The Money Project

Following the successful Door Project I am proposing that for 2002 the community try a similar challenge, using a composite sample recorded during and after ICMC 2001 in La Habana. The sounds were recorded in the tourist market near Casa de las Americas, and in a smaller tourist market next to the Hotel Havana Libre. The challenge is, based on this WAV sample or alternatively here, create a musical work. Note: The samples are the same

Detailed Rules

Absolute maximum of 4 mins duration, preferable shorter, as it will allow more pieces to be played;
The sample or part of the sample must be the only source material;
Composers must be willing to write or present a technical statement of what they did to create the piece;
Anyone may enter, even if they were not in Cuba for ICMC.
The closing date is 31 August 2002, but earlier submissions would be much appreciated.

Please address any questions to jpff at cs.bath.ac.uk

The Decision Time has Come

A listening panel has heard all the pieces, and a tentative concert is being constructed. About half the submissions will be included. The concert details will be posted as soon as I know them.

Acknowledgements

This project was inspired mainly by the Cha Cha Man and largely by the Door Project Concert.
