Kim Boekbinder is on a mission to make an album that's literally out of this world. if you like space, if you like good pop then you need to back this album via Kickstarter. The pink haired wannabe astro-pop princess even has genuine science dudes on board, including an astronomer, a lunar professional and real life astronauts. Here's her appeal- please donate if you can; Kickstarter is really helping musicians create fantastic work like this that conventional record labels just wouldn't have time for.

A passionate appeal, a lush epic, a gorgeous journey, and songs of wonder, beauty, heartbreak, and purpose.

"The Sky is Calling" is a celebration of humans in space. Instrumentation for the album includes a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments not usually heard together (synthesizer and hammer dulcimer, Mbira and drum pads) and sound samples from earth and space. Some rhythm tracks have been created by importing visual data (NASA photographs) into an audio program where they are sculpted into grooves. We will be dancing to the beat of the stars.

The album is meant, first and foremost, to be a great pop album. Fantastic art leads to fantastic places. Not every song will be space or science based, but many of them will be. I hope to incite some excitement for space, technology, knowledge, wonder, collaboration, and a better future.
