As some of you may already know, I have been composing piano music since I was fourteen years old. This is an album demo. Recorded in Melbourne. Lyrics, vocals, original piano composition by me.
I am in New York currently writing my first album & novella. Both compliment the other. The novel is an Obituary about two lovers that must die before they can be meet. The album is a collection of dark, love songs.
My music has drawn comparisons to early Nick Cave, Bonnie Prince Billy, Mazzy Star, and Cat Power, though I try my hardest not to imitate, and if I ever sense I am borrowing from somewhere I begin again. What I am working on is from my heart and soul. It is the same reason why I am managing myself for now until I am certain a label will not exploit me or try and force me in a direction that wouldn't suit me or my work.
If you enjoy my work & would like to hear more I kindly request you spare five minutes of your time & make a small donation towards my recording and production expenses. I am producing it and choreographing it all on my own with no help from anybody & that is the way I would prefer to make this record for you so I can be confident that I will have the creative freedom to make something that I & you will love.
It will be recorded in New York & Jerusalem & I will be inviting some very talented friends to perform on it.
No donation is too small. I am an artist. I understand Life. I have lived it. A gold coin or $5 donation will not be accepted with any less gratitude. It all helps. Any donation is better than nothing and will help me realise my dream.
I come from a dark, sad, past. I am doing this on my own. It is very hard. I do not want to return to that dark house at the end of the street ever again. Thus, I am offering all friends who can spare a donation of any amount now, a copy of my first novel & a copy of my first full length record which I will personally send to you in the post.
Thank you again.
I love you.
Yours,
Saskia.
'To Love'.

Please don't be deterred from the price. It is only to protect the demos from leaking onto the internet.
Any donations will be an enormous help and will assist in helping Saskia record her first album and publish her novel. She is currently in the US with no help from anyone. Your help will cover her current start-up expenses to get away from a dark past and make her album a reality.

I'm afraid I couldn't spare much my darling. I've gone back to uni and am working in a book store. But I would love so very much to support you still, in some small way.
Such a beautiful, altruistic, honest and valient display of your talent, beauty and soul. I look so forward to reading and listening to you. Xxx
