A crash course in changing the world.
Calling All Musicians, Singers and Lyricists! Let's start an EVOKE BAND!!!
I am an artist.
I believe in the power of art and music to spread awareness and change people's lives for the better. So I'm starting this experiment in online collaboration and creativity. I just created a youtube channel called TheEvokeBand.
I uploaded a video of a song I just started to write inspired by EVOKE.
The problem is all I have are chords and a basic melody.
That's where you come in.
I want as many people in on this project as possible so if you'd like to support it please power vote and make a post linking to this blog post. (bonus points for sharing it on facebook to all your musician friends)
Here is the first song we will be working on:
Let me know what you think.
I'm going to need people to write lyrics (in different languages), play instruments, bang on percussion, and sing harmonies. I'll give each type of person more information on how to get involved in a bit.
The quick and dirty info is this.
You're going to need to play the video on headphones, record your part, then upload your video to youtube as a video response so I can download it and put it in the mix!!
This is probably going to be my Evokation... but I want to create a CD of the best songs we all create and sell it with the proceeds going to a charity for art and music in Africa.
Songs we are working on:
Again...
I want as many people in on this project as possible so if you'd like to support it please power vote and make a post linking to this blog post.
Thanks,
Justin.
btw. just to satisfy the mission, I'm going to say that I will be making music in 2020. Music that changes the world and makes people love one another more.
p.s. I must also give a shout out to Reema, for it was this post that inspired this movement:

Good work everyone, super excited to see what you all come up with.

Does it have to be a youtube video? Can I send you an mp3, or are you actually going to make a video including clips from everyone's videos?
-

Ideally. a video. but i'm open to mp3s and yes. I'm going to edit a video together. Or have someone else who knows how to edit do it. :D

Fourth of July on the Lake

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
