About this project
To create something truly beautiful you need genuine intention; the vision and the will to see it through to completion. To share your creation magnifies its beauty. When a community rallies around your creation and shares it you give birth to something with a life that breathes beyond your own.
Countless hours of work from dozens of talented musicians and engineers, as well as undying support from my friends and family, has brought to life an album inspired by the very people who helped create it. Sita, to be released on 10/10/10, is a compilation of the most moving experiences I have had the pleasure of feeling. It captures the calm and nurturing core of fatherhood amidst the turbulent social, environmental, and political landscape we play our part in.
Sita is finished and waiting in the wings. We’ve put everything we have into the production of this album. Now it is time to put the same energy into its release.
You are essential to the success of this album. You are my strength in numbers. I need your help to unlock the potential of this creation. Listen to songs off the new album at www.chrisdormanmusic.com.
I am setting my goal to raise $3,000 in 35 days to kick off this grassroots promotional campaign. I will use the funds raised to hire an world renowned online promotional company to help me deliver Sita to the ears of industry professionals, music reviewers, radio DJ’s, and most importantly people who will find a genuine connection with the music and be inspired to deliver it to their neighbor, and to their neighbor’s neighbor. With diligent work Sita will be shared with people all over the world. And as the scope of the album’s influence widens you will be kept in the loop with updates of our progress.
Please help me build this from the beauty up. Engage in Community Supported Music.

BONUS INCENTIVE
If you pledge over $10, and send me a detailed story (meaning at least a lengthy paragraph) of someone in your life and how they have inspired you to be the beautiful person you are today then I will send your chosen someone a link for a free digital download of Sita along with a special note to their e-mailbox on your behalf letting them know how life-changing they are.
Plus, with your permission, your story of inspiration will be posted on my website and it could become the subject of a song on my next project, The Inspired EP.
After you pledge email your stories to chris@chrisdormanmusic.com.
PERSONAL NOTE TO THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THIS POSSIBLE
The music business as you may know is an amazingly large creature. To make your way up the mountain involves years and years of perseverance. Many of you visiting this page know me and know me well. If that is the case you know that I have been working towards “the next step” for over a decade. From the moment I wrote my first song I have believed that I can make this world a better place with music. So, I just want to throw out there that I have no plans of slowing down. In fact, I am just hitting my stride.
Thank you,
Chris
