About "Beyond The Wall Of Sleep" http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/beyond-the-wall-of-sleep-solo-album
My name is Christian Muenzner, I'm a guitar player and composer from Bad Neustadt, Germany, I play for the bands Obscura, Spawn Of Possession and Paradox. In 2011 I released my first instrumental solo album "Timewarp", now I want to release my second album "Beyond The Wall Of Sleep".
The reason that I decided to go for a crowdfunding campaign is that in the small niche of instrumental music it is almost impossible to find a label which gives the necessary support to produce a quality album unless you're a really big name, which is why most instrumental albums feature drum computers and cheap artwork. Not to mention that even though my bands are popular, my name is an individual is not, which is another reason why a label won't take the risk to finance such an album in times of constantly declining record sales.
I want my album to be of the same quality as a serious band release, including real musicians, the best possible sound and production and a quality cover and artwork. If you agree with me on that, please help me to make it happen!
What I Need & What You Get
The money will be used to produce the album and the T-shirts and posters. The album production costs include:
- drum recordings
- mixing and mastering of the album
- the cover artwork and illustrations
- the pressing of the CD's
I intend no personal enrichment with the collected funds, any potential left overs will go into fees for the awesome musicians who despite their busy schedules invested a lot of hard work, time and energy to help me to record this album.
The album will feature 11 instrumental tracks which are a logical evolution from Timewarp, such as the track that can be seen and heard in the video above. Here is a compilation of various sections from the album. Since the mix and master is going to happen in March, these are just quick rough mixes:
The Line Up http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/beyond-the-wall-of-sleep-solo-album
