a success—the album is released!
What did you want to be when you grew up? An angel? A record label?
Now, you are both!
I am so very proud and grateful that we did this together. What a gift is this accomplishment, achieved with your love, generosity, and active participation in the creation of new music!
And now, your pledge reward package delivery status update (brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department … Bureau!):
- Everyone who pledged to receive the full album and/or 3-song download should have received an email with your link to the high-quality MP3s (please contact me if you're sure it has not arrived after double-checking your email program's bulk/trash filters).
- Environmentally-friendly CDs, Thank You notes, and hand-drawn postcards shipped over the past two weeks and should arrive at your door ASAP.
- The limited edition vinyl LP is being lovingly crafted through our new best friends at Bellwether Manufacturing and should arrive in time for the holidays.
- Those of you who ordered prints of the album art painting by the fabulous Laurie Maves will receive them along with your vinyl LP.
If you're in Colorado next week, please join us on Saturday, October 1st from 7:00–9:00 PM at Anthology Fine Art (635 Santa Fe Drive, Denver) for our Album Launch Party, where Laurie will paint live as we enjoy treats and listen to the entire album in hi-fi sound! Bring friends and family, all ages welcome.
We'll cook up more listening parties and events throughout the next year as James and I make our way around the U.S. and abroad. Hope to see you soon!
To quote my favorite late '80s cheesy time travel flick Millennium, stealing from Winston Churchill:
"This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. This is the end … of the beginning."
Much love and endless gratitude to you,
Melissa

Posted project update #19One week 'til album release! :)
Post CommentHello, dear supporters of LOVE . HUMANITY . METAMORPHOSIS!
It's been a busy couple of months getting ready for the album release—just 7 days to go! Your rewards have been lovingly prepared for mailing, though the cat was not much help with writing the many-colored thank you notes (see photo) … she mostly just rolled around on the floor like the cuddly ball of fur that she is.
Look for something from me in your mailbox soon! If you can't wait, check out our audio trailer for the album featuring bits of the songs (below). And, stay tuned for more news about the making of our limited edition vinyl LP and art prints …
Meanwhile, if you're in Colorado, please join us for the Album Launch Party:
7–9 pm Saturday, October 1 @ Anthology Fine Art in Denver (635 Santa Fe Drive)
Visit the event on facebook for more details and to RSVP!
Thank you again for your support and encouragement. It is a joy to bring this dream to life together with you all!
Melissa

My goal—as an artist, as a songwriter, as a singer, as a person—is resonance. Touch and be touched. Move and be moved. Music, at its very core, is a conversation. My songs—centered on themes of love, humanity, and metamorphosis—seek the chance to open a dialogue.
