We’re always amazed at the different ways people use Give and this one is no different. Sarah Wallin Huff is crowdfunding the recording of her original music — a 25 minute concerto.
About the Cause
“Leviathan of the Ancient Deep” is a three-movement, 25-minute concerto for 6-string electric violin, EWI, Synth, and orchestra. Written in 2008 and not premiered live until 2016, it is indeed a monster of a work:
“…it’s a fantastic piece – imaginative, engaging, and pretty wild” (Sam Renshaw)
Collaborating with PARMA Recordings and the Moravian Philharmonic of the Czech Republic, The Leviathan Project is working to create a definitive recording of this challenging, cinematic work so that its dramatic sonic experience can be shared widely with others.
Campaign Goal: $45,000

How Sarah Used Give
“I knew that raising funds for the Ultimate Leviathan Recording project would take a lot of time and ingenuity. After too many failed attempts at using way too many of the crowdfunding sites that are already out there, I decided that I needed to approach this project in a brand new way. I needed to have my own site to house the project, where I could streamline the donation process for patrons as well as use widgets, menus, and blog posts to provide more info should a visitor wish to see more. I wanted a clean and welcoming place where my visitors wouldn’t be inundated with too much info all at once and could be free to explore the project details at their own pace. I wanted a place all my own, where the link wouldn’t expire after 30 days and where I could easily update information as this enormous project unfolds.
“I’d seen Give’s table at many WordCamps in the past, and, as I hit my final rut in this fundraising season, I was ready to explore what Give has to offer. I set up a test site, found a theme I loved, and, after about a week of tinkering, I came out with something I just love! iSupportNewMusic.com is a site that I plan to keep on using for future projects; perhaps I’ll be able to expand it in the future, to help other fellow artists reach their funding goals as well.”
