Second Album Recordings

I am recording an experimental electronic album and need your help to finish it.

I am an indie musician from Portland Oregon, turned Kiwi and now living in Wellington New Zealand; singer, songwriter, pianist and synthesizer player. I'm about to step into the studio with some new songs to record what will become my second album.

I am known for my piano driven style in the indie alternative realm, and typically hear comparisons to Tori Amos and PJ Harvey. However, lately I've been working on some new tunes, and have stepped back from writing on piano and have refocused my writings to be centered around the Prophet 6 synthesizer. The result is a much more electronic sound that draws inspiration from artists like Bjork, Arca, Deru and Goldfrapp.

These new songs are gritty, raw and dark. They were recently described to me as "love spread across an ambient deathscape."

I'll be working with Thomas Voyce from Rhombus for this album, who also worked on my first album, In the Shallows (recording the piano and producing the electronic track Goodnight Sweetheart). This time around Thomas will be taking the reins as recording and mixing engineer, as well as producer. Then mastering will be done at Munki Studios with Mike Gibson (who also mastered my first album).

I am lucky to be able to cover all of the recording costs and album art with my own savings, but I've fallen short of being able to cover everything needed to make this album available to the people. I hope you might like to help me finish it!

I need to raise $3000 to cover the remaining costs of making the album, such as mixing and mastering. Anything I raise above this goal amount will go towards getting phycial copies of the album printed and music videos made, along with other marketing and promo costs.

Thank you for your support and thank you in advance for donating. I really look forward to sharing this music with you.
