A group of friends and I ran this social music project last year, the aim is to get as many people to record an album of their own music in a month (November). 30 days to make an album which must be at least 20 minutes.
Loads of great albums were made last year and we're running it again this year, in fact right now! It's not too late to sign up and unleash that masterpiece that you'd always been planning.
I know there's quite a few really talented musicians on here, this is a great chance to set yourself a deadline and just record something.
There are no real rules, it's not a competition, it doesn't cost anything, just a way of celebrating people's creativity.
If you know anyone who might be interested, pass it on.sign up here:

I think i might just sign up and take part.
I'm in the process of going through the last few years of musicmaking and deconstructing the songs into playable ableton sets for live gigs so might end up recording the live practise sessions and putting together a live album :)
- BaskerviIle0
sweet, definitely give it a go 23kon, live practice sessions could make a nice live album :)

Great work! I listened to it this morning.

shit...wish I would've seen this before November 29th.
- emilkorngold0
stoplying - there's always next year!
Baskerville - I loved it. The fact that I was forced to churn out a lot of material in a short period of time really made it work. Made me a lot less critical and kept me from shelving songs for weeks on end before getting back to them and finishing them up. To bad I can't make it to the party in London, hope it's going to be fun. Will you be video-ing it? Would be nice. So people who can't make it still get to see how the room responds to their music.
- if you want you can skype your performance in on the night, we have someone else doing it already!BaskerviIle

I wanted to contribute something, but after my MBP logic board was replaced, and thus Logic Pro requiring the serial number to be added again... the serial number is somewhere in my storage unit and I won't have it until we move Thursday... :(
