halfway funding and new video

Update #1 · Sep 19, 2011 · comment

Greetings all -- thanks for your support! The project marches along and has reached half of the funding goal with 14 days remaining. The master has just been returned, an always amazing job by Timothy Stollenwerk @ Stereophonic, and I've finished up the artwork for the back cover, which draws on image stills from videos from saharan cellphones. In keeping with this idea, I've put together a video on the kickstarter page inspired by the cellphone videos -- enjoy!
