Tel Me More
In the summer of 2015, Tel launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in order to produce a remix album (called 'Tel Me More') of his best C64 music. Of the $38.911,- (a nod to the amount of free memory bytes when starting up a Commodore 64) goal, $27.420,- was reached by a total of 699 backers. On August 8th 2015, Tel gave an update on his Indiegogo page stating that this was sufficient to create the album and deliver all the promised perks.
