FOTLabs II - The Reckoning

Hello Fellow Audio Adventurers,

Thank you all for participating in the first round of FOTLabs Audio Telephone game. Consider this email to be an invitation to signup for Round Two. I feel that the project was successful (and interesting!) but feel we need to make some changes in regards to management in the future.

The rules:

1. Signups for this round will close as of 7pm Sunday December 27th. Any late signups are welcome, but will be added to the end of the roster.

2. The game begins promptly at 8pm Sunday December 27th. the roster will be generated randomly and will be sent out immediately after signups close.

3. Each turn is 24 hours long. You are allowed to pass to the next person. The person whose turn it is is responsible for notifying the next person in the roster whether they finish a piece OR pass.

4. We will only use soundcloud.com for communication from here forward. There's no reason for mucking up the FOTboard with PMs and posts (gets too confusing).

5. Your post must be in Aiff or Wav format.

6. If you have not signed up for soundcloud, please create an account. If you already have an account, MAKE SURE that your username is identical/ close to your FOTboard handle.

7. The list of people this is going out to has been limited to FOTs for now. If we find that things move along smoothly and people are having fun, we may open up participation to non-board members (by consensus, of course)


8. Your version of the audio MUST include an element from the previous turn BUT you may also mine other previous versions for material as well.


9. Remember: this is a project that welcomes slick production as well as gritty beginner experiments. There is nothing riding on this, so if you are just starting out with audio DON'T be intimidated. Nobody is judging your contribution by anything other than participation and enthusiasm. If you have trouble with software or have any questions on technical stuff, post a message and someone will be glad to help out!


Okay, that's pretty much it. Email me at kickthebobo@gmail.com to be added to the signup list, or if you have any questions/ comments.


happy new year,

ktb

You have your priorities straight. 

My sympathy to you and your family.

I'm giving this a bump, because I think it got short shrift during the holidays. It's 2010 now, it's still going and it's fun! I'd never tried my hand at music before this, but they let me play anyhow. Don't let your inexperience stop you!

I've responded to your posts 3 times today... never came up.

Kicker's on an envelope kick.  I say we grab the ball and start running.

Dear Fellow Audio Experimenter,

Thank you for participating in the FOTLabs Audio Project. We seem to have come to a bit of a standstill with this endeavor, but there are some out there that are still interested in keeping this going.

For this new iteration, the rules have changed (yet again). We will be doing 3 day turns. I feel that this is ample amount of time to turn something around.

We will begin the next round with a sample of a simple sine wave. The roster will be generated by random and posted to the soundcloud discussion.

Please note: Our own Fredricks has begun an offshoot group here that you all should check out!: http://soundcloud.com/groups/fredericks-soundlab

You should message the next particpant when you are completed with your remix.

If you would like to be added to the roster for FOTLabs Audio Projects - "The Annunciation", please contact me via soundcloud, the FOT board or at kickthebobo@gmail.com

Thank you!
