For a fifteen dollar pledge, we are offering a copy of our Harold 2009 compilation LP, featuring music recorded at last year's residency and a beautiful design and cover photo by Harold resident and staff member Lucas Blair.

At the twenty-five dollar level, you get the Harold 2009 LP and the Harold 2008 CD, featuring music recorded at our 2008 residency.

Here at the $30 level you can have a copy of SSION's CD "Fool's Gold"...SSION features J. Ashley Miller, our 2010 session one producer, one of the first beneficiaries of our new recording studio. He'll be working on a release for our partner Captcha Records. In fact, we'll throw in a random release from the Captcha catalog as well. A nice deal.

Here's another $30 option... you get a copy of the new CD from 2010 session one engineer Brian Sulpizio's band "Health and Beauty." This is pretty much my favorite band in Chicago. And I know you haven't heard them yet. Brian will be intimately involved in the planning and construction of the recording studio. You also get the Harold 2008 CD AND the Harold 2007 CD.

OK, for $40, you get the Harold 2009 LP, the Harold 2008 CD, and a CD from frequent Harold resident and 2010 Producer Jason Ajemian. Jason Ajemian and the HighLife is on tour now, and formed at last year's residency. You'll get a copy of their new CD "Let me get that Digital." It's really good. We love Jason, and you will too.

We have T-shirts! They're very nice, with our logo in a variety of colors and designs and produced each year at the residency. At the $51 level you get one of these, along with a copy of the Harold 2009 LP.

Tim Kinsella Party Pack! Act quick, we only have one of these, and it's special. 2009 Harold producer Tim Kinsella may be best known for his pioneering band Joan of Arc, and at the $150 pledge level, you get a lot of Joan of Arc. 2 LPs, 3 CDs, 2 7-inches. Truly amazing stuff, and we'll throw in a Harold 2009 LP and a Harold t-shirt as well. First pledge at this level gets it and then it's gone...

We have some special gifts for those who are willing and able to help out with larger pledges. David More, a former Harold resident, has graciously offered to do a sound portrait for a contributor at the $300 level. David would enter your home, record different aspects of your acoustic space, take the recordings home, and offer the finished composition as either a tape, c.d., digital download, or one-off lathe-cut. This offer is for donors in the Chicagoland area. In addition, a grab bag of awesome stuff from all the other offers is yours as well at the $300 level.

At the $500 level we can offer you the opportunity to enjoy a D&D night with former and future Harold visiting artist Kelly Kaczyinski. D&D includes soup, wine, and drawing. The emphasis is of course on the drawing. It is responsive drawing where Kelly and you, the guest, draw together - collaborate - on the paper. It is a way of conversing, getting to know and challenging one another through drawing. Kelly normally keeps these drawings for her records but has graciously offered to allow the donor to take the drawing(s) if she can photograph the work. This offer is for donors in the Chicagoland area. A grab bag of awesome stuff from the other donation levels is yours as well at the $500 level.

This reward is from J. Ashley Miller, Harold 2010 week one producer and member of SSION and Carnal Torpor. It is limited to donors in the Kansas City area. Mr. Miller has graciously offered a dueling lesson in which you will learn: "a form of transdisciplinary improvisation in which combatants must overcome their opponent(s) using intellect, embodiment and intuition. Think wizards in a field, not allowed to touch each other... but anything else goes!!!" This reward will serve you well in your efforts to defeat your enemies, and comes with a grab bag of great stuff from our other donation levels as well.
