The Risk Was Worth Taking
Dear Troublemakers,
Hello from England, where the temperatures have finally cooled off a bit!
Last week was intense. The heat wave that swept across Europe was unlike anything we've experienced, with record-breaking temperatures in many countries. We had three festivals to perform at, hundreds of kilometers to drive, and plenty of adventures along the way. As wonderful as the shows were, we have to admit we're quite happy to see the weather becoming a little more forgiving. It's a good thing too, because we have a very busy period ahead of us.
It's now been nearly a month since the official release of Mnemorith: Echoes of Eldbriaris, and the response has honestly been overwhelming. We've been carrying the books with us on tour for the past six weeks, and seeing so many pick them up after the shows has been incredibly encouraging.
This project was a big risk.
The story in Mnemorith: Echoes of Eldbriaris is literally just the introduction to a much larger adventure. This vision began several years ago and has slowly grown over time. Whenever we tried explaining it to potential partners, producers, or presenters, people were intrigued... but because the project only existed in our imaginations, it always remained a little abstract.
That's why we made the decision to self-fund the book and assemble the team to create what was, in many ways, a prototype of the larger vision.
The moment we held something physical in our hands, everything changed.
Suddenly, people weren't just hearing about our idea. They could experience it. They could read it, listen to it, and begin to understand the world we were trying to build.
And that's where we have some wonderful news to share with you.
Earlier this year we submitted a major application to Initiative Musik in Berlin for cultural funding to help develop this project further. The first time we applied, we were unsuccessful.
This time... we were approved.
It feels like a huge milestone.
The risk we took seems to have paid off, and it gives us even more confidence that this project can continue to grow as more people discover it, review it, and experience it for themselves. There is still so much we want to improve as we prepare the larger album, the live show, and the next chapters of the story, but now we feel like we've built a strong foundation to stand on.
The months ahead are going to be full.
We'll be finishing the novel, writing and recording the next music, continuing to build the immersive live show, and touring across Europe throughout the festival season... hopefully finding new readers for the remaining books along the way.
There's a real feeling around Trouble HQ that something is beginning to gather momentum.
We're excited.
And we're incredibly grateful that you're walking this road with us.
Love and Melodies,
Bennet
The weather has been crazy and a lot of people have suffered. Can't make touring any easier.
I think artists have to take risks to keep moving forward. I just listened to a series about Miles Davis and he made multiple big shifts during his career. You can do it too!
It's how we keep growing and evolving! Rare to find a musician/artist who discover themselves on their first creative endeavor - most take decades to evolve and mature.

Look what you have done to Hive 😂
You have turned it into 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🚮 you have turned Hive into 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
You are causing more damage than good
As I said from the beginning when you just started downvoting me for nothing we had no problems
I did think you were a good person doing honest work but it turns out I was so wrong
I still don't get how you can do this to people
We all know you work for blocktrades so it's stupid to keep doing it
@steevc has a lot to do with this it doesn't matter if you say he doesn't but it's clear just by the actions that can not be changed 🙏🏾
I do hope you have a life outside of Hive
You say you have money why are you doing this?
So old people on Hive who are never going to get to spend the money they have earned on Hive 😂
Are you going to be one of them 🤔
You can keep lying to yourself and everyone who trusts you but the longer this goes on the harder it will be for people to trust you again
Please just understand I will not stop until you leave me alone
Please read and share 🙏🏾
To the downvoting racist old and young farmers You are a scammer a thief a criminal who is working for other criminals
⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕👀
Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today in this post is some of the evidence to prove my case
If you didn't know I've been getting downvoted for a long time on Hive
They have been trying to bully me with downvotes and words but it doesn't affect me I've been online for over 25 years
So I've dealt with people like this before it's nothing new
But what they are doing is bad Very badi joined steemit like everyone else thinking it offers freedom but I must say steemit offered much more freedom than Hive does
Everyone already knows I only post my own original content I have no need to steal anything from anyone
I've been labelled a lot of things on Hive 😂 by the biggest farmers scammers and downvoters
Actions speak louder than any words do especially when them words are coming from a compolsive liars
