[Krafft, John M.]

If you were thinking about contributing but then just didn't get
around to it and maybe even forgot, it isn't too late.

Dear supporters

A year ago, we started to solicit support for recording an album with
songs by Thomas Pynchon. The album isn't ready yet, but this is a good
time to say THANK YOU for your amazing support!!!

A number of tunes are almost done, others still need to be recorded.
While Tyler Burba is busy with the music, Christian Hänggi is working
on the liner notes, and Tyler Wilson on the cover art. Christian even
started to write a big band arrangement, his first, of "Full Moon in
Pisces" which will be performed by the Lakeside Bigband in May.

We expect to have 14 tunes on the album, and as a preview, we are
happy to share with you a total of six at this point! Please note that
some of them are demo versions, others have been mixed, none have been
mastered. You can download the entire package as a [ZIP
file](https://www.haenggi.com/pynchon-album/thank-you.zip) (approx.
38MB). Alternatively, you can click on the links below for the single

project's website

We're still about 1500 Swiss francs or US dollars short of our goal,
so if you know of anyone who has just won the lottery, this is the
time to go knock on their door!

Again, thank you so much for helping with this project, have a great
New Year's Eve and a wonderful 2019!

Best of wishes,

Christian and Tyler
