Hello Boise Musicians Discussion Group -
First of all, check out the performance line-up for the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF). We have some amazingly talented and creative musicians performing at the event, which will allow this festival to feature a type of music that is rarely ever heard or promoted locally. The sounds that are going to come out of Visual Arts Collective on April 26-28 are going to be out of ths world. At no other time or place in Boise will you be able to see such a focused and professional representation of the creative and avant-garde music arts.
http://www.boisemusicians.com/BEMF-2/ (Local acts include Amy Vecchione, Breccia, Craig Green, Gretchen Jude, Jared Hallock, Patrick Benolkin, and Unicorn Feather).
Second, last month I announced the release of the 2-CD set for the 1st Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival, and I indicated that all proceeds are going directly to support festival performer travel expenses. I have decided to expand this to my entire discography.
Starting now, all of my CD sales will go to supporting musicians for the current and future Boise Experimental Music Festivals (and I'm sure there will be many more for years to come). I decided to this because BEMF is my most valued music event of the year, and I don't really need to sell CDs for my personal income. So I figured I would just devote sales to better cause and community oriented event.
I have listed all the works in my discography below, with links to the pages that provide more info, links to buy, and sample sound clips.
With 18 out-of-state performers playing at the event, and combined travel expenses being in the range of $10,000, each CD sale can potentially fund 1-3% of a performers travel expenses...not a lot, but every bit counts. This may appear like an indirect form of shameless self-promotion, but the reality is that obtaining financial support for these type of events is no easy task, if not completely excruciating. No doubt, I will personally go in the hole again this year, but my payback is the experience and the ability to meet and play with so many wonderful musicians.
And finally, Tarey P. from Thee Art Of (http://www.theeartof.com/), who is also doing all the video, photography, and background film for the festival, is selling his new CD "NACHSTE OSTARA: Thee Art Of Music Compilation II", at the event and donating proceeds to BEMF as well. More info on that compilation here: http://www.theeartof.com/news.html Tarey and team are already providing an amazing level of support for BEMF, and so this gesture is going above and beyond the normal call of duty!
Cheers,
Kris
