Come join the band!
LET’S START A BAND…ONLINE!
Dear friend and former vocalist/musician with Younger Generation Church, Elia King has composed a song to which he is inviting you to participate: “Think of this as sort of a “global municipal band” coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance.”
Here are the details:
1. Record yourself singing or playing along with the guide track* (I'll post the video here tomorrow, but it's also available NOW for download on Dropbox). Video or audio recordings are both great. Video will help us to include more faces in the final video version. Audio is a great option for anyone who is camera shy. Please wear headphones. Earbuds are great. AirPods are great. Gigantic airplane landing crew headphones are also great. It might be helpful to wear only one earphone so you can hear yourself along with the track. It will help to keep the final product free from background noise. Bonus points if you can recruit some of the one’s you’re socially distancing with to sing or play along.
2. Lyrics, audio track (with and without click), video, and chord sheets are also available for download for free via Dropbox:

3. Upload your recording to Dropbox before 11:59 pm on April 7.

By submitting a recording, you are agreeing to have your name, face, and/or voice included in this recording. Recordings will not be used in any future recording or performance of the song without receiving your prior consent.
4. Share this with your network of friends. Tag anyone who you think would be interested in collaborating.
*For those interested, the track was recorded in the key of C with a click track set to 76 BPM using Logic Pro X. If you have a home studio setup and access to Logic Pro X, the Logic file is also available in the Dropbox folder linked above.
GET EVERYONE INVOLVED!
Hey everyone! I've heard from a few who are anxious about making recordings because they don't have access to studio gear or fancy cameras. Here's a quick example that I made with my kids to show how you can make your own recording using your phone or tablet. Again, the goal of this thing is not necessarily to make a pristine recording, but to create something together. Thanks for your willingness to be part of the project!
JUST A FEW SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS
Hey friends! Just a reminder that this Tuesday, April 7, is the deadline to submit your recordings! Thank you to everyone who has contributed something already. Looking forward to seeing what we will create together!
Remember Deadline is Tuesday
