Dust from 1000 yrs is ready to record a new album, but woefully short on funds. Contribute money and be a part of the process!

dust from 1000 yrs has a new line-up and a new crop of songs, and we are ready to record a new album.  we are going back to sound workshop to work with mike notaro, the wizard behind prisoner's dilemma.  the big difference this time is that we are broke!  yes, these things cost money.  we could wait months and months to save up the money to record, but you want us to get in there as soon as humanly possible, so we don't lose our mojo, and you get new dust music in your ears quicker.

i hope you don't consider this digital panhandling.  with this project you get what you pay for.  pre-pre-pre-release digital downloads, lovingly hand-made cd-rs, and very exclusive music and packages.  but more than that you get to keep tabs, through photos and videos, of the progress of our new album, something we've never offered anyone before.  and you get the satisfaction of knowing you helped make something new happen in this otherwise dull and bleak world.

all the money you contribute goes towards the recording process, anything extra will be put towards the manufacture of the new album

  • What is SHYB?

    SHYB or so hard young boy is the record label run by ben from dust from 1000 yrs.  the label has been around since the start of dust and has always been very very small and poorly run.  the new dust album is expected to be released on SHYB, but there's always a chance we could get lucky and have the album released on a real record label.
