The Portalis : Nouvel album !

<p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>         The project begins with the meeting of <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lionnel.buzac?fref=ts" target="_blank">Lionnel Buzac</a></strong>, lead singer of the band <strong><a href="http://www.somamusic.fr/" target="_blank">Soma</a></strong>, to whom we have entrusted the artistic direction of our next L.P.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="904431_10151774661242395_5664675252866738142_o-1427390291" height="280" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/178519/904431_10151774661242395_5664675252866738142_o-1427390291.jpg" width="352"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>         During <strong>a first residency</strong> <strong>in April 2014</strong>, we have thus escaped a few days away from the world in the south of France <strong>to settle, work, review some parts</strong> alongside Lionnel, and <strong>sat the</strong> <strong>foundations of a new album.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10518702_10151919247527395_5359549212646723885_n-1427390363" height="333" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/178520/10518702_10151919247527395_5359549212646723885_n-1427390363.jpg" width="514"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>       </strong> <strong>The months that followed</strong> allowed us to adjust the songs, work again and again to the fairest interpretation and <strong>make the selection</strong> of the pieces that we really were going <strong>to record</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>         We took in<strong> July</strong> the road to <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/studiolepetitmas?fref=ts" target="_blank">Le Petit Mas</a></strong> studio in Martigues, in which many gold record rewarded artists tapped ; among their regulars, the famous Hip Hop band from Marseilles <strong><a href="http://www.iam.tm.fr/" target="_blank">IAM</a></strong> rewarded in 2015 for the french awards <em><strong><a href="https://youtu.be/fk1gmE25i9w" target="_blank">Victoire De La Musique</a></strong></em>.

Allocation of funds

<p>        </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>        The project started a year ago</strong>, was<strong> funded solely by its members</strong>. And we can say that the investment is both financial and physical!</p> <p> We strongly believe that we are on the right track. Nowadays, due to the nature of the music industry, <strong>music bands are increasingly asked to complete a project on their own, only to be signed after</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p>         The € 4,000 requested does not constitute the entire project cost (estimated at € 15,000), but will be used as follows:  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- € 2,000</strong> will be used to finance the costs of the video team (5-6 people):</p> <p> # <strong>Transport</strong> to the locations (train and car rental)</p> <p> # <strong>Accommodation</strong> and<strong> catering</strong></p> <p> # <strong>Video equipment rental</strong> (HD Cameras, ballasts, lighting, ...)    </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- € 1,000</strong> will be allocated to the <strong>mastering of our album titles.</strong> This is a crucial step before the production and broadcast of music, which requires the intervention of a specialist and does not tolerate any approximations.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>- € 1,000</strong>, which finally allow us to realize the <strong>pressing of CD</strong>.          </p> <p>  </p> <p> If for our delight your generosity comes to exceed our expectations, the additional budget will be used for:  </p> <p> - The creation of our <strong>website</strong></p> <p> - Financing of <strong>communication</strong> around the release of the album (<strong>posters</strong>,<strong> flyers</strong>,<strong> merch</strong>, ...)</p> <p> - Recruiting a <strong>press officer</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>         It is important for us to heal all that surrounds our music, and that's why we call on you to make this project <strong>the event not to be missed next September.</strong></p>
