Bonjour,
Over the past 3 years, I've seen and had amazing experiences on my tours across US and Canada in my old beat up Subaru. I've written many new songs (mostly in French), and now I'm going back into the studio to share them with you!
Please find above one of these new songs "Tandem" (love is like riding a bicycle)
To be able to get a new quality sounding album in Portland, Oregon, is a costly process to finance it. Paying for things like Studio time, the producer, hiring talented musicians, paying for mastering, art work and the duplication of CDs...it all adds up: (and then some)
My goal of fan participation is to help fund Studio Recording time and the additional musicians on the album. If fan participation reaches over the 100% goal, the additional funds will help to pay for mixing, mastering and the duplication of the CDs.
If you have any questions, please do contact me at:
eric@ericjohnkaiser.com
Thanks for your incredible support,
Eric John Kaiser

Hello,
Après trois années de tournées aux USA et au Canada, il est temps pour moi de commencer à enregistrer un nouvel album. Etre sur la route m'inspire toujours et c'est un bonheur de pouvoir mettre en chanson, et de partager avec vous, tous ces précieux moments passés à Portland, à la Nouvelle Orléans, en Californie ou à New York.
Ci-dessous une présentation en vidéo d'une de ces nouvelles chansons "Tandem" (l'amour c'est une peu comme faire du vélo, finalement).
Je cherche à collecter de l'argent pour financer ce nouveau projet. Cet argent servira principalement à enregistrer un album de qualité ici à Portland dans l'Oregon et à financer les heures de studio et le paiement de musiciens (retrouvez le budget prévisionnel ci-dessous).
En échange de votre générosité et de votre soutien vous pouvez recevoir différentes contreparties qui sont toutes listées sur cette page (recevez par exemple chez vous un CD dédicacé avant qu'il ne soit disponible dans le commerce, une clé USB avec toute ma musique, etc...).
Vous pouvez voir une présentation video générale du projet sur:
http://youtu.be/8-hVMCg9mz0
Rockethub n'est pas un site d'investissements ou de charité. Il fonctionne sur un système d'échange. De l'argent collecté en échange de contreparties.
Si je dépasse cet objectif fiancier, cela me servira à financer le mixage, le mastering et le pressage de ce nouveau CD.
Si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas à me contacter sur:
eric@ericjohnkaiser.com
Merci encore de tout coeur pour votre soutien,
Eric John Kaiser
>>BUDGET:
- 10 jours de Studio: $3000
- Paiement des musiciens:$2000
- Mixage de l'album: $1000
- Mastering de l'album: $400
