About this project

Minneapolis Singer/Songwriter Chris Harrington has triplicated himself to become The One-Man-Mixed-Media-Rock-Band Virtual CH. Years in the making, Virtual CH seeks your support to help fund a music video for their debut single:  "Art is out of Phaze." Hear it here:  http://www.facebook.com/VirtualCH?sk=info.  The Rock-Trio will also use funds raised to help pay for their debut record to be mixed and mastered.  Because Virtual CH's live show is a mixed media rock experience, the band would like its debut to be both visual and sonic.  Alas, a music video is just the ticket! 


Virtual CH
has assembled a talented video production crew. The video script is being crafted with panther-like-speed and surgical accuracy... Just the right music mixer and mastering engineer has been selected to sonically sculpt songs recorded at the band's studio: www.clydescoalchute.com.  

How your generous contributions will be used:
A funding goal of $3,000 has been set to pay professionals for their talents. Your contributions will help pay for video location insurance, camera crew, light crew, light kit rental, and as mentioned, a music mixing/mastering engineer.  Now, the band realizes that this is a fairly conservative funding goal.  However, Kickstarter campaigns can always overfund, but they cannot underfund.  To those new to Kickstarter, this means that a funding goal must be reached for campaigns to be funded. It's all or nothing. You can donate via amazon.com with your credit card.  Kickstarter makes it simple. 

Kickstarter Exclusive Promotional Interview Video:
Virtual CH sat down for their first ever recorded interview just for Kickstarter.  In this interview, the band shares their history and their live show creative process. You'll also get to preview a few seconds of "Art is out of Phaze," watch a few live show clips and get to know all three members. 

Virtual CH has been rehearsing for years and they are extremely excited to be on the cusp of their world debut!  They have outlined some Kickstarter exclusive & unique thank you gifts to those who generously donate. THANK YOU!!!

FAQ

  • We've had this question a few times. The answer is yes, but we'd prefer to have something pre recorded so that a live show does not have a technical glitch with Skype. We'll research and see what we can do.

  • Right now we are only offering the poster as a $50 Backer Reward. It may be for sale in the future, as we are having extra posters silk screened.
