i've decided to start my own internet music activity: March Album Completing Month.

it's for everyone who failed miserably at FAWM.

no charge. (or website)

Can I also complete the album I started in November or do I have to wait now?

blue · Post by **blue** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:12 pm

i guess you can complete any album you want to.

i'm leaving the rules up to those rules guys.

i've got an album more or less completed but i do need to finish the artwork and send it off for duplication (it's a live album).

Maybe we can borrow some from that survivor thing. They have way too many, anyway. I'm sure they won't miss a few.

Okay, so we'll define a "completed album" as something that meets the following criteria: It either exceeds 25 minutes in length (with no more than 3 of those 25 minutes lacking in either complete silence or unstructured [see paragraph 5.IIIA-12c in the manual for details on what constitutes (deliberate) structure] hiss) and has no less than two tracks (with the reciprocal of the number of tracks not to exceed the ratio of the timelength of any given track to the timelength of the whole album [unless an offending track's timelength is no more than (and here it gets a <i>bit</i> arbitrary) 15% of the cumulative timelength of any other 5 tracks on the album]), has no less than 45 tracks whose average timelength is no less than 30 seconds, has no less than 75 tracks whose average timelength is no less than 15 seconds and none of which are to have a timelength less than 4 seconds, or exceeds 87 minutes in length (with no more than 2 <i>consecutive</i> minutes lacking in either complete silence or unstructured hiss).

Yeah?

I have a live album to complete, too! Of course I'll have to write a few more songs. Then play them somewhere. But I digress...

I think this album finishing month is awesome! And I already anticipate an April Really Get It Done Month coming up soon

HeuristicsInc · Post by **HeuristicsInc** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 4:01 pm

Haha, no, my recordings are all complete, 78mins of them and I'm just finishing the artwork. I am definitely trying to push myself to finish this, really soon. Thanks blue.

I like the idea that each person 'competes' under their own rules.

Whats the album called, HeuristicsInc?

Sentence 16 of paragraph 13.VIB-2d in the manual clearly states that that isn't allowed.

I wasn't doing FAWM, but I think I'll join this monthly album-completing effort anyway.

I think I just lost all the work on my albums so I think we should have a May Album Starting Again Month.

roymond · Post by **roymond** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:11 pm

Please rename this thread "Hey - listen to my new song". Oh, there already is one.

Denyer - that sucks. For real?

Denyer · Post by **Denyer** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:50 pm

well I might be able to fix the problem but I am too scared to try anything in case I lose everything (now I just can't access it).

I think a better name would be "Get All Your Written Albums Done" (GAYWAD)
