Experience the romance... come to the orchestra session in Prague! You'll be right there in the control room, in the studio, and visiting me and the orchestra on the sound stage. Afterwards we'll go to dinner, our heads spinning with love songs and strings. Truly unforgettable.

You're a musician yourself, you're making your own record, and you love strings? Well, let me create a string arrangement for your own record, and record the orchestra playing it in Prague! I'll consult with you, and then create a string arrangement to your own 3 minute song incorporating your ideas and my own. I'll then send you a synth strings demo, and see if you have a revision before the orchestral session. After that, I'll create a conductor's score and orchestral sheet music, and you'll attend the orchestra recording session online from the comfort of your own home! A more romantic, emotional, classier record is within your reach!!!

The ultimate gift for your loved one... I'll write a song inspired by your own beautiful love story (because all love stories are exquisitely beautiful!) and then I'll record it with the orchestra in Prague. This reward includes me writing the song, creating a full orchestral string arrangement, conductor's score and sheet music. And then recording the song myself, having any other instruments recorded (like guitar, bass and drums), and then having the strings recorded by the full symphony orchestra. It's going to sound absolutely epic! And of course, you'll both attend the orchestra recording session online. This truly is the perfect gift for your wedding anniversary, or a uniquely loving birthday gift. And it would be an exceptional way to propose marriage, and walk down the aisle to your song! Guaranteed to melt your loved-one's heart at every listening, from now to eternity...
Oh wonderful, I'm so glad you're enjoying it, David! Another one of my other cherubs, a lady called Bella, thinks these pedals are going to become collectable, and I think she's right... they're such brilliant pedals! Very grateful for your support, enjoy playing music!!!
I just received my Fishman pedal! Awesome piece of gear.
Thanks Ysanne... Can't wait to hear the album!
Hello darling I just made a small pledge!
Good luck and a beautiful 2012 to you!

So excited you got BPAL to do a scent for your song! I can't wait to smell it.
What a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for pledging, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your ideas for my score to your new movie :)

Ysanne,
I love your work - rather than sending me something for the donation - I would rather talk to you about scoring one of my films this year. Find me at matt@mattdeanfilms.com when you have a moment. Congrats and good luck on the project. I cant wait to hear it! -
