Peter Muller’s new project “No Mind”

 

Peter Muller is currently in the studio to work on his new CD “No Mind”. You can support the progress of the production by joining his Indiegogo campaign here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/.

Peter comments: “It’s not about making a donation without any output, you get something in return! And this is my new album “No Mind”, which will be released in early 2014.

You can preorder it in any form (download or physical CD) and you can also purchase some interesting perks.

As I run my own studio, I do not have to hire an audio engineer or a location for recording, which is a big advantage, but there are other costs I can’t avoid like paying out the awesome musicians, covering travel costs, artwork, photo shooting, printing of CD’s, marketing etc…

Your preorders will be used to organize all this and help me to continue the production process without too many interruptions. I will give all supporters a personal monthly update by e-mail about the progress of the production.

Thank you very much for your support!! And please spread the word about my Indiegogo campaign.”

Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole

 

You can’t put together a record like this without putting your heart into it. I felt every moment of it. I got that from Nat King Cole, he put his heart into everything he did. I’m excited for you to hear this album. You can preview the entire album here and also check out the special deals that we have put together for you.

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I have making it.

Thank you for your support,
