CHRIS
DOOKS NEEDS YOU
10 November 2002 |
 |
If you fancy having the sound of your voice used on an
experimental piece of work, multi-talented artist Chris
Dooks is requiring your help for one of his projects.
Chris describes the project as an ongoing study of his
relationship with geography and sound ideas. To participate,
sing and record what you consider to be a "middle
c" and sing the note as long as you can, make it
into an MP3 of less than 1Mb, send it to middlec@dooks.org,
allow it to be woven into a musical composition and jump
for joy! Your recording could end up being used in one
of Chris's next records. |
