I had the distinct pleasure of playing flutes on an album called Green Rider this year. The album is a “book soundtrack” composed by Kristina A. Bishoff to accompany the book of the same name, authored by Kristen Britain.
On her Kickstarter page, Kristina describes the album as “a musical adventure meant to enhance the magic of the story. The journey shouldn't have to end when you turn the last page!” At a time when many find it difficult to make a living in the music industry, it makes me happy to see this kind of innovation.
Composers and performers continue to look for new income streams and work hard to make money while doing what they love! I’m grateful for the opportunity to make a small contribution to projects such as this!
