Funding a New CD
 )Anyway, I've had an incredible opportunity to write a new work and have it included on an upcoming CD that is set for national distribution. It's something I could never equal all on my own, and I'm so excited that Ovidiu Marinescu from Trio Casals asked me to be part of it. Of course, funding for classical music nowadays is almost negligible, so I've put up a Kickstarter campaign to help me cover my costs. I promise, this is the only post I'll put on the forum about the Kickstarter! But if anyone is so inclined to check it out, I'd really appreciate it. And whether you contribute or not (money is tight for all of us!), if you like what you see, maybe you could help spread the word to your friends! Here's the Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1763978672/three-songs-for-trio-casals And just to be sure we stay sheepie-focused, here's a picture of Benson - just for fun!  |

| Cool, I'll definitely look into this, and good luck! |
What a wonderful opportunity for you!!  We will check it out too. Benson looks beautiful as usual  |
| Thanks, David & Brenda. This came out of nowhere, and at a perfect time for me! It's the capper to a pretty great year, and I'm incredibly pleased and very, very lucky! I couldn't edit my original post, but did want to mention that Kickstarter (in case folks aren't familiar with it) is an all-or-nothing funding platform. In other words, the campaign ends on 8/31, period. None of the backers are charged until that date, and ONLY if the funding goal is met. If the goal isn't met, no one gets charged a dime. And now I promise, back to sheepies!  |
| What a great opportunity for you--good luck! I will check it out! Kickstarter is very popular here in Nashville. Several artists I know have had great success with it. I think it is a nice idea!! |
I'm sneaking in a bump on this thread . . . and a Benson puppy picture to catch your eye! If you could share the Kickstarter link with any musically-inclined friends, that would be greatly appreciated, too! I've only got 2 weeks left to hit my goal! |
| So . . . a bit of a bummer. The Kickstarter didn't get funded. But that's kind of typical for new music, unfortunately. If anyone's interested in my expanded musings, I did blog about it today. http://composerjones.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/a-kickstarter-summary/ And thanks, too, to the folks who helped spread the word. That brought in some unexpected support! Benson says thanks, too!  |
