24 Hour Comics Day, And An Idea

[filkertom]

Today. I'm not doing anything for it; I thought about it, but a little too much is going on right now with projects I need to finish. huskiebear made a suggestion, though, and I really like it -- both in the spirit of 24HCD and the RPM Challenge:

24 Hour Music Day.

Write, record, release as much music as you can in a single day. A thirty-second commercial jingle, a ten-minute chamber piece, a half-hour of ambient, three or four soft-rock love songs, a couple of original barbershop quartet numbers, a six-minute gangsta rap, whatever you can manage.

My intention would be to publicize the heck out of it, and see how many people we could get to sign up. I'm thinkin' a day in April, when peoples' schedules are not crunched by holidays or lots of conventions, and it doesn't conflict with RPM. Also, sign-ups could start on New Year's Day

Does this seem like a good idea? And who among you might be interested? Any thoughts you have to contribute on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

ETA: Just to help those of you who aren't comfortable making music with your computers yet, here are some resource pages I think you'll find useful:

• the Wikipedia page on Digital Audio Workstations, including lists of both free and commercial programs
• KVR Audio
• the KVRwiki
• Home Recording .com
• Making Music, in particular their free software section
• Musician Tutorials

I posted this in comments, and it made sense to put it here.

I'd be interested; month is unimportant to me though...April would work, so would December (that just leaves you little lead time.)
