Hello all,
Please pardon this intrusion on your inbox.
I keep coming up with harebrained schemes and ideas for the show... 'Natter' [do you remember that?] -- which I thought was an ace idea, but we don't have the resources at Radio Wales, apparently. Ho hum.
So, here is my NEW IDEA sparked by the creative brilliance of Akira the Don's blogs for the show.
You [*YOU*] get to make a little documentary on your band using whatever tools are at your disposal and I get to broadcast them.
You can do whatever you want.
The only rules are: no longer than 7 minutes, no swearing or breaches of our guidelines [any questions ask in the Facebook group discussion board], be as creative as humanely possible, include details on who you are and where you are and where people can find out more about you.
You can use sound effects, your own songs, snatches of other people's songs [as long as you credit them so that we can register the tracks for PRS], interviews with your fellow band members, interviews with fans... anything you like.
Think of it as a radio equivalent of the much-maligned myspace.
I fully expect them to be as garish on the ear as myspace has a tendency to be on the eye.
This is an opportunity for you to have some creative fun and up to 7 minutes of our valuable airtime.
The fidelity of these *is*important. I don't expect pro quality, but we can't broadcast stuff that sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a slurry-filled well.
Are you up for it?
ARE YOU?
Please e-mail high quality, finished mini documentaries to:
themysterytour@gmail.com
And, if you want / need more info, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I recommend we use the discussion board on the Facebook group to share info / knowledge / answers etc. There\s a link to it in the sig below.
