Project Globalsound 2012

Music and sound unites, uplifts and inspires. In 2011 people joined together to create a sonic collage for peace, wellbeing and unity.

If you would like to take part in this project you are very welcome. You do not have to be a professional sound practitioner/therapist/healer or an accomplished musician – everyone is welcome - please read the submission instructions carefully to ensure your piece will be accepted. Our aim is to send a healing/wholing/loving/peaceful intention around the world, carried on our sound. From the smallest peep to the largest drum each and every sound is just as valid as the next, enabling each contributor to take part in this project in their own unique way. The sounds of nature are also welcome - this is a sonic collage so it will comprise many textures that will be woven together to make one unifying whole.

Clifford Sax and I will take your soundbytes and mix them into a track. I will be blogging, tweeting and Facebooking about the project as we go along and the final piece will be released on YouTube, my website and all around the world on 21.09.12. Please tell everyone about this project and if you can help with broadcasting and publicity please let me know.

If you are motivated to take part we need the following;

- 1 x mp3 file of a sound piece of 1 - 3 minutes duration. It is important that this is not multi-instrumental, although single melodic instruments such as a flute or sitar for example are fine. Vocals accompanying a drone such as a tampura or Himalayan bowl are also ok.

- 1 x photo of you or your group/community who created the piece

- Your town and country

- A word or two to accompany the piece – this could be a word such as ‘peace’ or ‘love’ or a short statement – only a few words max please.

The final piece will be presented as an audio track and on YouTube we hope to present images of the people who took part as well as the music. Email mail@healthysound.com or visit my website for more information.

By emailing your piece to me you are agreeing for your piece of sound to be included in the piece and any copywrite/reproduction laws are not applicable. You have given Lyz Cooper and Clifford Sax consent to use your sound piece within Project Globalsound only and that this piece will be broadcast worldwide on many sites and YouTube. You also give consent for your image and statement to be incorporated into a short film. If you are under 18 years of age or considered a vulnerable person we will need parental/guardian/carers consent to publish your image(s)
