Tom Christen

I'm Tom Christen and I'm looking to fund the recording of the new Dreamworm album, entitled The Journey.

This album has been a long time coming. 

I launched Dreamworm in 2019 after having worked on the songs and the concept for many years. 

I've written dozens of songs for Dreamworm and chosen the best for this next recording.

Making good music costs a lot of money. I've put thousands into Dreamworm already, not to mention a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Now I am asking others to get involved. I'm proud of what we've accomplished so far with Dreamworm but I want to raise the bar for these new songs.

I've always felt like Dreamworm was an idea that was bigger than one person. The only way that I could get up the confidence to be the singer of a band was to make it about something larger than myself.

Hence The Dreamworm. An epic beast from another dimension, come to swallow the Earth and everything on it. 

The Journey is a concept album, that picks up where the last album left off. After the Dreamworm eats the world, we find that we are not destroyed, but changed. Transformed.

The process of writing these songs has definitely transformed me. I do my best to be a good person, but often feel like I am falling short of being the man I am capable of being. 

I can't tell you what these songs will mean to others. But for me it is the next step in my evolution. A chance to create something awesome, while at the same time giving me an opportunity to give back to those who are supporting my dreams in the form of some really cool rewards.

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, which means that if we do not hit the minimum amount ($1500), the campaign is unsuccessful, the pledges don't go through and we receive nothing. 

The entirety of the funds raised from this campaign will be put towards Dreamworm content. I will not receive any profit from this crowdfund, in fact in order to fulfill my vision for this project I will need to invest my own savings in addition to the money received from the Pozible campaign. 

I have received quotes from the people who will be involved in the recording. I've crunched the numbers and am ready to make this happen.

Thankyou for taking the time to view this campaign. Please check out the rewards. I'm excited about getting them out to you. All physical rewards will be mailed out in January 2021. Free shipping within Australia. Overseas shipping available upon request. 

I really hope you feel inspired to take part in this project. 

Together we will make The Journey a reality. 

$1500 : 

This means that we can record, mix, and master THE JOURNEY PART 1. The songs will be released online in December 2020. 

The album will be recorded and mixed by Mike Trubetskov at EOL studios. Mike is a consumate professional and did an incredible job on previous Dreamworm recordings. He not only recorded my guitar and vocals but also played keyboards, programmed drums, and mixed the songs. He also took me through a pre-production stage, assisting with the songwriting process to make sure the recordings were as tight as possible.

Mastering will be done by Tony "Jack the Bear" Mantz at Deluxe Mastering. Apart from being a world-renowned mastering engineer, Tony is a beautiful guy and a good friend of mine. 

Online distribution will be through CD Baby, which makes the songs available on all major streaming platforms.

Once this target is hit, other stretch goals will be set.
