We now have an official subscription/subscriber page on the Patreon platform. It took me awhile to discern its importance in these new models of digital crowdfunding, but I see now that fans are interested in content creation as it happens.
Note (+): This campaign lasts only through production.
On the page I created for the opera, Easter, visitors have two (2) choices in their helpalong: (1) a $1 pledge purchases a per-post subscription, or (2) a $10 pledge purchases a monthly subscription to the behind-the-scenes digest.

Ric Flair, world champion wrestling legend with a strange connection to Pascha[description:= White male, 70s years /// character:= athletic, brash, family man]
Wrestling superstar, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, will feature in a series of short adverts ('Easter eggs') for the prelude to my opera, Easter. Flair, in addition to producing the segment, will star as himself, narrating portions of the overture in the company of Fer over a toast of Brown Hue, a fictional brand of huckleberry-flavored rum, which is Pascha's favorite drink in the storyline. (Drink responsibly.🥃)
Eight (8) sixty-second adverts (representing the Octave of Easter 'tones') are planned in the series. One (1) advert at a time will be released the middle of every other month on schedule when they're ready.

/ Happy Birthday🎂, Joey Koala! - number 12
Today (March 15, 2017) marks the twelfth birthday of Joey Koala, my sidekick (the older I get, the stranger (probably because Joey's non-human), yet more normal (probably because I'm used to it) that sounds ... weird). This is a coming-of-age, so to speak, for the both of us, drawing some parallels. Let me explain.
Joey is the mascot of Egglepple, my portfolio which was also created/founded (/...whatever you want to call it) on my twelfth birthday. Knowing that, we've rounded a full circle in that sense. Also, in the last twelve (12) years, the portfolio has morphed/evolved from being a standalone body of work, into a (critical) subset of a larger structure (the jukebox, UUe) [Egglepple ⊆ UUe]. That fact in itself is not so different from Joey being (a) part of a much larger group of playmates (siblings?), all of whom are instrumental in my conduction.
.. as the story (ahem!, .. legend) goes, I created Joey after celebrating my father's birthday (happy belated, Pops!) in a span of reflection. Nowadays, it feels almost like I'm a father (really, but not really) to Joey (I guess that would make my own dad a grandfather ... whoah!), in the sense that my creation relies on me nurturing every idea of mine that our favorite koala🐨 pops into. This is quite the responsibility and an honor that I'm actually glad to have. Building something (especially something technical/arcane) and having a representative for that construct be a thing that is instantly recognizable says to me that I'm adding both tangible and intangible value to the world almost with my thoughts alone. In that regard, I am proud to look at this as a generational legacy, one I think that my father, myself, and the countless others Joey will inspire can take joy in.
Happy birthday, Joey!🎂
