Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 6, 2011.

And we're back!

Update #8 · Sep 13, 2011 · 5 comments

I'm happy to report that we successfully completed the Mongol Rally!  Our little Hyundai Accent crawled into the finish line on September 1, being held together with duct tape, cellophane tape, and steel twine.  It was an incredible ride.  Many of you were with us all the way, and we are eternally grateful for your support!  Recordings, CDs, spices, hats, and stories all made it back to New York safe and sound.

But the project is not finished just yet!  One of our team members is currently in China, continuing to record and pick up music and sounds along the way.  I hear we may be getting some Chinese opera...

The two of us who are back home are beginning to organize our images, edit sounds, and write stories.  We will start posting to our website silkroadinstereo.com this week, so be on the look out.

Thanks again to all our backers!  We seriously couldn't have done it without you all.

      Hi Brian,

      We are already posting sounds and stories on our website, www.silkroadinstereo.com. We will continue to add more every week, so keep checking! Everything will be downloadable, either from the site or from SoundCloud.

      As for the CDs and things, we hope to have that organized and mailed out by late November. We have a ton of music and recordings to go through and find the best!

      I'll post an update soon. Thanks for checking in!
