"FingerPainting: Fully Expanded" - All 10 Shows - Every Note We've Ever Played! (pre-order)
To date, Daniel and I have played 10 shows together. What's more, those 10 shows are the ONLY times we've ever played together. We've never jammed, never rehearsed, never been in a studio together, never sat down to work out songs, never done covers gigs... nothing but the notes that are on this recording.
2 of the shows are from January 2012, the other 8 are from January 2013, and also feature Artemis on vocals on one or two tunes per show.
So this is every last thing we've played together. All of it. In one 11ish hour journey.
And it's quite a journey. This is without doubt my favourite music I've ever been involved in. And it's remarkably varied. No one idea is ever slavishly redone at a later gig. There are chord progressions that are similar, but every gig was new, every audience and space inspired a different kind of music. And it's all here.
So you'll get all 10 shows, on a USB Stick, and 20 postcards, two for each gig/album, with the artwork/tracklist and some thoughts on the gig...

"FingerPainting: Fully Expanded, Impatient Edition" - 10 show USB Stick + Dropbox Access (pre-order)
This is the same USB Stick as above, BUT you'll also have access to the dropbox folder into which the daily edits/masters will go. So you'll see the mixing process evolve and get to hear the music as it comes out of my studio, still warm.
You'll also get a Bandcamp download code for each album as it is finished. So you'll have the finished product before the USB Stick ships.
And when the USB Stick is sent, you'll get the 20 postcards with it, featuring album artwork, tracklist and notes about each of the shows.

about
Recorded in Altadena, California on January 25th 2013, this is the first show from Steve and Daniel's 8-show January 2013 tour. This is all the duo and trio music from the gig.
Also available is the pre-order of a USB Stick that contains EVERYTHING Steve and Daniel have ever played - 10 shows complete (2 from 2012, 8 from 2013). They've never played together off-stage, so this is pretty much every note they've ever played together.
There's also the pre-order of a double CD set of the 'best of the tour', as well as the option to get that along with the download of every concert...
The mixing/mastering of 8 of the shows is still to be done, hence the pre-order. It's going to take, conservatively, about 200 hours of work, not including promo/artwork/upload/cd pressing/USB stick duplication.
The pre-order helps pay for all that time. We'll finish the project whatever happens, we'd just like to do it without becoming homeless in the process...

- Track Name: FingerPainting

This is the first preview track from the album Fingerpainting. It's from the first concert from the January tour that Daniel and I did in California. The rest of this album will be that concert in its entirety (minus the two solo tunes for now) - 4 duo pieces and 3 trios featuring Artemis on vocals.
When this album comes out - within the next couple of weeks - it'll also come with a range of pre-order options for further music, including
° A two CD 'best of' from the tour,
° A 3 CD set featuring the best of alongside 'Accidentally (On Purpose)' - our first live album together.
° A USB Stick containing all 10 shows that Daniel and I have played together (two from January 2012, and 8 from this january)
° The USB Stick, along with access to the dropbox where the nightly mixes of the album are being uploaded (along with download codes for each gig/album as it's finished) - the USB Stick won't be available til at least late-June/early-July, so this will give you v. early access.
° An 'co-executive producer' level that will give you all the above options, plus both of our back catalogs (all in around 50 HOURS of music!) and a listing on the CDs as co-exec. producer. As well as a MASSIVE amount of gratitude from both of us :)
Full details of each of these will be on the site when the album goes live.
