'No Other Moment' CD
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this Project and helping it reach the goal so rapidly., It has been very fortifying to experience such good hearted intention.
For newcomers to the project, it is still open till 9th August, so you can still Pledge towards it till then. Any amount up to $6,500 will be specifically contributing towards Artwork and the first CD run of Duplication.
For those who don't know me, I am a pianist , composer, singer, arranger.
I have been playing music in many formats and have written music for film , meditation commentaries, theatre , dance and sacred events.
Now I write music for it's own sake , as a symbol of my connection to my inner spiritual experience.
This CD is the realization of a dream that I've had for about 15 years, of combining the spirit of Renaissance chorale music and devotional music with pop music. Apart from own happiness , this music is the next best gift I can offer to the world.
I've nearly finished recording all of the music, done solo to date, and it has been a labour of love over nearly 4 years . It's with the next step that I need the help.
The pledge money would go towards the mixing, mastering and of the first run of the CD. I intend to mix it at Steve Scanlon's Studio in Elsternwick Melbourne ( he has engineered recordings from artists ranging from Vanessa Amorosi to Kate Cebrano ). The music is very layered and complex at times, so the production is critical to doing the music justice. I couldn't possibly engineer it effectively myself.
I promise that any money over the pledge amount will be put back into cost of Duplicating the first run of CDs, most of the Cover Design costs and Promotion of the CD.
This is how the money will be spent :
Pozible and Credit Card fees $380
Mixing, Mastering $4,700
Postage of Rewards to donors $200
CD Graphic design $220
TOTAL $5,500
I will finish this CD no matter what, but it will be such a thrill , with your support, to get it completed soon,
much love,
Michael Westlake
