The Week Of Work

This week has been all about my latest project that I still have to name........yes I still don’t have a name. The truth is, I'm working flat out and my body needs to sleep for some crazy reason, ludicrous I know!

What names do I have on the drawing bored?
Well despite not having picked a name or even a logo I have had plenty of ideas playing around with the English language and similarities in words such as ear and hear. Having said that these are the names that have been put onto paper to play around with:

- Ear forever - Right Ear Right Now - Easy Listener - Living As A Local -
- Ear A Little, Like A Lot - Fallen On Local Ears - Listen Ear - Ear Support -

As you can tell I'm a little stuck on the idea of using ear ha ha, so other than finding out the many different ways I can use the word ear, what else have I been up to? Well I have been getting stuck in to contacting the local musicians through email, social networking and the trusted telephone/mobile. Then explaining the project and getting as many on board as possible.

For those of you reading this and thinking ‘what the hell is he on about’ here is a copy of the email I'm sending around to musicians:

“Hello, I’m Adam Breedon and I’m running a group called OSOM, the aim is to get the interest back in to Leicester's local music scene. The project I’m working on now is aimed at getting local music into places you as a band/artist would never be able to play e.g. shops, bars etc. I’m going to do this by compiling CD’s that individual venues will have to play through their PA systems, and these CD’s will be changed every week.
One of the other really nice things being incorporated into the CD is ‘tag lines’ from the bands e.g. ‘hi we are ………. And this is our new single ………. And you’re listing in the one and only ………’

So I would like to know if you’re interested in jumping on board.
Everyone involved in the project including myself make no money from this and the CD’s will not be sold to the different venues.
This is purely for getting the music back out there and getting the interest back into the local music scene.”

The responses have been phenomenal to say the least and nobody has actually said no, some have been a little dubious and hesitant in entrusting me with their music but gradually have come round to the idea after hearing of the many other musicians already actively involved in the project.

As things stand the project is on track, running to schedule and the first phase shall be completed within two to two and a half weeks, playing in local venues around Leicester.
More details to follow next week including the processes and my amazing sound engineer Nick Rose and his newly established recording company Raindrop Records.
Well that’s it for now, its back off to chase up bands and then a little more chasing up lol.

Have fun and enjoy
