I appreciate you taking the time to read the feedback. Under my psuedonym, I do all work as open source and free. Last year, I released an album for a hacker friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Sassaman at http://sirvaliance.bandcamp.com/album/a-waltz-for-len about a year ago. The demo is free, and I hope to release the result of this for free.

The truth is, I don't care about the money. I just care about it enough so that I can execute what I planned.

I don't think you are being mean at all, just as practical, rational, and reasonable about it as I am trying to be. I don't want to cut corners, just have the resources to execute how I envisioned.

I get that Kickstarter is not there to build a fan base, but where does someone with as limited resources as me find a way to make the music I planned and find an audience. I cannot figure out how to do one without the other.

Start saving up. Maybe it means a second job. Maybe it means no going out.

It's like when you're a kid and you get a job to buy a car. To offset college loans.

I read the listing and it sounds like you have almost nothing. You mention broken strings and then I think this is someone who doesn't love his instruments.

Or you've fallen on hard times. But if that's the case I'm not sure that's the best time to start an experimental album.

I don't know. Hopefully someone will see this and have an idea. The ones I know do something on YouTube, but given that you'd like to stay anonymous ... I suppose you could show static images instead (the art shown?).

But if you don't have the tools ...
