In a jam- long time friends and fans, please read.
Hey folks.
I'll cut to the chase- Equus was not able to get enough hours at work this past half a month, and we are going to miss our car payment entirely unless I do something about it. So, I've been thinking about this idea a while before now, and I'm going to give it a try. Equus and I need the help. We have roughly 450 dollars to make up to make this payment, and about 7 days to do it in.
You've seen me all across the country this year, performing music from stages like Further Confusion, Rainfurrest, Anthrocon, Furfright, even Midwest Furfest. You've heard me live every Thursday night for over a year- I gave away my entire library to anyone who would write down the address to celebrate being Guest of Honor for Furfright. I sold the rest of my physical CDs at Furfright, leaving me with digital only.
I am going to be starting an 8th album, codenamed "Ram Trance" thanks to some friends of mine. It's going to have the work you've come to know so well from me, but it is also going to be an experimental album, working in more modern sounds with the help of my software and my Kaossilator.
I am giving here now a chance for you all to shape this concept- to be in it yourselves.
What I'm offering:
1) Your own song, in either my old style or the new one I'm working into. You will be able to guide my creative process yourself to come up with something unique to you.
2) A signed and dedicated hard copy of this, -and every- further album I produce, FOR LIFE. I will print hard copies especially and only for these people.
3) Access to all songs I post at their highest quality, as soon as I post them. Notification to be sent via email.
4) For those who don't already have it, or are giving this slot as a gift, all previous albums to be delivered digitally.
5) Your name will be posted in the new shirerecords.com website under development as a major supporter and fan. ETA on the website is 2011.
6) .WAV files will be made available upon request to these people for those who want completely untouched audio.
For this, I am asking 100 dollars.
Additionally, I am offering my own services as a lounge musician in the following way:
If you live within 6 hours of me (I live dead center of California, so the bay area is very well covered) I will come give a private concert for you and your friends, 1-2 hours in length, for 200 dollars. I'm very good at creating a soothing and relaxed atmosphere for people to enjoy, come together and chill, draw art, or just mellow out. All equipment provided, just give me a place to set up and play.
If you do not live within 6 hours of me, I am offering the same service at any convention I am going to for room parties- please check with me in advance. Tentatively I am looking at going to any of the conventions previously listed, and if multiple people request the same one it becomes more easy for me to fill those particular requests.
Regular music commissions are still 50 dollars, and can be done on any topic or person if you are not interested in the perks listed above for the next album.
If any of this is of interest to you, or you have questions, please email me at flare@shirerecords.com or note me on FA at FlareStarfire. Regardless, thank you for being my fans, my listeners, my friends- I hope you will continue to enjoy the sounds I put out both now and into the future.
If you could, please point other people to my journal hear if you know they listen to my music- I have a very short time in which to gather these funds to avoid defaulting the car loan.
Also- if you wish to just lend a hand in your own way, my paypal is flarestarfire@yahoo.com . If you are wanting a slot for Ram Trance, there is no need to contact me in advance, and I will be in contact with you directly using the email provided from Paypal about further details.
Regards,
Flare Starfire
