Dying Stars EP

November 23rd, 2005 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0) |

During the month of January 2006 I will actualize a lifelong dream and record a 5-6 song EP (An EP is the name given to CDs which are too long to qualify as singles but too short to qualify as albums: Wikipedia). I am taking a J-term course at Luther College called “Recording Original Music,” so that will be nearly all I do for the entirety of the month. I have contacted a recording/mixing/mastering studio that is going to help master and produce the album. The tentative title for the EP is the “Dying Stars EP.”

In order to produce a final product of which I can be proud and that is satisfying to listeners and fans, there are many fees involved. These fees incude the cost of mastering the album, design of the album art, CD duplication and production, etc. I do not currently have the necessary amount of money required for such a project.

Which is why I would like to ask for your help. Your donation of $10, $15, or $25 will help me reach my goal of releasing a CD. These amounts are only suggestions; any amount from $1 and above is accepted and appreciated. Anyone who donates $10 or more to the project will receieve a free copy upon it’s finalization in mid-2006. I will accept donations via Amazon Honor System (Visa, Mastercard) and personal checks or cash via my mailing address.

Click the button on the right or this link to donate via Amazon. It’s fast, easy, and secure.

If you would like to donate by mailing to me or if you have any questions, please send me an email (jakebouma [at] gmail [dot] com) for my mailing address.

All of this information is on its own page, which can be found on the navigation bar at the top of this website. I would request that if you are directing people to donate, direct them to that page, not this post or jakebouma.com.

Thank you in advance for your support.
