Mobile-Studio Crash & Home Rescue

My home / mobile recording studio crashed. This van was essential for my life.
To recover and make my new album, I need your help.

Summary

I am Karmameleon, a traveling musician. Tragically, my van that was my home and recording studio for 7 years (packed with recording equipment) fell 2 meters deep from the side of a road and a lot of essential  elements for my work as a musician are now destroyed.

While avoiding a car on a  narrow road, the right wheels sunk deep into the loose grass right next to the road and made steering impossible. The weight tilted me to the side until I hit ground. This is my first real accident after 15 years of driving.

Luckily I survived this traumatized, yet only with a flesh-wound.  What once was the inside of my mobile recording studio though, transformed into a pile of unrecognizable debris. My insurance had a small print that only accounts for certain movable objects, so that is a heavy blow for me.

To recover from this accident, continue my path as a musician and rebuild the essential parts for the production of my new album, I will humbly need your help. This is the first time I am reaching out like this, as I truly need your support in this moment.





What I Need 

Music is everything to me, but this accident left me in quite a desperate situation. To continue this path and bring you a new  album, 
I need :

3400 Euros  - Mechanical repairs / side chassis  / front window /
side window and top window.

800 Euros  - Repair of my solar system with recording class sine
wave inverter and solar battery

1500 Euros - Repair of other broken equipment & Reconstruction (Heater, Gas System, Electrics, Pedals)

5700 Euros total

What  you get  

Every donation will get a free download and streaming link to my latest album "Ethereal". Just enter your name in the Mailing List at the bottom of  this campaign.

Know that I am also honestly forever grateful, since I would not do this if it wasn’t for a real need for help of my friends this time.

If I don't reach my goal I will still give my best to recover and finally be able to live and record as a musician. as this is my whole life.

Crowdfunding is becoming an essential parts for musicians. I am working very hard to create beautiful music, yet it is getting harder to make a living in this digitalized world. I believe through the right use of social media, there is a way for us to thrive again. We are one human tribe.

The Impact

Through your contribution you are helping me to recover from an accident that is affecting my life on every level. Seeing everything I built these  last 7 years in a pile of debris is traumatizing, and I simply cannot afford to not fully care about my recovery right now. You can help make this recovery possible so that I will be able to perform and record again.

I will take it as a spiritual journey of recovery from all distractions, until I am able to play music for you again- more focussed than ever. If you ever loved my music or like to support me as a friend/musician or fellow human, "you" out of many "yous" can move mountains in this my time of need.


In other words : 

My home and studio for 7 years is about to fall off a 2 meter high cliff with me. For an eternal moment I was drifting in bright and breathless damnation. Just when I recovered passionate clarity to work on ideas for my album „defiance“, reality shook me once again and I felt the convulsion of a sudden but fateful ground zero in my marrow. In the moment of the impact I knew that everything I held dear and built over the last years, my shelter from all the storms inside of me- is falling like a dying dream into the sharp teeth of the yawning and frozen cold reality 2 meters below me.
Benumbed but ominously wide awake I escaped through the door above me and pulled myself out in refusal, with eyes too wide open- with the smell of gas and fatefully hard realization in the flickering air. A faceless voice roused me: 
„It is gone, that’s it!“ „No“, I replied: „it has to be a dream- wake up now Leon!“ There was way too much weight in my heart for this to be a mere dream though. That was truly it! A new chapter of my life scorched down with a substantial part of leafing pages of this half written book in flames, leaving me to watch their ashes rise up into the dark but vastly open skies. 

Risks & Challenges

I have always been a solitary fighter and never really reached out for help in my life in this way. I have constantly pushed through and managed to pay for all of my music productions myself so far, but unfortunately, this time I cannot recover alone.

If this project fails, I will be in quite serious trouble financially for a long time and that will hinder all my life drastically.

I always believed in the balance of giving and taking. So in honor of the Love I received for playing music, I shared generously when I had plenty. But asking for help in my time of need was always hard for me. A certain fear of exposure of my weakness and possible rejection or failure was always stopping me from doing so. Now, I found the courage here to do this for the first time. I am reaching out to you for help.
