Campaign closes in:
The short story:
My mission is to create music that inspires and moves you. 'New Moon' was written with that intention in mind. In order to record & release 'New Moon' as a single, I'm boldly asking you to do the following three things:
1. Please know that you're awesome for supporting independent music
3. Please spread the word by sharing this campaign on social media
Who am I?
I'm a songwriter & performer living off-grid in a magical part of New Zealand called Raglan. I love adding a dash of whimsy into my music, and I'm deeply inspired by fantasy, ancient folklore, and the old traditions of the Celtic and the Norse. I manage to weave all that into real-life stories through my music, and I absolutely love that I get to do this.
Why am I crowdfunding / why am I doing this?
Firstly, I'm doing this because I deeply love making music and I can't imagine a life without it. Being an independent artist offers amazing freedom, but the flip-side is that without a label's financial backing it can be extremely difficult to fund new projects. In essence, I'm asking you to become like my label and partner with me to make new music. Sounds like fun, right?
Sounds good, what's the plan?
I've brought the 'Calling Your Name' and Purity of Weakness production dream team back together (Scott Newth, Andrew Newth), as well as some amazing instrumentalists to deliver the depth, beauty, and drama that we all crave in our music. This is going to be epic! I will release 'New Moon' early in 2020, ahead of the debut album that is in the making (more on that later, one thing at a time!)
What is special about this song?
'New Moon' is a call to awaken the ancient wisdom within. It's tuned to a healing frequency (432Hz) and is a reminder of our connection to each other and the universe. Not exactly the message on which corners should be cut, right? So that brings us to...
How much money am I raising?
I'm raising $4,500 and this will cover studio / production costs, mastering, cover artwork, a beautiful lyric video, exclusive merchandise, and some promotion. If I raise more, the extra funds will go straight to into the album.
Pie charts are fancy:
What do I get when I contribute?
The 'New Moon' collection will only be available during this campaign, so everything is exclusive and very limited edition! Scroll down to see what's on offer! And if you don't see what you're looking for, the rest of the store is still open so you're bound to find something!
A final word of thanks...
Thank you tremendously for being here with an open heart and a generous spirit. You are the reason that independent art still exists, and that makes you a bit of a hero. I am truly grateful for your support. 💜
Parabola West has an amazing ability to combine music and story telling into a beautiful mosaic of magic. BRAVO ! Can you stop for a moment and take a look behind the thinly vailed wisdom of her stories? Born out of the trials of life, the gifts of love and the experiment of music, she weaves us into a space of discovery and self exploration. Her newly created magical world in Hobbit land tells us her special talents are bringing to the world an expanding vision of no limits on who we can be. Take a minute to check out her new TATTOOS Tee shirts. Great colors. Share a bit of her vision with friends. 💜
Join us on a magical journey through the veil of an enchanted mist. Into the stone circle of emotions. Guided by the beautiful Queen of the Fey herself and her wonderful music.
Let yourself be swept away by the songs, the fairies and the magic of it all.
But beware! Time flies in the land of the Fey.
I recently got my hands on Parabola West’s latest offering, Tattoos, and what a treasure trove it is! The bundle includes MP3s, WAVs, stunning artwork, and, of course, the beautiful, thought-provoking songs I’ve come to expect from this talented artist.
The Song
Tattoos is an enchanting exploration of the contrast between the personas we present to the world and the hidden layers of our true selves. With its poignant lyrics, Parabola West paints a vivid picture of an "internal gallery", a private collection of scars, memories, and secrets we guard carefully. The honesty in this song is captivating, and the metaphor of "tattoos on the inside" will stay with you long after the music ends.
The Music
Parabola West’s ethereal voice floats effortlessly above the finely crafted production by Scott Newth and Andrew Newth. The haunting melodies and layered instrumentation create an immersive soundscape, and Chris Chetland’s mastering ensures every note resonates perfectly.
The Experience
The accompanying artwork by Deone Herman is the perfect visual complement to the music. It’s rare to see such cohesion between sound and imagery. This isn’t just an album, it’s an experience.
Tattoos is raw, moving, and beautifully vulnerable. I highly recommend adding it to your playlist if you haven't already.
Parabola West has once again proven why she’s a standout artist in the indie music scene. Bravo!
