Guitarist, bassists, drummers, a cappella madmen, producers, and random south side nomads came together at the 12th street park to go face to face with the camera.<br /><br />The first weekend of preliminary interviews will wrap up on Sunday. Interviews to continue through next weekend.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5733128630013776878-942106893841211414?l=theprojectpgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Project: Pittsburghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09556876964303454346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733128630013776878.post-50368702234173064952006-08-28T14:33:00.000-07:002006-08-28T14:50:55.906-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/5102/699844803468478/1600/PGH116c.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/5102/699844803468478/400/PGH116c.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What exaclty is The Project Pittsburgh?<br /><ul> <li>Album/Live Show/Documentary</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The idea is to gather around 50 musicians for different bands/styles of music to come up with original material to record an album.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Each group of 4 to 5 people come up with 10 minutes of material.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Every group gets 1 month to come up with the ten minutes of music for the album (roughly three songs or two longer songs).<br /></li> </ul> How are the bands assembled?<br /><ul> <li>We're having everyone meet on the 16th of September to meet and talk with eachother.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>After about an hour, everyone will fill out a form choosing who they want to work with.</li></ul>What is the form for? <ul> </ul> <ul> <li>The form will be broken down into categories by instrument/persons name/and a ranking.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>For instance, you talked to John Doe the bass player and think you would work well together. On the form you would write: BASS/JOHN DOE/#1.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>At the end of the night, we collect the forms and try to match everyone with their number one picks.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Then after everyone is matched up, it's up to your group from there to come up with the music.</li> </ul> Will this be recorded in a studio?<br /><ul> <li>Yes. The entire project consists of volunteers. Many of which have voluteered their time and studio for the project.</li> </ul> Where will the live show take place?<br /><ul> <li>This will be determined after the album is recorded.</li> </ul> Will there be a DVD?<br /><ul> <li>Yes. This is also a being filmed as a documentary, and after the recording will be a live show. We have interview footage of around 15 participating musicians currently.</li> </ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5733128630013776878-5036870223417306495?l=theprojectpgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Project: Pittsburghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09556876964303454346noreply@blogger.com2
