FNGP is happy to announce the next project on board for FingerPaint. We are looking for sonic contributions from list members to be used at our discretion for our CD release "Loop This!" The loops can be ambient swirly material, bass lines, drum loops, rhythm tracks, vocal lines, samples, melodies, anything....it is up to the contributor. (All loops should contain only material created by the contributor, with sample clearance for our use.) Why are we doing this? It is a common notion that randomness is an indispensable ingredient of creative acts. In FingerPaint we begin our pieces by improvising loop(s). We use multiple JAM MEN, ECHPLEXI, & DIGITECH TIME MACHINES as well as multiple effects boxes and synths to create our loops. Then we play with this material and see what develops. Since distance and budgetary constraints prevent us from inviting other loopers directly into our studio, we are exploring this avenue as a way to begin working with other musicians. "Loop This!" will be released under the name of the FingerPaint Collective. IF we use your material, you will be fully credited on the CD, our web site and anywhere else we can infiltrate. Our two previous CD releases have generated several reviews and air play round the world. Also any one who's material makes it on the CD will receive 5 CD's to keep for the grandchildren.... When this project becomes financially solvent royalties will be paid out in accordance with the number of participants. Eventually we my be doing this with MP3 files posted directly to our site. A remix of this project is also possible. Let's explore. Send your material on DAT or CD to: FNGP PO BOX 5364 Takoma Park, MD 20913 Peace, Patrick Fingerpaint's New Release: IN THE LOOP ... an intelligent, stimulating mixture of mimimaist spacebeats and obscure samples layered upon a hypnotic illbient backdrop.
