Nicholas Szczepanik - Ante Algo Azul
« on: January 14, 2011, 09:46:09 pm »


Ante Algo Azul consists of 12 pieces; each will be released on a 3" CDr limited to 100 copies. The set will be sold as a subscription and each piece will be mailed individually, as it is finished. Each piece will be handwrapped in paper and, at times, a piece may also include other keepsakes like photographs, poetry, etc...

I will primarily be selling this as a subscription, but perhaps I will sell individual copies without the extra fun stuff; I'm not sure yet. If you have any questions, please email me at naszczepanik@gmail.com. Your support is greatly appreciated.

More information including a stream of one of the 12 pieces can be found below:

I've now integrated quarterly payment options of $31.25 if you're in the USA and $37.50 if you live somewhere else.  I hope this helps the people (like me) who wouldn't be able to afford a cost like this upfront.  Please check this page for more details:

All I have left to do is print the unique download code tickets, hand-number the envelopes, and seal them with a thumbprint. They will be mailed out in the next few days. Subscriptions are still available. Thank you for your support, my friends.

The first piece of the Ante Algo Azul series, "Not Knowing (for Eliane Radigue)", is 100% finished.  An original photograph, 3" disc of the piece, and a unique download code for a FLAC or 320kbps MP3 version of the piece is included inside of the hand-numbered and signed envelope.

Subscribers orders will go out first thing Monday morning.

Thank you.

Nicholas, those are really stunning.  This lack of money thing might not stop me from subscribing.  Seems too good to pass up...

“An Underside”, the second piece in the Ante Algo Azul subscription series is complete.  Elim worked diligently designing the package for this one and it’s going to be hard to beat for the other 10 pieces we have left to finish.  (Heck, it even smells good!)  My sister, Darlyn, also took the opportunity to write a vivid poem in response to the piece, expressing how one may feel when listening, and we decided to include it in the package.  Please be sure to leave a comment when your copy arrives or post photos on your various social networking homes as I’d love to see them!

Until quite soon,

Nicholas
