Release, bonus trax, merch, BOW, YouTube, orchestra
Whew!
Who would have thought releasing two albums within 4 months of each other would be so much work?!
Patron Quest
Public release date is March 11, a little more than 2 weeks away. With only 4 tracks available before release, I was excited to find out that the album is already trending on Bandcamp in the Adventure category! That's pretty rad!
[Patron Quest: The Search For The Mystic Fountain](/pq]
Please share with friends, family, neighbours, cousins, enemies! I'm super excited to have this out there!
Don't forget that as a patron, you already have access to this! 😁💛
With everything else going on, I'm also working on some bonus tracks, possibly only for Bowerbird+ patrons, maybe all patrons, spinning off of the chiptune / Patron Quest theme.
Limited Edition Cassette
This is not a sure thing yet, but I'm looking at the possibility of a very limited cassette of both SSFPIII (side A) & Patron Quest (side B). My hope is to find an option to get into patron hands at a nice discount and possibly public release as well.
Breakout West
I virtually attended my second Breakout West (Western Canada music industry conference), early this month. It was highly productive for me, leading to some great contacts and ideas including funding for an orchestral project!
YouTube Stardom!
Well, maybe not quite. Some of you might remember back in 2020 when I did some saxophone work for LilDeuceDeuce. It ended up on YouTube in a couple tiny blips with 10 million views in a week! Well, that project is apparently being revisted by the YouTuber (TomSka), so LilDeuceDeuce and I made a little something fun to go with it. Once it's live, I'll definitely share it! I'm told it'll be a month or so.
SSFPIV
Yes, I am already in the planning/logistics phase of the next Short Songs For Patrons project. I'll be changing things up once again, so stay tuned. More on that later.
I think that's it for now. As always, thank you so much for being a patron! It really means a lot to me to know that I'm doing all this stuff for you, and not only to amuse myself (although it's definitely for that too)!
Be well and reach out anytime,
Chris
