03................Melephone
OPEN
DEADLINE
Remember
the fun game called Telephone, where you whisper a sentence in your friend’s
ear and they tell the next person, and so on? This is a musical version of that
game. A participant will create a song (or part of a song), then pass it on
to the next person, who will pass it along again. The song will pass through
the ears of all participants of the Melephone game. Songs may be passed through
snail mail, internet, or telephone as a recording or played live. As a recipiant
of a song, you get only one chance to listen to the music. Each stage will be
documented either by a recording or description to be displayed on Greatmiddlewest.
Depending on interest, there may be more than one round of Melephone. If you
are interested in this game, please send us an email ASAP. We will compile a
list of participants and get the ball rolling.
