Hello everyone from the NEAR community, I hope you all are well! 
I come here to give an update after this period managing the situation with the sound technician.
As mentioned before, there were some problems with the recording process, due to some unforeseen circumstances with some of the musicians. Some of the necessary elements for the recording of the EP weren’t successfully recorded within the time allocated, such as voices and percussions, thus, making it impossible for the process to be finished as planned before.
After analysing with the sound technician and producer the material we have recorded, we realised most of the elements on the record can actually be used, leaving us with new percussions to do, and voices.
After considering the situation with friends from Garden Collective and trying to find a way to actually conclude the project, I would like to propose a new budget and request a funding for the last part of the EP to be finalised. To do so, it will be necessary to go back to the same recording studio in which the process was started, to record voices and a few other missing elements, and hire a percussionist for the songs that aren’t finished.
Below you can see the cost breakdown:
-
Session of two days at Estudios La Puerta Falsa (Extremadura, Spain): 155$
-
Both ways travel to Extremadura, from Sevilla (Spain), for two people: 60$ (30 dollars per person)
-
Percussionist for the recording of two tracks: 100$
-
Total: 315$
I would like once more to thank all the support and trust from the NEAR community and Garden Collective, who have been very and actively helpful throughout the whole process, making sure things are done and doing the best to make it happen.
Thank you!
