PATRONAGE INTRODUCTION:
The history of art does not exist without great patronage. From the de' Medici family and Michelangelo to the Sforza family and Leonardo da Vinci, arts patronage has funded some of the greatest works of Renaissance Europe and beyond.
Driven by an unwavering vision to create music that stands the test of time, I’ve built this project since it’s inception in 2022 with the support of incredible patrons. Initially through the Australian Cultural Fund, and now privately, I owe the creation of my forthcoming album to a faithful list of supporters. Working with an artform I’m committed to for decades to come, I have a dedication not only to the purity of my own musical expression, but to the deeper impact I’ve seen it have; from reawakening other artistic or poetic characters to their own journey, bridging global communities, and contributing to the global reverence for the timeless art and beauty.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
Pensieri (Music Video) - $0 of $2,000 currently funded
Filmed 25 July 2025, live at the Ferentino Acustica Festival south of Rome, Italy
Summary: Fresh from a 50-Concert USA Tour, I performed the Like The Night Itself album in its entirety in the stunning hilltop Italian town of Ferentino, filming the performance and surrounding ambience. With a three-camera setup, we captured the passion inherent in my live performances, time-synced to the album recording. Now with a song-release date of 28 February 2026, and a video-release date of 14 March 2026, I’m raising funding for the filming, coloring, and editing of this next visual release.
Get Involved: If this is a song you feel attached to, please reach out to discuss how you might like to be involved in the final month of production until this is released. I’ll forward you the final master recording ahead of release, and provide periodic updates on production progress.
UPCOMING PROJECTS:
Like The Night Itself (Vinyl) - 12” - 33 1/3 RPM 180g - pressed at The Vinyl Factory, London, UK | $0 of $4,000 currently funded
Album Release - Phase Two | Production of Three Italy-based Films this March/April 2026 - $0 of $15,000 currently funded
Following the release of Films for Like The Night Itself (shot in Paris), La Casa di Ponsacco feat. Tommy Emmanuel (St. Peter's Italian Catholic Church, London UK), and Pensieri (Ferentino, Italy), and off the back of my attendance of the Berlin Film Festival, I’m moving into a higher level of production for the second round of singles from this album.
Works Involved: Album Tracks 4, 5, and 6: Nocelle, Aurelian Intermezzo, and Segretezza
Locations: Amalfi Coast, Rome, and Venice
Further Details TBA: If this is a round you would like to participate in, please email ella@kyrandaniel.com
