CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS
There's already a stack of brilliant artists lined up to contribute their songs. More on who's doing what sooooooooon.....
mixtape
12 (or more) songs with action set to them by a range of directors, writers & companies - some of whom you'll have heard of, some of whom you won't, some of whom you'll like and some of whom you might not.
in development
Anyone who's ever made one knows the care and love that goes into the process. Choosing songs that you think the person you're going to give the tape to will really love. Or that they should love. Because you always have. Or because they make you cry. Or you heard it for the first time together. Or the lyrics communicate something to that person that you simply couldn't. Or just because they really fucking rock. And ordering them - now that is all important. Making a random collection of songs into some sort of a cohesive whole that takes the listener on a journey that inspires, thrills, moves them.
So it's a simple premise, really. Over the next two years, we'll be working with some of our favourite writers, directors and theatre companies. Each contributing artist will choose a song that they hope you'll love as much as they do. And then they'll set action to it.
Each track will be performed as and when it's made and when we've got a whole tape's worth we'll order them and bring everyone together for one big performance party of our <mixtape>. We're also intending to make a filmed version of each track which (technology and record companies allowing) will be available for download.
Details on who's contributing as and when we're allowed to reveal.
We're making it for you. Welcome to the show. We hope everyone can make it.
