Salutations! You may know me as Jacob Fastwheels Noah El-Melon from the Brohou Project group (where I initially proposed the idea), but I came here to tell you about a project I wish to run.
Inspired by the
AWA Touhou Scroll Project, I began thinking... the music of Touhou is pretty important too, right? So, in honor of ZUN's first visit to the states, I would like to show him as a community just how much we appreciate it!
Before you say anything, yes, this thread is based on the AWA Touhou Scroll Project thread's layout. ?If it ain't broke, don't fix it.?
Just what is the AWA Touhou Album Project?
I would like the Western Touhou Community to produce an album of remixed Touhou music, potentially spanning several discs. The physical CD set will be given to ZUN as a gift, with a booklet of liner notes, and shortly after AWA the album itself will be uploaded as a free download.
What kind of work will this project consist of?
Because there are hundreds of songs in this series, not everything can be covered, but at the same time,
anything can be covered. From Highly Responsive to Prayers to Hopeless Masquerade, all of the various music albums released by ZUN on the side, and anything else released before AWA, the choices are not exactly limited.
If you are interested in contributing to this project, I would like you to give me a list of five to ten songs you would be willing to choose from, as well as a sample of your past work. That way, I can choose a song that would be good for your musical style. For the sake of quality control, there will be a panel of judges, but don't worry about that ? just give the music 100% and put your soul into it, and you'll be fine.
What genre will the album be?
Anything! This isn't ?The AWA Touhou Rock Album Project? or ?The AWA Touhou Dubstep Album Project?. We're giving him a taste of the community as a whole, after all! I only ask that, whatever genre you do your song in, you give it your all.
What will the CD set's layout be like?
If it is only one disc, the CD will be presented in the standard ?disc in a jewel case with liner notes in the inner sleeve? layout. If it is several discs, the set will be presented in a box with the jewel cases inside of it, with simple credits on the back of the art paper on the case's inner sleeve and a more detailed liner note booklet in the box.
What is the deadline?
Much like the Scroll Project, I'd like to have the music done by
August 31st, and the CD set itself ready by
September 21st.
I can't make music, how can I contribute?
Singing or writing lyrics for vocal songs would be great, and credit will be given in the album's liner notes. Alternatively, you could write a short (one or two sentences) message to ZUN, which would also be included. Suggestions, advice, and free advertising are appreciated as well.
Where can I contact you?
Just send me a Skype invite. My username's Arutoa. Tell me that you're contacting me for this and I'll add you to the group chat.
