A huge thank you to everyone who have helped this project meet its funding goal in double-quick time!!

As promised, and seeing that we've over 20 days left on this project, it's worth running this modest Stretch Goal to try and turn a 2-hr session into a 4-hr session, and to record two scores instead of just one!! From a logistic (and financial) perspective, the beautiful "Sarah's Laughter" is the most convenient episode to capture on this occasion, as the required players will already be in attendance. A rough demo of one cue from this score can be sampled over at The Goldsmith Odyssey Podcast - https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/10523814?t=0 - (it's very likely that this is the first time the music has been heard since 1960!)

Including this particular score in our recording session will bring the project total to £3600. However, as we've already hit the £3050 point(!), this leaves us just £550 to raise before May 25.

"Add-on" buttons have been activated at each tier and these can be used to select the new "Sarah's Laughter" option; of course, you can simply revise your initial contribution by £3 (or more, if you feel like pushing the project further toward its goal). Kickstarter's way of revising pledges this is somewhat counter-intuitive, so our pal from The Goldsmith Odyssey, W. David Lichty, has created this nifty how to graphic to illustrate the steps you need to take:



Thanks, David; and thank you, everyone, for your continued support!!

Please do take the time to read the text accompanying this "add-on" option, as there are caveats listed for certain scenarios (particularly for those who may have already contributed over, and above, the amounts of their respective reward tiers)

Leigh, not only big thanks for doing this, but really appreciate the clear explanation of how to up my pledge. Which I just did, while consulting your post.

Thanks, W. David Lichty, for the how-to! How can Kickstarter be so counterintuitive? I would have been lost without you!

Thanks for making the effort, everyone! Yes, sorry about that, it's a bloody awful system (we should add certificates of Kickstarter proficiency, as rewards, for this!!)

Some of the best execution of Stretch Goals I've seen is on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary (and subsequent Star Trek: Voyager documentary)... and those were both run on Indiegogo. I imagine if they'd done them on Kickstarter it would have been a nightmare logistically, with how many backers they had and how many perks/tiers/add-ons/stretch goals...

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-star-trek-voyager-documentary#/

Maybe Indiegogo would make more sense for the next round? On the other hand your campaign seems to be doing just great, Leigh!

Reminds me of when my parents took me to the maze at Hampton Court Palace.

Just managed to add Sarah's Laughter to my pledge. Weird how counterintuitive something like this is, considering this seems like basic functionality for Kickstarter.

Thank you very much for undertaking this endeavor to newly record some very obscure Goldsmith music, Leigh. Much appreciated! Can't wait to listen to these. The samples sound really promising.

I thought i had a pledged but I’m wondering whether something went wrong. Could someone check? I definitely want to support this and am happy to support the stretch goal.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for flagging - I checked the backers report, and nothing showing up for Richard May, if this is of any use(?)

I’ve yet to contribute, but do the existing tiers include the second score or do I need to contribute and then add on?

 
 Posted:   May 2, 2022 - 2:04 PM   
 By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member)

All four existing tiers include the add-on of "Sarah's Laughter" for an additional £3, which you can do in the same transaction.

EDIT: I also just confirmed with Leigh that the additional £3 Stretch Goal add-on alone will extend EACH tier's perks to include BOTH scores! That is, if you go for the £50 tier which gets you an Associate Producer credit and a copy of the complete musical score in PDF format... for £53 instead you get copies of BOTH complete scores in PDF format, plus the Associate Producer credit on both! Same goes for the top tier of £100... £100 gets you access to the recording session for "The Bar Mitzvah of Major Orlovsky" but £103 gets you access to the recording session for BOTH "The Bar Mitzvah of Major Orlovsky" AND "Sarah's Laughter"! It's practically Buy One Get One Free at that point...

So those of you who were at Tier 1, you can just straightforwardly double your contribution to basically get twice as much music... or you might want to consider going up to a higher tier if you care about the accompanying perks, because if the "Sarah's Laughter" stretch goal is successful (and it certainly looks like it will be), you are getting a shockingly good bargain (since you don't have to double your giving amount at those tiers in order to get double the perks).

(Hope I didn't explain that in too confusing a fashion.)

I've failed in my attempts to "stretch" my initial pledge. The instructions above don't correspond to what I see on screen. I give up.

Hey Basil -- there's another way you can do it, and Leigh will make sure you still get "Sarah's Laughter": simply increase your existing pledge by £3, without bothering to find the add-on or worry about David's instructions above.

If you do that Leigh will still make sure you get the second score.

OK. I must have done something right... I just got an e-mail confirmation of my adjusted pledge.

Just did the add-on for “Sarah’s Laughter.” Thanks again, Leigh!! So looking forward to all of this

Sorry, Basil. I did it on a desktop, and I'm sure other devices, heck other desktop browsers, may look different. It's a weird time for websites. I've had your very frustration myself, usually anytime I look up "How do I do X on my Android?" Wonderfully illustrated posts abound, and usually by step 3, what they show does not exist on my phone, and I've hit the wall.

Sorry to give you that experience; it is my king of frustrators these days.
