Beautiful Sadness Kickstarter Campaign is Coming Soon!
Please subscribe to the mailing list to get updates and notifications about the album and future releases
I am releasing a Kickstarter Exclusive Special Edition CD produced in a limited edition run. This will make the CD a highly collectible signed edition. It includes 13 tracks and has been re-mixed and mastered for this special release. What makes this album unique is that it was created in a story concept format. It plays as a continuous listening experience with each song seamlessly transitioning to the next with ASMR like natural and ambient audio stimulus, guiding and leading your emotions throughout the story. It also has an exclusive extended version for one of the tracks.
Each disk will be signed and hand stamped with my Kanji signature with a set of custom carved Japanese hanko stamps that I had created on a recent trip to Japan.
There will also be available in the tiers, the first release of the Instrumental Version album along with the Digital Download, months before it is released to the public!
Why We Need Your Support:
Supporting independent artists/musicians is very challenging in these times. While streaming is in the forefront of music consumption, they do not fairly compensate the artists in a real manner. This is why it is important to support artists in ventures such as this as physical sales of merchandise such as CDs and other items helps to offset the poor returns with just streaming alone. Creating a professional, high-quality album on CD comes with significant costs. I’m seeking your support to cover these production costs and to ensure that this music reaches listeners in the most authentic and impactful way possible. Additionally, the funds will help support the cost for the next album.
Inspired by rock music that I grew up with, I incorporated the same aesthetic throughout. From the classic rock of late 70's, metal rock bands of the 80's along with the melodic vocals of female singers. I also included my love for sweeping orchestrations and complex harmonies that makes each song unique and full of surprises.
I have been living with these songs in my mind for nearly forty years. I am so pleased you have decided to join me on this journey filled with beautiful melodies, emotional orchestrations, rich harmonies and powerful guitars.
Thank you for experiencing Beautiful Sadness!
