Chrysalid: Musicians for Katrina Relief CD is a project organized by coalition of international musicians using their art to raise funds in support of the victims of hurricane Katrina.
We received lots of support from audio software developers who want to help us encourage people to pre-order Chrysalid: Musicians for Katrina Relief before the discs were ready to ship by offering prizes. Thanks to their generosity, we successfully met out production costs and fulfilled our early fundraising goals.
NOTE: There are no new developer challenges at this time and all prizes have been awarded.
