365 and new album

So it has been over 4 months now of me recording one sample per day for my new musical project. Let me tell you: shit is hard. I had to cheat 4 or 5 times now (not that you will ever notice, hah) and it is still only 1/3rd of all sounds to collect.

Also it now starts to be clear for me how much work it will be to collect all this audio together. I tried to make some preliminary sound combinations but I immediately delete them, because how can I know if I will not record a sample B in 3 months' time that will suit the sound A better than what I used just now.

Do not worry, I shall not give up.

In the meantime, the new album is almost ready and it should see the light of day around early May.

It will be named "Toothless in Deerland" and contain, among others:

Birds, tractors, baby, rattle, squeeze toy, coughing, footsteps, people talking, garage door rattling, bell, music box, guitar, scrap, tin cans,  snoring, old casio tape, machine guns, reeds, crunching branches, water well, buzzing electric appliances.

Under construction: 365

The new project.

Each day of year 2011, SOT45 will record one concrete sound sample with his dictaphone.

After 365 sound samples are collected, SOT45 will begin the arduous task of mixing them together into one audiotrack.

SOT45 limited himself with a set of rules regarding the sound samples.

Each sound sample must be different.

The length of sound sample must be between 1 second and 1 minute.

The sound source may be the same but each sound collected from this sound source must be different.

While mixing:

Each sound sample will be used only once.

No pitchshifting, tempo changes, tremolo, delay, reverb, or any special effects are allowed apart from cutting, pasting and simple changes in volume (fade-in, fade-out).
