Hi there, my name is Sean. I'm a game producer and electronic musician from Seattle who recently began using my iPhone to record myself playing songs I'm learning on a new acoustic instrument. As I kluged these songs together it occurred to me that the bar for acceptable recording quality has gotten so low that almost everyone has access to a device to record with. Furthermore, the social space of the internet is so very rich that there is little reason that musical collaboration between strangers, and friends on the net not to happen. It was only after watching several covers of Snoop Dogg's "Drop it Like it's Hot" that the idea coalesced, and the seed for The Crowd Surfers was born.
The Plan:
1. Work on 3 songs at a time in various styles and genres.
2. Begin accepting user created recordings of people playing one of the 3 songs.
3. Once the song has reached minimum spec (the simplest recognizable mix of the song) post it online and continue to accept submissions and iterate until the song is finalized.
4. Once the song is final a stubbed video will be created and we'll start accepting video submissions until we have the footage needed.
5. Video will be edited together and posted on a video sharing site for all the world to see and appreciate.
Who we need:
Musicians, singers, videographers, recording engineers/mixers, graphic designers, creative types with good ideas.
Yes this is very ambitious but can be successful and lots of fun with YOUR help. It doesn't matter if you don't have a high level of musical talent and you can contribute a little or a lot. Over the next few days I'll be posting information about the first 3 songs as well as details about how to get involved. In the meantime please send any questions to sean_fear@hotmail.com
Hope to hear from all of you really soon!
