Hey, Has anyone come across this before: The idea is that you have 24 hours to write an album. It must be done in one go. Must be at least 20 minutes or 30 songs. No covers or prior work. And no sleeping! Anyone think they'd be able to do it? I came across this yesterday and thought it was quite an intriguing idea.. not sure what the end result would be like, but it could be quite entertaining. |

sounds like fun. i might give this a go tonight as i have the day off tomorrow and i only had 3 hours sleep last night so im suitably fried to start work on such a project. |

I've already done it many times :) |
||||||||

I probably couldnt do it, I get bored very quickly with my own music unless I got something great coming up, and when I have something great on it's way I probably would want to "finish it as fast as possible" as I do belive in putting hard work and thought into a track, and that takes alittle while for me :) |

"I probably would want to "finish it as fast as possible"" WOULD NOT, WOULDNT, UMG |

You are an exception to the rule. |

Haha, it's just a simple matter of coke and not wanting to do anything else :p |

I'd be intrigued to hear the results Indeksical. I'm hoping to give this a go sometime in the next week or two.. I could do with lighting a fire under my ass to get me writing stuff again. Could be a good catalyst. |

I would usually agree.. I tend to put huge amounts of work into finishing tunes.. possibly in this case though the whole point is to fly through it and not get bogged down in anything. Sure the end result might sound quite unpolished, but sure what have you to lose? Well, you lose a day in your life and possibly feel a little tired for the next few days.. but it could be entertaining. |

I understand, I have tryed doing something almost like "an album a day" thing. Had a short "one track a day" period a couple of years ago... can be fun, but lately, if I can't come up with a very good base for a track I can't be arsed to finish it, not even arrangement wise and just throw it out and call it finished. Resaults in me only finishing "proper" tracks but also resaults in me working allot longer on one track, sometimes for about two months... After my current project is finished I'm gonna try to be a bit more playful and do some quick funny ones. Ow, and I have not seen you on the board before today, so welcome! :) |

Coca cola? |

If I had the day off? Probably yes. Just set up some shit for an ambient album, that would be the best/easiest way of doing it. |

i've cranked out decent tracks within one nite... but a whole album... thats alot of work or alot of wanking... |

Me and a few mates attempted to make an album-a-month during 2004. I managed 9. I'm definitely going to have to try this album in a day thing soon. Been wanting to for ages. |

I have no interest in hearing some electronica / ambient-shit album done in one night. I have very little interest in hearing anything from this bloated genre as it is. |

This sounds really easy. You just make very repeatative tracks. |

I'm very prolific. Only I know this. Now you do. |
||||||||

After i've added a few things to a song I have to ignore it for at least 12hrs or else I cant tell what is shit and what isnt. so if i did this i'd have to play it very safe |
||||||||

interesting idea... it's like Scott McCloud's idea of a (probably inspired by it, don't you think?). i'd try something like that if i wasn't so damn lazy and enjoying sleeping so much. i disagree with "a bad song is better than no song" though! |

A very good point. The mastering/eqing would be difficult for this reason too. |
||||||||
|

Looking at the rules, "No out-takes! If you start a song, finish it and put it on the album." I could see this being a real problem. I make about 30-50 unfinished tracks to every track I finish, let alone decent tracks. If you adhered to this, you'd end up with about 20 x 16 bar tracks and a couple of longer better ones. |

When I say, 'you' I do of course mean, 'me'. |

Yeah, I'm not so sure about the "bad song is better than no song" I think the world doesn't really need any more bad songs! Although, at the moment I really need to be writing anything, just to get me back in the zone (i've been out of the zone for a while!) |
