<p><strong>Creators and origins of the project - a transatlantic collaboration!</strong></p>
<p>The INSIDE SEA project was initiated after <strong>Harry Szpilmann </strong>/ BEWATER met <strong>Stéphane Vandezande </strong>/ WHISPERED via a group of ambient musicians on facebook. Very soon they started to collaborate, exchanging sounds and compositions.</p>
<p>The album took shape through a series of successive ping-pongs. Harry, in Mexico, created sounds, arranged them, and prepared the different tracks of the songs. Stéphane, in Belgium, mixed them and gave the tracks their final form.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The project in details</strong></p>
<p>INSIDE SEA is now ready and is back from the mastering studio. It is HAFOD MASTERING studio in Wales, which put the last layer of varnish on the work. HM engineer, Donal Whelan, is gifted with golden ears, and the studio operates with magnetic tapes that give the sound a particularly warm touch.</p>
<p>For the record, it was after hearing the results of the masters, and their remarkable quality, that we were convinced to press a CD version of the album.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>THIS IS WHERE THE CROWDFUNDING COMES IN -</em> If the mastering could be done with our own funds, <strong>for the pressing of the CD, we need a helping hand!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><br />
<strong>The counterparts and the role of the contributors</strong><br />
By buying your copy of the album in advance, you will help finance its pressing.</p>
<p><strong>Some figures</strong><br />
To allow the pressing of the CD by REVERBERATION, a French firm specialized in working with independent labels, and to be able to press 100 copies of the CD we need to raise <strong>350 €</strong>.<br />
To this we add <strong>100€ </strong>to pay the mechanical reproduction rights and the KKBB commission.</p>
