Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 25, 2011.
Thank you for your patience everyone.
I'm mailing the CD's this week! So keep an eye on your mail box the week following.
Also, the new album is now on Itunes! Spread the word. Here's the link for that http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hungry-moon/id473965358
Hey Ryan here,
I want to let you know that the master of Hungry Moon is wrapping up and I will be sending you a code to download your free MP3 version of the album within the next week.
It will take an additional 2-3 weeks to get you the physical CD since I'm having them duplicated down in New Jersey. I will contact you again to get your mailing info to send you your CD's. Please keep a look out for that and the code for your free MP3 download of Hungry Moon!
I will be in touch soon!

I'm just checking in to thank you all for your patience. The last phase of my project is well under way. Things are moving along well and every extra moment spent on this album has been well worth it.
While in the mastering phase of the CD, I shall also be organizing the artwork and notes for the album. I have attached an MP3 sample of "Hungry Moon" for all of you to hear. I ask that you listen to the tune and let me know if any imagery comes to your mind. Perhaps it will inspire me for my album art. So please take a listen to the audio sample below and let me know what you think. It's just a taste of what's to come.
Thanks again for your patience. The time you have allowed me to work longer on this only secures the quality of the final cd.
Best,
Ryan Flaherty
So it looks like I underestimated the budget for my album... I still need a bit more to get the CD duplicated and distributed, so I am running a continuation of my Kick Starter Project. I do not expect any of my present backers to pledge again, but if you would like to pledge again to help see the album to the final stages... please pledge here on my continuation page: http://kck.st/qcvHA7
This also gives you a chance to let others know about my project. So even if you decide to not up your pledge, please spread the word by directing people to the above link. Every dollar helps. I will be accepting pledges as low as $1.
For those of you that have already pledged and decide to up your pledge on my continuation project, please include a personal message to me so I can communicate with you and send you a few samples of what will be on the album.
Once again I thank you for your support. I'm almost there and I am truly excited. The album is sounding fantastic and I could not have done it without you.
Sincerely,
Ryan Flaherty
So I got few votes from my backers, but those who wrote me back chose HUNGRY MOON for the album title... and I am glad. It is the one I think. One of my friends backing me here said that Merry Meet sounded to much like a Renaissance album... I agree :) So Hungry Moon it is.
Other news: So I have had a few set backs with the mixes on the album... turns out I needed a bit more time to mix some tracks so I will be starting the mastering phase over the next few weeks... but I still intend to get this done before September is over, so no worries and if anything changes you can bet I will let you know.
I am planning my release party for November 4th at Blue in Portland, ME just so you know. But you will have your CD well before then.
Cheers,
Ryan Flaherty
