About this project

I'm creating a new outlet to release some of my music. The first release will be about the borders of imagination, dreams, and real places that are far away. It will be pressed up in an edition of 200 white labels and available directly through me.

I will be hand painting the sleeves, packing each of the records with care and sending them off to you. Since each of the gifts will also be packaged and shipped by me personally, if you would like a special inscription or other personalization, just let me know and I will try to make it (more?) unique. If you are interested in donating to receive some specific combination of the rewards listed, just get in touch.

The money from this fund will go towards the mastering and physical production of the vinyl. Shipping of the gifts is covered by your donation.

Hopefully you can help me realize this effort! Any donation amount is welcome. Direct donations are also welcome via paypal to m50@m50.net
