“…(Music) should enrich the soul; it should teach spirituality by showing a person a portion of himself that he would not discover otherwise. It’s easy to rediscover part of yourself, but through art you can be shown a part of yourself that you never knew existed. That’s the real mission of art. The artist has to find something within himself that’s universal and which he can put into terms that are communicable to other people. The magic of it is that art can communicate to a person without his realizing it…enrichment, that’s the function of music.” – Bill Evans
Here at Web For Humanity, we’re all into enriching the soul, and believe it to be doubly good when it enriches the lives of others. Music has the potential to unite through messages infused in lyric and rhythm, and your message counts, which is why we’d like you to submit your piece to Music For Humanity on World AIDS Day, 2007.
We are calling for you to enter your piece to help us raise money for The Global Fund, an organisation dedicated to allocating the funds needed to combat AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis around the world.
Submissions to Music For Humanity are not genre-specific, as we believe that an eclectic range of styles embodies the dynamic nature of the human spirit. From classical to hip-hop; from heavy rock to electronica; from jazz to blues and on to pop – we’d love to hear the way that your music enriches the soul.
Submissions must be related to the overall theme of a common humanity, yet entries related to the specific topic of AIDS are highly encouraged.
To have yourself stand out more in The Blog Honour Roll, the catalogue for entrants of Music For Humanity’s World Aids Day 2007 event, please submit a short biography of any length up to 500 words, along with a photo/promo shot (can be a jacket design or flyer) of approximately 200 x 200 pixels in size.
All pieces will be voted upon by the Web For Humanity audience via online polling, for ultimate inclusion in the inaugural two-CD Music For Humanity boxed set, to be made available through online publisherLulu.com on December 10, 2007. 100% of all profits from the sale will be donated to The Global Fund.
Please be advised that profane or erotic content will not be linked to. All submissions must be entered no later than 11pm on Friday, November 30, 2007, for inclusion on the day. We look forward to your submission, and wish you good luck with your entry.
Submitting is easy! Simply send us a link to your podcast or music player by using our submission form. If you need us to host your music file due to bandwidth concerns, let us know. We’d be only too happy to help you out.
