About this project
Howdy hip-hoppers, gamers and everyone in-between. We are Random (aka Mega Ran) and K-Murdock. Indie Musicians on a mission.
In June 2010, we released an album called "Forever Famicom" that sampled some of our favorite video games. In just 3 months, it's become both of our biggest and most critically acclaimed works to date.
We'd like to make the experience that much sweeter for all involved by creating a DVD of the sprite videos for each song that have been made by awesome artist, Griff Morivan. Have you seen these? Peep em!
Chapter 1: Intro

Chapter 2: Dream Master

Now just imagine an entire DVD with all 14 episodes in full HD Quality, and YOUR NAME in the end credits! It can happen...it WILL!
That's only the first phase of our vision. We want to create a 7' Vinyl pressing that will contain the next double-single, "The Girl With The Make-Up" and another yet-to-be-determined single, plus remixes and special versions of them. This'll be sure to be a collectors item!
Remember that every cent you donate goes toward making more music for you. Being indie (read: broke), we haven't been able to pay the artists, Griff and Kevin, nearly what their awesome services were worth. So even if we are lucky enough to exceed our goal of $2,500, we can provide payment to the artists, press up enough vinyl and DVDs for everyone, plus pay shipping costs, maybe even foot the bill for a trip to your hometown for a show!
PLEASE NOTE, because of how Kickstarter is set up, if we don't make our funding goal of $2,500, all money donated is refunded, we don't get any money at all, and no rewards will be distributed. So please donate, and tell a friend!
Now's your chance to have a hand in our next phase and get your piece of our newest offering. Please check out all the great reward levels we've put together over to the right-hand sidebar }}}}}}
And to make the reward levels even sweeter, we'll be releasing unreleased songs as a way of unlocking achievements of $1000, $2000, and $3000.
all backers at any amount receive all the project updates, so you get to keep up with the happenings!

FAQ

as of now, no :( we will put the 7 commission tracks in the DVD case with instrumentals and bonus stuff and get those out to you very soon.

umm... i'm not sure. hit him up at youtube.com/morivanism
-
one thing i've learned about vinyl pressing is that it's a very long and tedious process that involves many handlers, and many test presses. last ive heard from K is that the final press came back good, so now we have to wait for the vinyl to come from Denmark or some place so I'm hoping by early July.
