Bedlam & Eunoia Album Preorder & Fundraiser

We are excited to record our first album in late August/ early September!

We are taking presale orders for our album to help pay for the mastering process (the final step in audio production before a release!) I estimate the total cost of the project to be around $2,500+, and we have already booked $1,300 of studio time for recording/mixing. We will have further costs related to digital distribution.

Donate:

$10 and receive a high-quality (lossless) audio download of the album!

$100 to receive a personal thank you in the album notes!

$300 to have a composition written for you!

$500 for a personal house concert! (within the ME/ NH area... contact me to coordinate if further!)

Bedlam & Eunoia:

Genre-bending jazz mixed with world music, odd meters, classical, and film score influence. Ranging from the tender to the fervorous. Intimate, emotional music.

Formed in April 2017, the group draws on Michael Beling’s unique compositional style, jazz training, and ability to play pedal bass and piano simultaneously, paired with Eric LaPerna’s extensive knowledge of Middle Eastern percussion, and Barry Saunder’s serious jazz and classical experience on clarinet and saxophone. The musicians demonstrate a highly symbiotic and sensitive rapport, and their history and ease of playing together is readily apparent.
