the year of collaboration

That's right, as mentioned previously, Crude is looking to collaborate on recordings with other artists this year in an attempt to 'make things more interesting'. Hell, maybe it'll be a fantastic experience for all involved! Plan of attack is to work on a track a collaborator - one at a time - the way it plays out will be different for each assignment. It could be a face-to-face in-house experiment, it could be remote and purely digital exchange. It can be remix or re-remix, it could be track-to-track-to-track question/answer in the mail. Either way it is going to be more than likely released as data or even hosted online at the end of the year. As is mentioned on THIS page, the concept is only in it's inception and who knows what forces may back this baby up. Who bloody knows.
I'm encouraged by the great response I've had thus far from my 'call for artists' and I can safely say this will be a fun and diverse project featuring some real talent, both emerging and established. Hell, maybe i should team up with Paul Honeybone.

What else is new. The Crude show which was planned for the evening of Saturday december 9 in conjunction with the chaps from Proxy Music has fallen through, so, no sick sound fun in the Whiteroom this weekend. But fear not because there are a googol of entertainments in other sectors of the megalopolopolis that is dunners on Saturday night. Heka perform in the extremely cramped public bar Saturday night, a bold symbolic move by the 'get rid of the pool tables in the crown band bar'movement
to hit it home how essential to the health of local culture it is to have The Crown back as a rock venue. As aside from a pool-hall. I think there's some action at Chicks Hotel .Isnt there something else? I dunnow. And plenty of stuff next week too. But no, i'm not gonna let this blog turn into another fucking gig guide so I'll shut. the fuck. UP.
