...and poets and songwriters and spoken word artists and yodelers and whatever...
...who are ballsy (a state of mind, not a gender description, mind you) enough to put their voice to their writing (or someone else's voice, that's cool too)...
...and have it man-handled my be, or rather interpreted and put into a musical soudscape...
...and eventually turned into a track on an official album release.
Confused? Keep reading.
A newly started (started by me and some friends, paperwork filed yesterday, so yeah, it's new) record label is looking to produce and release audio of on a non profit basis. From promo releases for promising bands looking for initial exposure, to various odd stuff with a limited audience.
One such thing is a project I'm working on with the working title 'Got Voice', where I want to fuse the music I make with the voice and word talents of different people around the world. And I've read and heard some pretty neat stuff from you people here on the forum, so I thought I'd ask around and see if anyone is interrested.
So:
1. I'm looking for original works of literary art of some sort. A poem, a (very) short story, song or rap lyrics, a political manifesto, whatever. (the more variety I can get the better)
2. You (or somebody you trust with your words) record them and send them to me. Sound quality doesn't have to be studio level, but it can't be too crappy either. A decent handheld microphone plugged into a computer will (probably) do.
3. I take your words, and make whatever music it inspires me to make.
4. I mix them together. Tweak, tinker, swipe and repeat until it sounds good.
5. (If needed, step 3 and 4 might have to be repeated a few times.)
6. When I have enough complete tracks to make an album, I package and release it for public humiliation.
Plausible time frame for the project is anything from 6 months to a year and a half. In case it would actually sell anything, normal Swedish (where the label is based) compensation rules for song lyrics and performers on phonographic records will apply. I'm doing research into all the legal hooplah for that right now.
So what say you, wanna lend me a voice? A PM or a "fuck yeah" post here puts you on my list, and I'll contact you when I start getting the general outline off the project ready.
Questions, suggestions and all the "Huh?" you can type is also warmly welcomed.
