Kickstarter campaign! Kindly support the upcoming release of our "Asterismyth" album!!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our support campaign on Kickstarter to fund the release of our upcoming album, "Asterismyth - Music about the Constellations and Mythical Figures." This is an exciting opportunity for you to pre-purchase the album and be among the first to experience our latest work.

Through the campaign, you can secure a CD copy at the regular price of €10, or opt for the digital album at an exclusive campaign price of just €1. This special offer is available only while the campaign is live. Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings us closer to our goal, and we sincerely thank you in advance for your generosity.

The campaign will run until Friday, September 20th. It’s important to note that we must reach our full funding goal for the campaign to be successful; only then will we receive the necessary funds to produce the CDs and cover essential costs, such as graphic design and other expenses.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to having you among the first to hold our CDs in your hands and hope to see you at our upcoming concerts!
