Update #4: Album released!
Spacefaring Male has been released digitally for the masses!
If you haven't gotten a copy yet, head to tylerwalker.bandcamp.com.
Simply enter $0 for "pay what you want" and the download is free.
As you can see, the cover came out splendidly. The video is in post production, but we don't have a release date.
I'm sending everything to the printers shortly, so I'll have physical CDs and photos available in a couple weeks. Everyone who is due rewards should expect them, hopefully, sometime in October.
Thanks again for your support.
Go Spaceman!
Update #3: Mastering Scheduled
Mastering session has been booked for June 26th. That means that the album will completely and totally done shortly thereafter!
We're still working on scheduling the video and cover shoot for July/August, but I'll get digital copies of the record out to everyone at the beginning of July.
Update #2: We did it!
Holy Wow!
I can't believe we made it, and with a week to spare.
We've hit the fund raising goal on the head, but that doesn't mean we can't still accept contributions. Any further funds will go directly toward the mastering costs for the record. (Which will likely exceed the cost of the space suit)
Thanks again for the support. I'll be contacting everyone about their rewards shortly after the fund raising period expires.
Go Spaceman!
Update #1: Almost there!
Wow, I've been floored by the response to this project.
I even get to make a custom song, and I have a new space pal! (with whom I'll be inextricably linked in the cosmos)
The album is nearing completion as well. I have two more songs to mix, then I need to send it out for mastering. (the audio equivalent of black magic...only more expensive)
I'm hoping to have the finished album by June. The physical copies may not happen until later, as I think the Space suit shoots will be in July.
Thanks again for your support. If you can help spread the word to get us over the last little hump, that'd be great.
Spacefully yours,
Tyler

To the archives!

A real, honest to goodness copy of the record on compact disc (google it, if you forgot what that was) Only 100 will be made. I'll sign them, too if you like. You'll also get the fancy-pants downloads. (Add $10 for intl. shipping)
