what do you want from me

project budget keeps increasing. disturbing trend. part of the problem is i’m planning on doing the fundraising on kickstarter so i need worthwhile rewards to offer backers, and they create an additional expense. the other big part is i have no idea how much studio time this will need.

working on a demo of “welcome to the machine.” i’ve hit a lull, probably means i’m shot for the day.

i put out a craigslist ad about a trent reznor sound-alike, and am combing my facebook friends for session musicians. have a possible guitarist. the vocals will be tough. i’ll probably need to crowdsource the process of finding him.

don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one

started work today on the next demo track, “welcome to the machine.” with a sample of that one and the “empty spaces” sample previously posted, i hope to start publicizing the project. market it to some blogs, get a kickstarter going.

another brick in the wall

consulting some copyright resources, it looks like i ought to get a license from pink floyd to distribute covers of their songs, even for free. or at least ask for permission. i had been seeking out contact information for their publishers, but instead found a website that covers the licensing for you. this unfortunately adds another expense to the project, but means in addition to putting it online for free i could make cds or vinyls of it.

i’m probably going to start a kickstarter or indiegogo account, but want to have a decent sample work to post first. i’ll post it here too, of course. probably first. i still haven’t worked out the rewards i’d offer for a kickstarter, and i don’t even know how indiegogo works, but i’m thinking if i can get funding through something like that i could probably release the album by august 2014.

fingers crossed.
