Our Supporters:
This project has been generously funded through support of BNZ's Art of The Start campaign. In 2025, composers Sammy Hook and Harry Maxwell were kindly awarded $20,000 to go towards the production of Clockwork's concept album. This project truly wouldn't be possible without BNZ's support.
