Dream Sessions Funded

Update #15 · May 30, 2012 · comment

It's been a week and I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.   

I'd like to thank Jane Lui for providing me a venue to webcast the telethons, Lynn Chen, Phil Yu, Chadd Stoops, Martin and Eloise Wong for helping me soldier through by cohosting/singing/laughing with me.  Last, but not least Patrick Epino and Tamyln Tomita for helping me countdown the final 120 minutes... what a ride.  Tamlyn even brought homemade "crack pie"... delicious.

Inexpressable thanks to MJ & Jason Hoffman, Gary Chou, and my folks for believing in me.  

Thank You, to each and everyone of you for believing in me too.  I'm fired up, this is a dream.

Filming starts in NYC on June 11th, and I'm trying to get schedules to align and budget each episode with the help of some filmmaker friends for the rest of the cities.  Let's see what happens.

Love, 

Goh

Jingles

Update #11 · May 12, 2012 · comment

So, the best thing about this project was the challenge of creating new works tailored to the backers.  I had a $100 reward tier that commissioned me and the band to create short jingles, some of which were dedications/declarations of love/friendship.  What an honor!

Here are 4 jingles, I'm waiting to hear back from the other 5 to see if it's cool to make 'em public...  Check 'em out! (remember that thing I said about "musical Halloween?", well here it is!)

Also, I just launched a new project, would you help me make this happen?

There's a lot of music to be made, and I want to document it.
