Hi Jim. Good to hear from you.
initially, i intended for this to be for the sheer fun and love of it, but i think we have to recoup at least some of the cost somehow (e.g. production and replication costs, printing, etc). the idea is to pool together regular forum members, record them, and release the album commercially.
re participating bands, jepoy and i kinda discussed about having professional as well as amateur bands in the album. genre will of course be mixed. heck i was even thinking of featuring a jpmb and bea lao drum duet (since they have been talking about this in the threads some time ago). now the question, i suppose, is, will this be a musician's album, or a mainstream album
i was thinking that, yes, since this is a Philmusic album, you and chette have to be directly involved with the project from start to finish. exec producers, yeah.
fourth question, i have no idea yet. a number of us have recording studios so we can distribute the work among those who want to participate. re the cost, pwede naman after sales nalang siguro kung walang pang fund ngayon since initially we're all doing this for the fun of it. this is also to promote camaraderie and to channel our energies into creating something good instead of argue and bicker like we used to the past months.
re internet distribution, i spoose this will cut the cost drastically. kaso the album will be available to those with internet access mostly. maybe we can do a cd version (limited copies, say 500) and then electronic version
everyone, feel free to suggest. jim, i will repost some of the points i made earlier and hopefully you and chette can sift through them.
