Dear Venturers,
The Horizon Venture – 10 short stories about interplanetary diaspora
by Vidal Montgomery
Advance album preview @ http://soundcloud.com/thehorizonventure
I have now completed recording, mixing and mastering for my first full album, The Horizon Venture.
I would like to thank ALL of those - the nameless AND the shameless - who contributed their time skill, attention, patience, compassion and wisdom to help to illuminate one more star in this galaxy of recorded music. You are the ones from whom I have learned that the collective purpose of all these stars is consistent navigation for wayward seafarers, those who would begin their own venture in millennia to come. Every body needs a light to lead the way, and may this set of recordings be such a light.
The album is scheduled for digital release on 1st October 2012, and I'm planning to do some live shows in the last quarter of the year
in the meantime, I am making the full recordings available for advance preview at
When you get a moment, please have a listen and let me know your thoughts about any aspect of the project - the music, the people involved, the idea, the theme. Not only do these (bona fide) comments help to generate interest for ensuring the project' continued success in the form of live performances and download sales, it's also nice for me to get a sense of how my work actually makes you feel ( inasmuch as this can be described by words)
If you'd like to get in touch, the best ways at the moment are:
- Log into soundcloud and leave a comment on the tracks or the set at http://soundcloud.com/thehorizonventure
( I recommend this because there is a lot of other great music from great artists on soundcloud)
- Email me back with a comment or reference ( let me know whether you're happy for me to use your comment for promotional purposes;)
- Leave a comment / reference on the Horizon Venture Group page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/36524987075/
I am planning a private video screening of the Live Theatre performance(s) of "The Horizon Venture", as filmed by Simon Beckett of Factorum film, before the digital release. There will be a post presentation discussion, and an opportunity to be involved in a video documentary about the next 500 years, and where we see ourselves in it Those closest to me will know, this is a subject very close to my heart.
If you'd like to attend this screening do RSVP and let me know. The screening will, in all likelihood, be in London, but if people decide there's somewhere better, I'll consider it )
Finally, this project is actively engaged in press, publicity, promotion and booking, so if you know anyone who may be interested, please feel free to forward
Hotep, and thanks for your time and attention
Vidal Montgomery
