What is this project all about?
Fraser Gartshore's Organ Works - my new music production - OUR new music production! You commission the works - the recording will once again feature a mix of classical and jazz styled compositions for organ - commissioned by you! From a bombastic boogie or tectonic toccata to a sensational swing or peaceful passacaglia - 10 pieces will be composed and performed according to your wishes!
The recordings will take place on different organs - thanks to the power of Hauptwerk - a MIDI solution for organs and organists - it is possible to play and record different instruments from the comfort of my new 4-manual MIDI console at home - from a small Austrian Baroque organ to a huge French Cathedral Organ!
The recordings will be made live before being sent to a professional studio to be mixed and mastered for CD as well as for streaming services in higher quality. The CDs will be produced in Germany. Sheet Music books will be edited, printed and bound by a professional publisher, again here in Germany.
CDs and music books will be shipped internationally at no extra cost.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The goal of this project is to record and produce CDs as well as digital masters for streaming together with sheet music books of compositions of organ music commissioned by you.
Why would you support this project?
Supporting this project also helps us promote the organ world and its music, with the intention of reaching a wider international audience.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
Funds from this campaign will be used exclusively to produce "Fraser Gartshore's Organ Works", a CD, Digital Streaming and Music Book project featuring works commissioned by StartNext supporters. Costs include recording/mixing/mastering fees for a professional studio as well as fees for printing and publishing music books. Other costs: copyright/editing/notation/performing rights etc.
Who are the people behind the project?
Fraser Gartshore - Organist and YouTuber - promotes the world of organs and organ music to an international audience.
