Crowdfunding since 2010

Geschichten, die das Leben schreibt, musikalisch erzählt von der Linzer Band um den Singer/Songwriter und Gitarristen Chris Hillock.

Hillock is telling tales with rocking sounds and grooves. Stories from life as it is, was or could be. And when Chris’ voice is silent, his guitar evolves the stories and performs with virtuosity, what could be read between the lines. Hillock – voices, guitars, bass and drums. Making handcrafted music, between the inspirations of Mark Knopfler, Chet Atkins and some Scottish drinks.

What is this project all about?

It took almost ten years until the formation of the band was set. Many of the songs already existed in Chris' head or on some slips of paper. It was until the initiative of Julia that Chris was convinced intotrying some of his songs and starting the first rehearsals. And luck has been on our side that Peter and Peter have had some spare time to join in. By a fluke Roland appeared on our stage.

And here we are. Having played our first gigs and more songs in our pockets than trees in a forest we want the world to be able to listen to our music. So we're going to record an album. That's what it's all about!

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Aims. The aims are obvious: We want to record our songs. And we don't want to do that with some smartphone, but in a professional recording studio.

Why. Because people like our songs and have asked us more than once, where they can buy CDs or download our music. And because the songs and the lyrics are worth it - especially the lyrics - to be heard. Our secret ingredient is the fusion of vocals and guiar.

How. We don't have a record in poor quality. We want the really good stuff. We want to have our songs recorded in a way, they can even be played on radio stations.

Target audience. We want to make an album for all those many people out there who want to listen to music with rough edges, to handcrafted music.

Why would you support this project?

  • Support this project, when you like good music. When you love catchy tunes and lyrics that come from the heart.
  • Support us, when quality comes first, when you want to relax from our stressy times and when you can take your time for beautiful music.
  • Support local musicians, when you want to promote people that are thinking of music as a handicraft. And support us when you know, what costs are involved with a professional album production.
  • And of course you can support us, when you want to buy some of the really cool rewards (CD, guitar lessons with Julia or Chris, concerts, ...).

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

All of the money donated will be used for the production of the album Coming Home. The recording sessions, mastering, manufacturing of the CDs and design of the booklet. And of course for the distribution of the rewards ;)

Who are the people behind the project?

HILLOCK is not only the band's name but also the meaning of Christopher's surname. And although the songs are written by Christopher, all members of the band are supporting the project in their own way.
