Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 15, 2012.
For anyone who might have missed it, the campaign for a Brassft version of "Get Lucky" only has a couple of days left to go. That project also serves as a second chance to order the vinyl record of the original 4 tunes, for those who'd like to order that:

Thanks all! More soon!

I am obsessed with the new Daft Punk single, Get Lucky. The guys in the Brassft Punk band are all digging it, too. This tune is begging to be brassified. I can't just sit here and let this opportunity pass me by, so... I decided to launch a small kickstarter campaign to record that one song. Here's the link:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Samplefreq/brassft-punk-does-get-lucky
There are 2 basic rewards for it:
•Downloads of "Get Lucky"
•Copies of the original Brassft Punk 4-song vinyl + a download of "Get Lucky"
The vinyl will be the same as the ones I offered in the original Brassft Punk campaign, but they won't be signed/numbered or include the other extras reserved for original backers. Still, I've had a lot of inquiries from people that missed the 1st campaign and wanted to order the vinyl. For all those folks - now's your chance. :)
All vinyl is set to be shipped in July.
Who wants to Get Lucky?
For backers only. If you're a backer of this project, please log in to read this post.
I just wanted to drop a note to say that if your reward included it, you should get your vinyl copy in July. That's happening. More news on that soon.
In other news, stems went out several days ago to backers that opted for them. If you were supposed to get them and haven't, please PM me.
I hope at this point everyone's gotten their download copies of the album. Just in case not - anyone who still hasn't gotten their code or is having trouble downloading, please PM me so I can get that taken care of for you.

PHONEFT - Send me a recording of your voicemail greeting, I'll tweak it, freak it, and glitch it out & send it back -OR- send me a recorded message that you want to leave for someone and I'll tweak that for you. It'll still be intelligible, but the person on the other end might think they're having an acid flashback (example link at bottom of "about this project" section). I've done this for a couple of friends, and it's always been fun & really catches people off guard. Also includes a vinyl copy of the record, download+, and backer access.

ARTFT - Get original album-related color artwork by me, drawn on top of a page of my hand-written sheet music arrangements used in the sessions. It'll be cartoon-ish renderings of stuff that pertains to the album - maybe me in a Daft Punk visor, or possibly a robot playing a tuba, or... who knows?!?!? It'll be a fun surprise, and I promise to make it funky, colorful, and suitable for framing. Also includes a vinyl copy of the record, download+, and backer access.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERFT - don a silly hat (your own, or one can be provided) and hang out in the background at the sessions. [note: Why the silly hat? I'm not sure. I just feel like that's a quality I'd admire in an executive producer.] Take photos with the band, get executive producer credit on the record, get 5 copies of the record on vinyl, as well as download+ and backer access. Does not include transportation of any sort, so if you're out of town you've got to find your way here for the sessions.
