From the Kickstarter page:
George Oldziey is looking for game music fans from around the world to help fund an orchestral recording of music from Wing Commander.
Many of you know me, George Oldziey, as the composer for many historic video games, but probably most notably 3 games from the iconic Wing Commander series. I've been blessed to have very dedicated fans of my music for many years, and I would like to offer them the opportunity to participate in this historic endeavor.
The initial goal of $35,000 is to record a 9 1/2 minute suite of music from Wing Commander 3 and 4 featuring a full 80 piece orchestra and 40 voice choir. The recording will most likely be done in either Prague or Bratislava, both homes to amazing game and film scoring orchestras, some time during the summer of this year. We will also institute a series of stretch goals beyond the initial amount to hopefully record more of my Wing Commander music while we have the musicians at the ready. The video will give you more info about me and this project.
I will update everyone very frequently on the progress of this exciting adventure!

Wing Commander was a big deal back in the day. The music from the Wing Commander games are fantastic, especially the later one's such as The Price of Freedom. A worthy cause that may show Kickstarter as a viable avenue for re-recordings. For the money asking I would have liked if there was more music, however. $35,000 for just under 10 minutes seems like a lot.
