Friends,
I hmmd and hawwwed over whether to do a crowd-sourcing campaign with this new project. What if this wasn’t good timing? Would Betony and I come across as needy, desperate or self-important or any of the other dangers of posting work through social media? Is Facebook swimming in too much political-fatigue to post about art & music right now?
It’s a vulnerable thing to offer something you’re creating to the world and ask “Would you purchase this? Is it of value to you?” Bet and I have found great value in the making of the art, for sure. To then offer it to others is still such a risk.
All this to say, we are so honored today. I’m so glad we decided to share Bellwether with you through a Kickstarter! Now, rather than releasing the project (next month) deep in the red with our fingers crossed, we’ll be able to relax and unroll the work without anxiety. Thank you.
We will be continuing to share the campaign over the next 16 days. We’ll be thinking through some “stretch goals” (who would like to see us do a podcast?) and keep letting folks into the art & music we have to offer. We’re confident you all will love it.
If you haven’t had a chance to look at all the pre-sales from Bellwether we’ve released, here’s the LINK.
Thanks again. You’re support has been tremendous,
Tim & Betony Coons
