News : AlithiA make headway with new Pozible campaign

A few days ago, Melbourne’s AlthiA launched their crowdfunding campaign via Pozible as a way to fund their international endeavours, and, specifically, the recording of their forthcoming sophomore album; which first came to life in the written form in March 2015. Never once to merely sit still and record in the confines of their regular lives and home towns, AlithiA first began the process of writing, producing, and recording their albums abroad with their debut album, To the Edge of Time; which they recored in Budapest, Hungary.

Utilising the funds made, the money will be put towards paying for their London based producer, Daniel Sandor (who also worked on the first record), mixing of the album, mastering, promotion and marketing, CDs, music videos, and so on.

As discussed on their Pozible page,

The target we are aiming to raise is only a  fraction of the cost of the whole project. The funds raised from this record will go directly to the studio hire and paying our producer, london based, Daniel Sandor who also recorded and produced our last record ‘To the Edge of Time’. Daniel Sandor is in fact doing this job at a very generous ‘mates rates’ fee as he personally wants to be part of the project and told us he didn’t want the cost to be a barrier. We already have booked and paid for our international flights from money from our day jobs, we will be paying for our own accomodation and living expenses out of pocket. Any additional funds raised from this record will go towards paying for mixing the album, mastering, promotion and marketing, printing CDs, music videos… and the list goes on.

As always, a number of perks are available to those who pledge. At time of posting, the self-labelled astral space core band has accumulated AU $1100 from 22 supporters out of their projected target of AU $10,000. With 33 days left in the crowdfunding campaign, you can pledge how much or as little as you wish through the link below.
