Global Song 11.11.11 part 1 - Good Tines from One Day on Earth on Vimeo.
PARTICIPATION INFORMATION
Once again as part of One Day on Earth we are inviting the world to participate in a collaboration of music and movement on Wednesday, December 12th, 2012. Take a look at the video above created from last years submissions and read up below on how to participate.
We are providing three sets of guide tracks this year. Each guide track within a set is in the same key and has similar structure to the other tracks in its set. All of the guide tracks are at either 70 or 140 BPM and in complementary key signatures which will allow lots of layering off the parts that everyone records on December 12th. The guide track sets are:
Swamp Logic - A minor (3 Variations)
Sailing the Seas Major - C Major (3 Variations)
Between Us and the Stars - E minor - (3 Variations) - Download simple sheet music for these tracks here.
Listen to the tracks below to see if any of them inspire you. All tracks are downloadable. Please contact us if you have any issues downloading the files.
How to participate
Singing and playing an instrument:
If you would like to sing or play an instrument one of the most important aspects of recording yourself to the guide track is that your voice or instrument is the only thing we should hear in your footage. We should not hear the original guide tracks. The beginning of each guide track contains four clicks/tones (1 bar) followed by another bar where you can hear a human voice counting. After those 8 beats (2 bars) is when the music starts. You are welcome to do a count-in on video to help us with placement of your parts.
A fairly easy way to record yourself is to put the guide tracks on a playback device like an ipod, wear headphones and play your instrument while recording it on your video camera. If you have professional audio recording gear and want to use that, please do but keep in mind that we really want video of you too, not just audio. When you are submitting your parts, let us know which guide track you played to and/or record yourself saying it on the video recording.
Dancing:
Dancing should be easier because, unlike musical parts, we WANT to hear the guide track in the video recording as it will help us immensely when combining all the footage. Basically just set up your camera/shot, play one of the guide tracks and dance to it.
Other filmable synchronized events:
Any kind of activity synchronized to 70 or 140 BPM would be great material to submit. Blinking lights, robotics or any other kind of movement you can think of. Can you get old hard drives to play music or are you a Max/MSP or Arduino expert? If you can sync stuff to 70/140 BPM and film it, this could be a great collaboration for you to contribute to.
Six other useful tips:
1. If you are using an iPhone or other smartphone, the footage is more useful if it is recorded in landscape mode.
2. While certainly not required, it might be more fun to do this with a friend or even a group. It is nice to have a dedicated person to operate the recording devices.
3. In a group jam, one person could wear headphones with the guide track and the other performers in the group could follow that person's lead.
4. On a similar note, a teacher or conductor could wear headphones to hear the guide tracks and conduct a group of performers.
5. While ideally, the guide track should not get onto your recordings, if you MUST have it on quietly and it gets onto your footage, it will still be useful.
6. Please don't send just audio. We very much want video as well. If you have professional recording gear and would like to record the audio seperate from the video, please do but if you only have a smartphone, point and shoot or DSLR with a built in microphone, audio recordings on these devices should be acceptable as long as there isn't a ton of wind noise or pops from the camera getting bumped around.

Adding: This is the video you are getting. As I have no more "spare time" to edit or create another version of it. But I hope it will fit in. I guess with all the other videos attached from around the world, the final piece will become varied and nice. :)

I have uploaded the video for my soul collaboration with track included to Vimeo (One Day On Earth-uploader), I hope that was alright? And btw, it is a "music video"-attempt, not exactly purely me playing the whole time, because I found that pretty long just for piano and really.. I mean, what am I against nature? ;).. so, I found out I`d film mostly nature, and then there are a few clips of me playing the piano.

Joseph, In an earlier message you told us where to upload if we were uploading only a video, or only an audio, or both (see below). Does that mean that we don't have to upload a video, but we can just upload the audio that was recorded on 11/11/11 and still be able to participate in the music collaboration? Or do we still need to send the video of us performing/singing?
"If you are planning on uploading video only: you will use the regular One Day on Earth uploader that will be available on the ODOE home page very soon.
If you are planning on uploading audio only: please use the soundcloud dropbox above (just above the FAQ).
If you are planning on uploading video and audio separately: you will use the main ODOE uploader for video and the soundcloud dropbox above for audio.
PLEASE make sure that the file name contains the guide track that you used. A couple examples might be:
'11.11.11 - HipHop - Kelle Maize Rap Verse'
'11.11.11 - Upbeat - Brittney Johnson Chorus Vocals'
'11.11.11 - DrumLoop - Emily Jones Native American Flute'
'11.11.11 - Soulful - Hal Walker Khan'"

i have loads of footage from 11.11 and still trying to synch it all. Would u mind if I am uploading tomorrow? The website is abit confusing, as it says submission january 11th and here it`s Dec 12, but of course I remember u said Dec 12 to me and I said Dec 12 to u. ;) I just got a little delayed bco overtime work elsewhere and then getting the flu. i bet I also made it alittle too complicated for myself as usual, by started cutting extracts from different takes from different places... of course in the description here it says video of only us playing the song. Well, I made alittle "surroundings" into it... anyway, it is soooon ready ;D I hope the upload button will still be around for a few secs more
