Thanks to the fantastic job you guys did on the two previous charity album, Seeds of Kindness collected over $90,000, supporting various Your Siblings and Engineers Without Borders projects in Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania. You can already see the progress of the (now completely funded) Your Siblings projects here and in the video below:
A clinic in Uganda
The Green Village in Burundi
Widows and Orphans Project in Tanzania
The Safe Project Orphanage in Uganda
I would also like to post this video again, as it needs to be seen by everyone who helped in any way. There are many things I would like to say, but it speaks better than I ever could.
Something truly beautiful happened, and I hope we can keep going in this direction!
Now I'm done with the sap, so read on for the technical details:
Charity album 3: A BEAUTIFUL HEART
Deadline: July 7th, 2013
Genre: EVERYTHING
What you can submit:
Equineness: Pony and non-pony are equally welcome.
Original work only: no copyrighted material (remixes, samples) can be used, for legal reasons. Collabs are encouraged!
Theme: It looks like the name usually shapes the overall mood of the album, but there are no real restrictions besides common sense. Don't make anything angry, creepy or overly depressing (but sad can be fine) and your song should have no problem fitting in.
Multiplicity: You can submit as many songs as you want! Two songs from the same artist can get in without any problem, but over that number (excluding collabs), we may only take the best two of them, unless they're all exceptional. No length restriction either, as long as it's good enough to sustain its length.
How to submit:
Please send an email to [email protected], with the subject “[ABH]” followed by your username, and include the following:
- An mp3 file on minus.com(easier) or box.com
- A lossless file (preferably flac or aiff) uploaded somewhere. I tend to see a lot of Dropbox links dying for some reason, so please be careful.
- A link for credit (Youtube channel, Soundcloud, etc..)
- Lyrics, if applicable.
You can upload your song on Youtube (without download links) when the album is released, but please do not make your song public until then. However, feel free to upload previews or ask for feedback!
More info on the charity:
The policy of our partner, Your Siblings, is to cover all travel and personal costs as well as money transfer fees independently from donations, so that 100% of what you give will be spent exclusively on the projects. Moreover, every project they support was founded by locals, is run by locals, and will break free from outside aid after this initial impulse. More information on Your Siblings and their projects can be found on their website.
Let's do this!
