Az Samad - Our Voice

What would it be like if you could have a song on an album that was inspired by you ?

What if, that song -- your song -- could communicate any message you want the world to hear?

What would you say?

What would your message be?

I'd like to know.

Which is why I'm looking for 10 inspirational titles from purposeful individuals with a message for the people.

Here's how it will work:

10 songs, 10 days.

I give a theme.

You give me a song title.

Everyone votes.

The song title with the most votes is the song of the day.

I write and record a song inspired by that title.

The person who suggested it gets to write one paragraph about the title and
what it means to them.

And then our songs with your message get released. To the world.

Sept 1st to Sept 10th.

Everyone who collaborates will get a mention on the album inlay text.
Everyone.
That includes you. =)

Join in and be a part of the creative process.

Let's make something meaningful together this Merdeka.

Our Voice in harmony on one guitar.

FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions]

1. How long is this going on for?
10 days. Sept 1st to Sept 10th 2011.
 
 2. I'm in [insert your current location]. Can I enter?
 Yes! This is open to anyone, anywhere in the world with access to an Internet connection.

3. How does it work?
Everyday, Sept 1st to Sept 10th 2011, I will announce a theme for the day. You can suggest a song title and then later during the day, everyone votes for their favorite song title. The one with the most votes wins and I will write a song inspired by it. If you win, you also get to write a one-paragraph description about what the title means to you.

4. I don't play an instrument/I don't play music. Can I still take part?
Totally! Yes! =)

5. What's the deadline for the title submission and voting thing?
For submissions, it's currently till 4pm (local Malaysian time) and the voting takes place from 4:30pm to 10:00pm (local Malaysian time too). It might change depending on the response but I'm trying this for now!

6. Why are you doing this?
I love collaboration and I wanted all my friends and fans to be able to join in the creative process.  It's fun, it's a bit crazy and very unpredictable. Plus, I get to be inspired by song titles that I know I would never come up with!

7. Do you like playing video games?
Yes, I do. Not much time now but gosh, I do.

8. What's your favorite color?
Green. Sometimes brown. Earth shades. 

9.  Rumor has it you were on BFM 89.9 FM talking about this? 
Your sources are correct. Did you miss the show?
