How?

How is The Mix-Tape being produced?

Artists of all ages are contributing selections of their own work or compositions inspired by another artist's arrangement. These have been recorded on camera, various computers and other portable audio devices. These contributions will be put together in "suites" - medleys of different songs with congruous themes or other relevance to each other. The work of different singers and instrumentalists will be put together, alongside and on top of other samples.

How is it being put together?

Using various digital audio sequencing, synthesizing, manipulation and arrangement software.

How can I contribute?

If you play an instrument, sing or rap - look through the "Tracklist" posts and look for songs you would want to cover, improvise on or embellish.

The Mix-Tape will also include some quotes from movies, books, speeches, interviews, conversations, lectures etc. If you have any suggestions of quotes you would like to contribute get them to me in spoken or written word. You can send me an email, arrange to record a selection, monologue, scene or quotation or send me a clip of the original.

How will it be distributed?

Everyone who contributes to The Mix-Tape will receive a free one accompanied by a leaflet. They will also be passed out at concerts in the spring and available for download via the blog.
