<p>
Both songs <strong>Made up</strong> and <strong>Lucky Number</strong> always generated great interest in concert, so i wish to release a music video for each of these songs.</p>
<p>
And Unknown Beauty, would maybe do a great film music, so we'd better leave it open for that...</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This is why i finally decided to do this crowdfunding, in order to advance faster :)</p>
<p>
I am simply proposing you either the pre-order of the ep, either a private concert.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I will be please to welcome you in my home with my grand piano or to come and play a real home concert for you and your friends :) in that case i would bring my piano and my sound system!</p>
<p>
You wouldn't have to bother about the technical aspects.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I am sorry if things waited too long, it is because i was and i am waiting for a good record deal...</p>
<p>
I want to build a strong and good team, with honest people.</p>
<p>
But in the meantime, i can't wait to release these songs that has been on my heart for too long.</p>
<p>

<p>
After financing the recording and the live video in the great <strong>Dada Studio </strong>out of my pocket this winter.</p>
<p>
Now i do this crowdfunding to finance <strong>the artwork, the pressing of the physical CD and the promotion</strong>.</p>
<p>
So we're almost there!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In case we reach more than 100 % the rest of the money will go for the <strong>music videos</strong> that has to be done for <strong>Made up</strong> and <strong>Lucky Number.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The collected money will serve for :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
BUDGET :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
- Recording, mixing : 3000</p>
<p>
- Studio expanses : 1000</p>
<p>
- Mastering : 500</p>
<p>
- Promotion cd : 500</p>
<p>
- Pressing of the physical cd and pressing rights : 3000</p>
<p>
( + eventually: 1500 for each music video if we reach out 200 % )</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
So the goal is to do international promotion, the more budget i'll get, the more countries we'd reach for promotion...</p>
<p>
And of course, next year we'll settle a european tour!</p>
<p>
I can't wait to see you at the shows with the cd in hands :)</p>
<p>
Cheers!</p>
<p>
Mathilde</p>
