Kickstarter

Hello Friends old and new, 

I hope you are all well and I thank you for checking out my Kickstarter Project.

In August I am planning to record my first full length album entitled "Be Love" in New York City. Over these last few years I have released two EPs, "Anything But Alone", "Tails of Bufflebear" and one Single, "Your Own Two Feet". Although I am still very proud of each of these releases, they were all done on a shoe-string budget and at best with only three days of studio time. This time around the winds of good fortune have brought me an opportunity to spend close to one month in the studio (but of course this does not come cheap). 

Over this passed year I have acquired the funds for my flight to New York and for studio time but in order to make this album the talk of the town...

I need your support!

As you all know, recording an album has many phases, and with your support I am trying to fund these crucial final steps in the process.

Your pledge will contribute to:

1. Mixing - The step that either makes or breaks an album. Adjusting levels of every instrument on each track to create a professional sound.

2. Mastering - A more elusive step in the recording process for most listeners. Basically after mixing, each track is "Cleaned Up". Unpleasant frequencies are removed the right ones are polished. 

3. Duplication - Manufacturing CDs and the ever so important cover art. If this project is funded we will also create copies on Vinyl. These are a part of your perks!

4. Production of Merchandise - As you can imagine, stickers, T-shirts, pins, you name it. With your pledge we will bring to life the art of Mr. Sage Einarsen which has fascinated me since we were kids. Forget those mediocre band T-Shirts, his designs are the kind you want to strut around in!

5. Promotion - And finally we come down to the business side of things... boohoo... in recent years it has become more and more evident that musicians have to also be competent business people. With your pledge we will be able to hire a publicist to promote this album through various forms of media and get it heard by as many people as possible. After all, music is for everyone.

The video at the top of this section is a taste of what to expect for the album. I will also be re-recording the single I released in March which you can see below.

I am aware that my goal for this project is ambitious. But I know that this funding will give my songs wings like they have never had before. I can't wait to share the journey of this album with all of you. Let's make it go places!
