Here we are, from Italy!!<br>Hope to do this funny job with my band during the next week end.<br><br>r<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/8 Thorsten Wilms <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:t_w_@freenet.de">t_w_@freenet.de</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi!<br>
<br>
I would like to remind you of my call for contributions. Take your<br>
chance of becoming part of a crowd of people all around the world,<br>
counting to the rhythm in several languages!<br>
<br>
Contributors will be credited in order of their submissions and this<br>
will<br>
also likely influence the order of use in the track ;)<br>
<br>
Besides recording yourself and family and friends and pets (if they are<br>
able to count), you can help by spreading the word.<br>
<br>
<br>
What I'm after are recordings of one person at a time, saying:<br>
A: "One Two Three Four"<br>
B: "One and Two and Three and Four and"<br>
C: "Beat" (to be translated to whatever makes sense 4 times in one<br>
measure<br>
at 4/4. A single utterance is enough, as I want to use these as accent.)<br>
<br>
- Translated in a native language and any language spoken without much<br>
of an accent. If there are special ways of counting to the beat in a<br>
language, use those (only or even better additionally) and inform me.<br>
- With a tempo of 110 beats per minute (to be very clear, the "and" has<br>
to be between beats ;).<br>
- A and B should ideally be recorded with about 4 iterations (4<br>
measures)<br>
<br>
<br>
Don't think that your language will already be well-represented without<br>
you. Others might think the same ;) Also, the more I can layer in one<br>
language, the better.<br>
<br>
<br>
All files should be:<br>
- ideally wavpacked, or plain WAV as second choice<br>
- 32 bit float, 48 KHz<br>
- Trimmed<br>
- Normalized<br>
- Dry<br>
- Explicitly licensed as <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/</a><br>
or released to the Public Domain<br>
<br>
_Only_ if you don't record with a JACK application, 16 and 24 bit<br>
integer<br>
formats are also acceptable.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Please name the files as follows:<br>
- firstname_lastname_language_count.wav for "One Two Three Four"<br>
- firstname_lastname_language_count_and.wav for "One and Two ..."<br>
- firstname_lastname_language_beat.wav for "Beat"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Email attachments are no option for such large files, so only send<br>
links to uploads. Consider using <a href="http://www.getdropbox.com/" target="_blank">http://www.getdropbox.com/</a> if you have<br>
no other space. Please mail me off-list for submissions and on-list for<br>
questions.<br>
I'm also available as thorwil in #lad and #ardour at <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My intention is to offer the result and the material on <a href="http://archive.org" target="_blank">archive.org</a>.<br>
This is an open-source project ;)<br>
I also want to submit a version to the<br>
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase</a><br>
<br>
I can't promise to use all contributions. I will sort out ones that<br>
sound suspiciously different from others claimed to be in the same<br>
language ;)<br>
However, all serious contributors will be given credit.<br>
<br>
<br>
Extended deadline:<br>
I will start to work with the material as soon as I have enough, but<br>
will accept more until the 23rd of January.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
