Help me write a tune and get my ass to Europe
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:51 am
So you may or may not be aware that I am venturing off to the northern hemisphere at the start of June. I'll be hitting between 12 and 15 countries, including the UK, Scotland, Israel and Russia to name a few (full schedule will be up soon). I will be performing at festivals and nightclubs, as well as hosting some workshops.
It's a very exciting time, and all the flights are getting locked in, however the main flight from little old Kiwiland and back has to come out of my pocket, and it aint cheap!
Last time, I did a call out for some help for that ticket, and had enough cash to get there within a very short amount of time (thanks thanks thanks), so I thought I should try a similar thing, however this time I want to make it fun, and give something back to those who help out.
Those who help out can join up in a mass collaboration with me to write a new tune.
Choose something from the list, a sound, a melody... whatever you like. It's yours, you now own that part of the tune.
On Saturday the 8th of May, you join me in a video chat with the rest of the crew who chose an element and we have chat for a while, before I start digging into writing the tune, screen casting my screen and giving commentary as it is happening
When we get to your element, we work together thanks to the amazing interwebs on building that into what you think works with the tune. Of course the other guys get to watch and pitch in as well but at the end of the day, you have the final say.
I keep this going as long as I can stay awake.... hopefully we all get a tune well underway, and near the end we will agree on another time to meet up and get things finished.
Once the tune is finished, it belongs to you and the rest of the crew. The Ableton files, the samples, the mixdown... it's yours and no one else gets it.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this goes, I'm finally at a stage where I have the resources I need to pull off some mad collaboration like this, and I reckon it's going to be a great way to spend a Saturday. I hope it's raining.
So if you want to be one of the team in this project, and help me out with my air ticket to the big EU, now's your chance. I have listed on my site the elements that are up for grab.
Let's see how this one goes! Cheers
