And so we come around to one of those magic moments where we actually comment on The Steampunk Opera itself and how its creation is proceeding.<\/p>\n
First, to recap. The entire thing has been written and the music recorded. The 3rd Act\u00a0has\u00a0even been rewritten and indeed i’ll probably touch it up some more.<\/p>\n
I am headed to London tonight (technically tomorrow morning) for a 5 Am flight (kill me)\u00a0and\u00a0over the course of this\u00a0next\u00a0week will be recording an exceptionally\u00a0talented\u00a0team of vocalists in order to complete 2 full\u00a0demos\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0project.<\/p>\n
We are assembling a 5 song demo of selections from the show and a second demo consisting of the entire 1st Act. These can then be used for multiple purposes, but the most important one is to attract the \u00a0resources\u00a0necessary to premiere the show in 2012.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the demos, one\u00a0of\u00a0them at least, if not both will be available on this blog and i’ll be replacing the Music Excerpts that are currently up now.<\/p>\n
One of\u00a0the\u00a0demos, maybe both, i’ll figure it out, will be made widely available and\u00a0disseminated\u00a0as much as possible as the\u00a0most\u00a0important thing that can be done at this juncture is to create interest in\u00a0the\u00a0project and attract parties who can help.<\/p>\n
There will be Kickstarter campaign which will focus on raising\u00a0funds\u00a0for some particular aspect of The Steampunk Opera, but we’ll deal with that later. (I should\u00a0have\u00a0started a bloody campaign to raise finances for this\u00a0recording\u00a0session because London is fucking brutal)<\/p>\n
Obviously, this will be a dead week for posts. Check back next week and i’ll have more fun shenanigans for your amusement not to mention some completed tracks to listen to.<\/p>\n
Cheers.<\/p>\n
(PS just to mention, words like “bloody” and “cheers” are not dotting my conversation due to enthusiasm over going to london, i actually use them in my daily conversation. When i was in my early 20s i lived in Chicago and my circle of friends were all English. I picked up both “bloody” and “cheers”, with ‘bloody’\u00a0being\u00a0especially useful as you can use in place of the f-bomb and admittedly, i find swearing to be wonderfully useful as a way of colorfully expressing one’s thoughts. In any case, they long ago got cemented into my speech patterns so sod\u00a0the\u00a0fuck off.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
