Twelve
The 100 Songs Project was launched in 2011 and garnered contributions from 72 talented bands and artists from around Brisbane, Queensland (Australia). The resulting 100 tracks, which were recorded over a period of 100 hours, serve to highlight the amazing songwriting coming out of the Sunshine State.
And it’s all happening again this year from May 20-25. To celebrate, twelve of the best songs from 2011 will be released this month on the “Twelve” compilation which was launched at the Brisbane Powerhouse on March 31.
Musicians and bands have now applied for 2012’s event which will see three studios at QUT’s Gasworks Studio operating for 16 hours a day-they’ll be able to participate in the project and record their song for free.
“The 100 Songs project is a key activity of QUT’s Independent Music Project which was formed to contribute meaningfully to the fabric of the music industry. 100 Songs lets us look at new models of doing business and creating real music with real artists and showing that locking musicians and other creatives in a room for 100 hours can result in some amazing music,” said project head Professor Phil Graham.
Last year’s event saw participating artists enjoy airplay on 4ZZZ, triple j and other local and national stations, with artists like Ben Salter, Art of Sleeping and Cold and Need also making the cut on the “Twelve” compilation.
The project is supported by a host of industry partners including MGM Distribution, Music Sales Australia, Sounds Like Brisbane, 4ZZZ, Q Music and Arts Queensland.
