Ok, I wont see it as silly...it's interesting. I am having a bit of a time of it, trying to figure out what this album wants to say. I think of an albums as over all compositions with different movements.
Thanks for the update. It's not silly at all. I think that kind of communication us essential to a good kickstarter campaign. It's like calling your Mom once in a while to let her know how you're doing, Have a great time in Europe! Bring a sweater.
Good question Daniel, I am gearing up, it will be weekly video, mp3 or text. I have been just figuring out when and how to record the album. I have a list of songs I've been trying to understand as a group, then I have to be very efficient with the recording time..etc.. anyway. I am planning on sending out a report on how i plan to make the album by monday!
so when do the weekly video or mp3 updates start?
I'm excited to see what you've got up your sleeve, and to see you play here in Seattle this month.
So so happy you made it! Looking forward to it! Yay! Woo Hoo!! *fist pumped and arm drawn in, I do an elbow jab to the air* YES!!!! Congrats!
Hurrah Sxip! If you return to Brighton please come and stay in my house again ... xx
You made it! Rock on! Guess I have to pay up now...
Ta Da!
Congratulations on reaching the finish line! :) Can't wait to hear the final product.
Yesssss! I am really looking forward to this :)
woo!
Yay Sxip!!
Rock on big brother! You'll make it!
Ah, such a close call... But I just know we'll make it. Had to upgrade my pledge - I may be poor, but I need this to happen!
I am very happy to be now an official backer of you!!!
After seeing how my kids rock out to Sonic New York, how could I pass on this.
This album will be a treat to all the uninitiated. Sxip is a scientist of sound, experimenting and creating new and exciting tones for weary ears. Proud member of the Antique Army.
An amazing and mezmerizing taste of what's to come. I can't wait!
I already know I'll love the music. I was won over by the lettering!
Sxip's music is a audiophonic transportation device that takes you beyond the environment of both yourself and the musician and leaves you in a place where creativity flows more freely. I don't think I've ever had such a marvelous tool for pushing through writer's block or long slow days like I have achieved via the music of Mr. Shirey. Money spent here is not just a donation, it's an investment.
