Dec. 29th, 2013:  KICKSTARTER IS LIVE!

kickstarter.nonfinite.org



--------------------------------

Hey everybody!  Starting tomorrow, I will be opening up a Kickstarter to fund a huuuuuge project I've taken on.  This project encompasses all sorts of new creative processes: learning a new instrument, creating a new 30 minute album of completely original material, and making artwork and printed materials from upcycled equipment.  This is perhaps the biggest creative undertaking I've ever sought to complete.  As such, it's going to take a bit of time to really sum up what it is I'm doing.  Please check out the videos to get a taste for what's to come!


About a week ago, I sat down with a portion of the animated film, The Snowman, and wrote a fully improvised score over it, on the fly.  Here is a clip of that process.  I will be using sounds and instruments close to my heart, (and currently at my disposal, use what I have wherever possible vs. buying more crap!) so expect lots of chip influence.

Expect this Kickstarter to run for about three weeks starting tomorrow.  Currently, the intention is to begin streaming daily content for backers about one week into the process.  This way, anyone backing will be able to check out what I and my friend and creative assistant, Alex, are up to, watch feeds, and talk with us.  We're going to make this project as organic and as open to influence as possible.  Oh, and did I mention I'm going to be teaching myself how to play bass guitar for this project?


Stay tuned.  All of the websites associated with my art and work will be changing over the next 24 hours to flow a bit better.  Expect bandcamp to be available on my main artist site, nonfinite.org, in a few hours.  Keep an eye out for updates on Youtube, and expect to hear frequent news right here as well.  Lots of amazing stuff on the way, folks.  Thanks for your time!

Here's the thing: I had no plans to use LSDJ for this project!  That being said, I'm not opposed to incorporating it.  So far, I've been using a couple different versions of nanoloop 2.x, both clean and with analog delay, and I have some test material done where I was playing some really hard dancy vinyl over some portions of the film.

What I CAN promise you, however, is complete transparency.  I'm releasing everything that has value, from the presentation I put together detailing the kickstarter schedule to video footage of the recording process to any sort of stems that end up being made.  If I do end up using LSDJ, there will be .savs available.  Same goes for famitracker .ftms, instruments, etc.  I'll even be exporting nanoloop patterns.  It seems sensible that this should all come standard for backers that top that $20 mark, as they're also getting streaming access from Jan 6th-20th.




By the way, if anyone has ideas about rewards, or thoughts on anything else, please speak up.  I'm very open to influence on this project.  I'm not really guiding this as much as whatever input decides to present itself will be guiding me for the next several weeks.

Here's hoping!  Thanks for the kind words.  If you want to stay up to date, please check out http://nonfinite.org as well!  I'm thinking that'll be THE resource for this.  Everything related will be linked to from there.

Exciting news!  I'm adding a limited quantity of our new line of backlights, the V5, for backers pledging $25 or more.  This will be a bonus, and not officially in the kickstarter.  V5s aren't commercially available for purchase quite yet, (but they will be soon!,) so you'll be getting some brand new tech before the rest of the peeps out there can get their hands on them.

If you decide to back our project, please drop me an email at nonfinite@gmail telling me what color you'd like and I'll have one shipped to you promptly at the end of the fundraiser.  Colors are white, blue, green, red, pink, yellow, and orange.
