Download music, stamp out nuclear weapons.
Download music, pull the plug on nuclear power.
Sound too good to be true? Nope:
American folksinger Arlo Guthrie, a generous backer of the Nuclear-Free Future Award ever since its beginnings in 1998, has done all the serious brainstorming needed to create a "Music for a Nuclear-Free Future" Internet portal. Each downloaded tune will mean another seventy cents for those working to keep the uranium in the earth. So far, besides Arlo Guthrie, artists who plan to make a contribution include: Laurie Anderson, Bananafishbones, Jimmy Carl Black mit Behind The Mirror, Marie Boine, Eugene Chadbourne, Dullijöh, The Dubliners, Ecco Meinecke, Embryo, Limpe Fuchs, Geoff Goodman, Peter Gordon, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Sam Hinton, Hothouse Flowers, Andreas Koll, Claus Laugen, Georg Ringsgwandl, Buffy St. Marie, Hans Theessink, Konstantin Wecker, Williams Wetsox, Courtney Willimas, Nick Woodland, Wuide Wachl. Could you possibly join us?
Your Contribution
What we're looking for from you as an artist is
- some tune that has never been marketed… If you are an artist under exclusive contract with a major label, another possibility is to perform an alternate version of a piece that you have already brought out.
- A recording which is no longer available in stores ( and the copyright has reverted to you) is also welcome.
- Cool would be if the tune had something to do with our anti-nuclear thematic, or about caring for the earth and the environment, war & peace and the generations to come.
- Extra cool would be if someone felt inspired enough to head for the studio to create a new piece.
- The Music for a Nuclear-Free Future collection will reach out in every musical direction - instrumentals are also invited.
- We need the material on CD or DAT
- The minimum presence of your downloadable material on the website should be 6 months, though we would appreciate 1 year. Individual conditions can be negotiated, of course.
- O! and please send photo material for the press conferences and the web! If you have a website, let's link up.
- Please, include a few words (or many more!) about the piece and yourself.
- The copyright form can be found here. Please return it filled out and signed together with your material.
Lastly, perhaps you know of some other musician or group who would be interested in donating pieces? Please inform us and we'll rush into contact!
Thank you!
