road trip

Hello all, I (Joel) am leaving Wisconsin for a few days to make a trip to the MO/KS area to visit with friends and family and to screen some pieces of the album and film.

I write to you now from our room/studio in the Stükenberg home, we have just completed the last recordings of the voice overs! I will be placing the final audio bits this week and when I return we will be taking pre-orders and giving you some more in depth information on the future of the project.

This weeks video is an excerpt from the film featuring our cellist player Thea Vorass.

roll credits..

Today is the day I place the final credits in the film (Essentially done) What does that mean? When can you see the film? Whats next for us is to finish mastering the album, then we'll produce the 'Limited Edition' copies (We'll begin pre-orders next weekend)

After both are done and we finally stop touching them up we'll be either releasing the project ourselves or we'll set the project free and sign a distribution deal. We have a number of meetings coming in the next few weeks to decide the best plan. A lot depends on sales of the first batch of the 'Limited Edition' copies.

I'll also be submitting the film to many different film festivals both in the U.S. and globally in hopes of spreading the word as much as possible.

As I mentioned in previous weeks we will be setting up a sort of DIY street team. Our poster contest winner Rich will be designing a new poster with us and once that is complete we'll be making prints and will be able to send them out to you to place all over your city/town/record store/coffee shop/etc. Stickers and other materials will also be coming soon.

I could tell you a lot more about new projects and plans coming up with Stükenberg but we have to keep you coming back!
