or indiegogo, the Kritzerland fundings used it and it works fine
I've used Kickstarter only once, and while it was successful, I didn't really care for it, whereas Indiegogo, for me at least, has been great and easy as pie to use. I'll be doing two Indiegogos, one very soon that won't be of interest to anyone here, and the other by the end of the year, which will. That said, the one that's coming shortly will have some perks that may be of interest

For anyone who's still somehow on the fence about supporting this (for so little money, as Martin points out!), Leigh has just provided a third and final enticing sample of the "Sarah's Laughter" score, music Jerry Goldsmith wrote for the series in late 1959 (the episode aired January 3, 1960, two days after his first Twilight Zone) which apparently only survives in written form today:

The cue is titled "Birthday Present", and it's a nice little gift for us to receive as the campaign is nearing its (very successful) end!

it's not surprising the backer count is pretty low.
I agree with all your reasoning, TerraEpon. I would add that once the project funded (which it did pretty quickly), surely some people saw no particular reason to contribute.
Yes, probably all these factor in, which is why it made sense to start this way, as the Kickstarter was obviously a success. I wondered myself whether or not to contribute, as it was already funded anyway. (In the end I did, I want to hear this.)

Less than two hours to go!
Interesting to get confirmation of the Kickstarter phenomenon where, once something is funded (including stretch goals), people feel less inclined to add their own money.

Is anyone here watching the livestream for the recording right now? "Bar Mitzvah" began recording a little too early for me to tune in live (6am my time), but I'm listening to them record some of "Sarah's Laughter" right now, and goodness this is a wonderful score...really comes alive with real strings.

Major congrats on your retirement, my friend! (I guess I should start corresponding with you more often, now that I know your 60+ hour work weeks are a thing of the past!  )

Leigh has posted a 1:09 clip of him conducting "The Bar Mitzvah of Major Orlovsky" earlier today and it is just. so. gorgeous.
Listen to this and try and tell me it isn't:

Glad you agree! You're quite welcome. I can't wait for you to hear the rest of the score!

In anticipation, with music:
https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/10957890-production-report-the-bar-mitzvah-of-major-orlovsky-sarah-s-laughter-2022-leigh-phillips-recording
New Goldsmith music is just around the corner, and we have a new production report to fill you in on all the details! With the aid of his Kickstarter backers, Leigh Phillips has created two new recordings of previously unreleased Goldsmith scores written for The General Electric Theatre: “The Bar Mitzvah of Major Orlovsky” (which foreshadows such Jewish-themed Goldsmith works as QBVII and Masada) and “Sarah’s Laughter” (a tender, yet surprisingly complex, score marked by striking harmonica passages). Leigh joins your humble hosts David, Yavar, and Clark to talk about the origins of the project, the fundraising process, the challenges of reconstructing “Major Orlovsky”, recording the music with members of the City of Prague Philharmonic, mixing the music, and much more! Naturally, you’ll be treated to some choice excerpts of the new music along the way. Whether you’re a Kickstarter backer who’s eager for more details on the project or simply a casually curious listener, we think there’s much to enjoy here. So give the show a listen, and get ready for the arrival of two wonderful television scores!

This is one of my favorite episodes of The Goldsmith Odyssey, and Leigh graciously allowed us to include a lot of samples from the new recording of these two superb scores...if you didn't participate in the Kickstarter but want to hear some of this music sooner than a month from now, give this a listen!

That’s a bummer of timing, Terra! Sorry to hear that. I think all backers got “Bar Mitzvah” early this morning. Looking forward to hearing what people think of it. To me it’s an absolute gem, one of Goldsmith’s greatest scores for episodic television.
