This means composer George Oldziey will be able to move forward with a live orchestra and make this exciting project a reality. There is still quite a bit of leg work yet to complete, but George has already been taking preliminary steps to scout out possibilities and make preparations. Since there's still three weeks left in the Kickstarter, we're also in excellent shape to be able to hit the stretch goal of $24,000 to add in a live choir. Let your friends know or contribute if you can!
Woo hoo!!! We made it to the target of $16,000 in 10 days! You all are AMAZING!! Thank you SO MUCH from the bottom of my heart! ALLTinker put us over the top last night (after my bedtimeWhat a great way to wake up today!
So, you are all now guaranteed an orchestral recording of at least 40 more minutes from those great WC games. NEXT, is to go for a stretch goal of another $6K to record a beautiful choir to add to the score with members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, one of the greatest in the world! Please pass the word!
Thank you again, my friends! I can't wait to start the process!
Musically yours,
George
