Octet(o) (My Octet Kickstarter Project)

My Octet Kickstarter Project

Today I’m making a very special announcement.

In order to raise funds for the recording of Recontradoble, which will be the octet’s third album, we are launching a fundraising campaign today on Kickstarter.com. I hope that you’ll want to be a part of the adventure of making this new record a reality.

So, please take a look at our Kickstarter page,

where you can see our video presentation, listen to recent live recordings of pieces that will be on Recontradoble, and learn more about the group and the album. You can also follow the project’s progress and hear new recordings on my blog, http://octeto.tumblr.com/

If you decide to contribute, there are a variety of rewards for you that correspond to different levels of donation. Importantly, Kickstarter is set up so that nobody pays anything until the project’s funding goal is 100% reached. Our goal for Recontradoble is to raise $7000 in 58 days, from March 9th until May 6th, and we greatly appreciate any and all contributions that you can make.

Thanks and love to all of you,

Pablo Ablanedo

PS, for those who want to know a bit more about Kickstarter-

Kickstarter.com, founded in April 2009, has quickly earned the right to call itself “the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects.” The website allows artists and innovators to reach out to potential backers all over the world. Backers get something in return through a system of pledges and rewards, and Kickstarter’s merchant partnership with Amazon.com makes it easy to pledge from anywhere in the world.

Kickstarter’s “all or nothing” funding policy is one of the reasons we chose the site for this project. Each project sets a fundraising goal and a concrete window of time, and if the projected amount of money has not been raised by the end of that period, nobody pays anything. Kickstarter’s website explains the logic behind this policy succinctly: “it protects everyone involved.”
