Hello all. My name is Don.
I am calling for submissions for a network music piece. To put it simply I leaving this project open for the online community to write. I am doing a project where I take submissions that anyone and everyone submits and compile them together. The submissions will be based on your impression of the spoken word of American novelist and pioneer of beat poetry, William S Burroughs.

The rules are as follows.
-Submissions should at the least be 160kbs or more.
-Though you are composing based off your impression of William S Burroughs, samples of him should not appear in the submissions.
-The submitted pieces should be at 100bpms, I will accept any length but keep in mind that if your submission is long, keep it simple with only 1-2 parts. Remember I will be compiling alot of peoples work here.
- I will also accept short sound samples as long as they do not contain any sort of spoken words in them, though unintelligible vocals will be accepted.
-I don't want to limit this to any single genre but I don't want it to become a horrible mashup of conflicting sounds either. Therefor Id have to say please stay with the spirit of creepy.
-I encourage guitar, synth, grundgy samples, drums... basically whatever, just remember there needs to be room for many peoples work here.
-I personally will have no part in creating any sounds. I may use sound enhancement tools but other than that and composition, this work belongs to you all. So have fun with it.
The due date for all submissions is April 23rd. After, I I will take the submissions and compile them together and layer in the spoken word of William S. Burroughs as a final product. After it is finished I will post it here on this website along with proper credits. Please post links to your submissions to this thread or E-mail them to me at Deadbunny29a at Yahoo dot com. please only send MP3s to the my E-mail as I do not have a ton of space.
