Ralph Lavital & Laurent Coq - BWA

<p><strong>At this moment, the album has been recorded, mixed and mastered</strong>, which means there are only a few steps left before it sees the light (and your player). To complete the final round, <strong>they need your help </strong>!</p> <p>With the advent of s<strong>treaming platforms</strong> and the new listening habits that have developed from them, modes of producing music have had to adapt quickly, particulary for music genres&mdash; like Jazz &mdash; that do not get a lot of coverage by mainstream media. Many labels have had to stop their activities, requiring musicians to find <strong>new ways to finance their projects</strong>. Using crowdfunding as a way to pursue their journey, Ralph and Laurent hope to <strong>gather a community of progressive and forward thinking music fans</strong> who are drawn to the idea of having a direct connection to the artists. This is what this campaign is all about.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Your donations will pay for ;</p> <p>-&nbsp; <strong>SDRM</strong> (composer and editor copyrights) : 1000 &euro;</p> <p>- Those who contribute to the cover design ; <strong>graphic designer and photographer</strong> : 900 &euro;</p> <p>- <strong>manufacturing the album</strong> (1000 CDs) : 1200 &euro;</p> <p>- a <strong>plublicist</strong> that will work at promoting this music : 1500 &euro;</p> <p>- <strong>postal fees</strong> for all the CDs shipping to our backers : 500 &euro;</p> <p>- <strong>KissKissBankBank comissions</strong> (7%): 400 &euro;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>All the funds </strong>collected by Ralph and Laurent with this campaign will go 100% to BWA&#39;s project (excepted for KissKissBankBank commisions).</p> <p><strong>WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF.</strong>... we get more than 5 800,00 euros at the end of this campaign ? Then we will have <strong>more means to better promote this music</strong> and make it more visible/audible. An ensemble of rewards will allow you to help us achieve our goal <strong>according to your budget</strong>, from advance download of the music to a private concert of Laurent Coq duo with guitarist Ralph Lavital, or different packages of CDs pairing BWA with Laurent&rsquo;s or Ralph&#39;s past albums.</p> <p><strong>In advance, we sincerely thank you for your interest and most of all, for your support.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/548443/Laurent-1539533934.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p style="text-align:right"><em>&quot;Deeply personal and original.
