King's Chill Vol 2 - Vinyl remix album crowdfunding campaign
Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2021 10:49 am
So, many months ago four of us in the SQ community got together and remixed some King's Quest themes in a chill-out electronic musical style and called it King's Chill Vol 1 - Vibin' Makes the Soul Go Higher. It's available for free digitally on Bandcamp. We also held a Qrates crowdfunding campaign to get it onto vinyl record which was quite successful with over 200 preorders. These just recently finally shipped over the past couple months. We even sent LGR (LazyGameReviews on YouTube) one and he quite enjoyed it!
We've now created a second volume with a few more artists involved called "King's Chill Vol 2 - To Chill is Human, To Vibe is Divine" and are doing another Qrates crowdfunding campaign for a vinyl record.Qrates works like Kickstarter where there is a minimum set number of preorders required (in this case 200) and if that mark isn't met it doesn't get funded and doesn't get produced. But it can go over the limit. It just needs at least 200 preorders. The funds go solely towards production of the vinyl records and any extra profits Troels is donating to charity. Troels (the Space Quest Historian) has done quite a few of these campaigns now for Space Quest reorchestration soundtracks and they've all been universally successful and Qrates has been great. Over the course of this year production slowed down because of a worldwide vinyl shortage (out of Qrates' control), but in a few months they start shipping usually after the campaign process has been completed.
Anywho, you can preview the working tracks on the campaign page right now. As with Vol 1, the digital album will be free on Bandcamp very soon (it's not quite finished, in fact the artwork is not quite finalized yet) but if you're into vinyl and video game remixes consider giving it a preorder so you can have these sweet chillaxin tunes playing back on your turntable while you vibe on the couch
. Check it out and preorder at this link! The campaign runs until Dec 10th.https://qrates.com/projects/25263-king-s-chill-vol-2
