17 Hours Left! Kickstarter, Crowdfunding, and Opera

As many of my music fans know, I have been working on an animated electronic opera for over two years. The end results is an exciting animated feature that stars talented musicians throughout the United States who volunteered (yes volunteered) their amazing musical talents for this insane sci-fi musical dream I had three years ago.


Music production has come to a close, and TV/Film composer Patrick Rundbladh at P & R Music Productions is mastering the final Libertaria Cast Album. Up to this point, the opera has been produced entirely online, with cast and crew volunteering their work in music and animation, and the random odd musical job funding the opera production. 


We have 17 hours left for the Libertaria Opera Kickstarter Campaign! For $1 opera fans will receive an Early Bird full Libertaria Cast Album download. For a $2 pledge, opera fans have Associate Producer credit in the film, and get both the film and the album, plus all kinds of extras. There are all types of exciting rewards, like autographed DVDs, handwritten sheet music, and a handmade Libertaria Uggy doll (and boy, is it UGGY!). 

When I created Libertaria I wanted to make an opera that would exist outside of the concert hall. I wanted to make an opera that could be shared instantly and globally online, that reached out to a broader audience, that broke ground as a true 21st century opera. Libertaria is all of that and more. Crowdfunding the cast album seemed a logical step, a 
chance to have fans become a part of the project for a couple of bucks. 

For someone that really wants an authentic piece of Libertaria history, my #1 fan can have the one and only Libertaria sketch book that contains the journaled plot ideas, lyrics, and storyboards for Libertaria. 






We have 17 hours left before the campaign closes. If you love music, technology, sci-fi, or just want to help make a dream a reality, please take a moment to support Libertaria: The Virtual Opera.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date -  Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work.  Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) .   Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action.   Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic stories, but is se
