Volume 2 of Shaking Through just wrapped up with the Snowmine episode breaking all sorts of records for us.  Only a week after its release, the video already has over 27,000 views!  The episodes from the past year are some of the best yet and now we’re looking to try new things and keep getting better for 2012.  This is where Kickstarter comes in.  Each one of these episodes is a lot of work, more than you might imagine.  There’s a large crew of people that contribute to each episode, from camera operators, sound guys, editors to engineers (me!).  Even with as much time and love everyone puts in to each of these episodes, this fundraiser will help make sure that we can continue to get even better at telling and sharing these stories.

With each episode, there’s a technical profile that showcases the production side of the song and how we got things to sound like they do, like this one from Family Band:

Along with that are all of the raw unmixed tracks with a detailed track sheet and mix stems for each song, which can be found here.  One of the new reward levels of the Kickstarter is spending 4 hours with me at Miner Street to deconstruct and remix a Shaking Through song of your choice.  Link!  I’ll help you go through the tracks and make a mix of your own using all of the high end analog gear at the studio.  It’s like a date with me, only because it’s probably where I’d end up taking you anyway.
