I'm making an instrumental CD for charity and I'm looking for contributions

SimonWaldram	Date: June 23, 2006 @ 11:55 AM I have an instrumental album called 'Songs Without Words' which I planning to expand and sell on CafePress. I plan to give all the proceeds to charity, and hopefully that charity is going to be the Progeria Research Foundation. I'm looking for contributions for this, so if you have any interesting instrumental pieces I can build on: drones, bass lines, ambient stuff, keyboard parts...anything, then please note me or send them directly to Simon_Waldram@hotmail.co.uk. You will of course recieve a writing credit but due to the non-profit nature of the CD I won't be able to pay you. Please get in touch if you feel you can help in any way.

SimonWaldram	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 3:19 AM Thank you so much to everyone who has send me notes, emails and musical donations so far. All the input I've got so far makes me think that I should credit the album to a collective group, rather than "Songs Without Words by Simon Waldram" Therefore if anyone is willing to donate a whole song if would be more than welcome (and of course you would be fully credited on the record). Simon
GeneHilbert	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 3:49 AM I'd be more that happy to contribute..... if there is something on my page you would like to include - please let me know......

MinisterofSc...	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 1:31 PM I'd like to contribute as well. We'd? I'm sure we would. Does this excluding us selves from the use later on of a CD of our owns? I don't really know how copy rights work so much. Still interested eitherway.
Bluenevus	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 3:04 PM Nice
SimonWaldram	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 7:19 PM The rights of any music used will still be the property of it's author. In other words if you contribute a song it'll still be yours and yours alone to do what you want with in the future. All I ask for is the rights to use it on this particular CD for as long as I choose to keep it in print. Hope that clarifies the situation. It would be fantastic to have you aboard, Minister
SimonWaldram	Date: June 25, 2006 @ 3:44 PM And here's something else I need to make clear: If you donate a snippet of sound, an intro, keyboard line, drone etc etc then I will use that as a building block to create something new. However if you donate a full song I will not tamper with it, and I will include it on the CD in the form you gave it me with your name credited as writer and performer. This is not meant to be a solo album by me with contributions by other, but a collective effort with myself as the curator.
SimonWaldram	Date: June 25, 2006 @ 4:14 PM And another thing: The CD is going to be in print for one year. It's a concern of mine that someone might say "I don't want my song on that CD anymore" in a few months from now. Therefore I am asking you to donate me the song for the entire year. The music will still be your property and so you can still do whatever you want with it outside of this project, but by agreeing to be part of this project I have to ask you to be part of it for its full duration (one year). Simon

hate9wicket	Date: June 26, 2006 @ 9:51 PM http://www.dmusic.com/forum/collaborate/23458#1 If you like and if you please I can so totally see you going Sonny Sharock over this, so go for it .
SimonWaldram	Date: June 28, 2006 @ 5:58 PM Zedsalt: Thank you so much Your music is awesome, so I'm sure I'll be able to find something that'll fit. Mr Wicket: I'm no Sonny Sharrock, unfortunately, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for offering it me, man.
SimonWaldram	Date: June 28, 2006 @ 6:02 PM ALSO! This album is clearly no longer is solo album my be and, apart from all the songs being instrumental it doesn't have too much to do with my 'Songs Without Words' projects anymore. So I'm open to suggestions on what we're going to call this things and what collective name we can give ourselves.
celtaidd	Date: June 28, 2006 @ 6:26 PM D'Song Remains the Same? by The D'Zepplin?
zedsalt	Date: June 29, 2006 @ 11:49 AM "Before Their Time"?

ollie09	Date: August 9, 2006 @ 10:18 PM you can pick one song off my page as long as isnt labeld jazz band cuz thats copyrighted stuff.
Intergalacti...	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 11:53 AM i'll record a song now and if you like it you're welcome to use it i'll note you when its done.
TLK	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 12:22 PM You need any hip-hop instrumentals? I've got a pretty cool one that I've hardly put use to.
JamesFigment	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 4:23 PM Sitll wish you'd do a non instrumental. But I guess I could jsut do that myself...
GeneHilbert	Date: August 10, 2006 @ 5:03 PM "hip-hop instrumental".....? I would love to hear a hip-hop instrumental
zedsalt	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 11:51 AM The Beastie Boys' "theinsoundfromwayout!" album is an excellent instrumental offering...
shouhei	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 12:07 PM hip hop instrumental - dj krush anyway. yeah you can use my stuff no worries just give me credit
SimonWaldram	Date: August 11, 2006 @ 12:57 PM DJ Shadow, that's instrumental hip-hop, too. I love that's guys stuff. We have all the contributions we need know, thanks. Apart from a couple I'm still waiting on, the songs are: They Grow Up, Don't They? - Celtaidd Third Heaven – Dan Sindel Isolde's Ride - Zedsalt Elements - Simon Waldram Black Sky - Saint All Clues and No Solution - Alex Lindqvist Katie in the Snow - Fra Donaghy Rowing Toward Hope– Simon Waldram and Gurdonark Stormcrow - GreatGooglyMoogly Froggleggs - Gene Hilbert Our Winter – Fraser Another Rainy Day - Aeterno Flamma Hayley’s Song – Simon Waldram What I need from people now are high bitrate WAVE files (or, failing that, MP3's) of all the songs. We also still need for the album, too, so any suggestions are welcome. I'm so grateful to everyone who got involved in this. You guys are awesome
