Composition target in sight for Dobson

Simon Dobson's unique compositional project is getting closer and closer to its target...

Simon Dobson in action
 

Composer Simon Dobson has taken the opportunity to thank the many backers that have pledged support for his ground breaking #Euneirophrenia recording project, which is now two thirds of the way to gaining full financing.

Thanks

He told 4BR: "A huge thank you to all my backers so far! We're not quite past the finish line yet though. Over 100 people have backed my #Euneirophrenia recording project and plans are starting to swing into motion regarding the massive task of bringing this record together!"

10 days to go

He added: "The project is now 67% funded, but with a mere 10 days to go we might be very, very close to reaching the initial target."
