Just in time for the zombie apocalypse, I am working on a three song E.P. about love, death and insanity called "Zombie Heart."
Hi friends! This last year has been a crazy one for me, and I've been writing up a storm. For the past few months, I have been working on a new E.P. called Zombie Heart so that I can get some of my new music into your ears. It's a three song E.P. featuring 'Field of Marigolds,' 'The Wilds' and 'Zombie Heart,' which are songs I wrote about love, death and insanity. They are all piano songs and I am so excited to finish them up because I feel like I haven't recorded enough of what I've written on piano over the years. I've played since I was four years old and it's always really satisfying to write on piano more than any other instrument. These songs are very meaningful to me and I can't wait to share them with you! In order to finish them, I really need about $2K, but I'm trying to set a realistic goal, and if you guys want to help me raise more, that would be incredible. Here's a list of what I will need:
$300 to lay some sweet lead guitar down
$300 for some amazing strings
$200 for the engineer to re track the vocals on a better mic
$400 to mix and master
As you can see, things stack up, but I wanted to try to make an achievable goal. I'm hoping to make a bit more than $1k to have the E.P. printed to download cards, which will cost about $350. Also, I need to redo one of the drum tracks, so that will cost $100, but would be super stoked just to get the grand. I am also out of shirts, which cost $700 to print. I would love to have them for my 3 month tour to NY and back.
Also, my touring vehicle, Spartacus, has 242K miles on him and his brakes are going out. If you'd like to give a little to keep Spartacus alive, and thereby keeping me alive, that would be glorious. Your support is greatly, greatly appreciated!!
Love,
Gayle Skidmore
