Hi there! my names Claire thank you so much for clicking on this go fund me link
I’m making an album! Actually I’ve been making an album since September 2020.I used to think that this album would just magically finish itself in due time and with enough patience and love it would all come together. I realize now however that I need some extra help financially to realize this dream of mine.
I’m incredibly passionate about finishing this project so that I can share all of these songs with everyone I know and also everyone I don’t know.
This album of music saved me in so many ways for so many reasons. 2020 was a very dark and confusing time for me, I constantly felt the floor falling out from underneath me. I couldn’t find my balance, and the days felt like a tumbling headfirst into uncertainty. The songs I wrote then felt like lifelines, they gave me a sense of meaning in a world that felt like it was about to collapse at any moment. But the songs weren’t collapsing, they were growing in me, they are the best parts of me, they gave me a sense of security. Like there was a reason for the pain and there was a greater picture somewhere within me.
Now two years later I still love these songs and I want to share them with my friends and with the world and make this all real. I want to capture that moment in time. I would be so grateful for any support in realizing this vision.
Where I currently stand the album is about 1/2 way done. I’ve been super lucky to be working with Hadden Stemp who is a brilliant producer in MA and we have been working for the last two years demoing and recording these songs. Hadden cares about the intent of the song, he strives to make the music serve the message. He is methodical and present and intentional about every part of the production and I trust his judgment almost like he’s an extension of myself in a way.
Amelia Gormley has also been a vital part of this and (truly is an extension of myself) she has been playing bass and adding harmonies and workshopping songs with me this whole time.
the cost of the album includes recording time in studio spaces, compensating the musicians who are working on this project with me, mastering and engineering fees, as well as travel expenses. I intend to release this spring of 2023.
Thank you so much for reading this far and thank you so much for donating any amount and/or sharing this ❤️ It truly means the world to me.
