February is almost here and you know what that means. Time for the RPM Challenge. An annual dare of sorts. A dare that asks you “Do you have what it takes to make an album in February?” We have written about this idea before because it is awesome and you should totally do it. Here’s the basic idea.
Record an Album in 28 days because you can.
That’s 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February.
Don’t wait for inspiration – taking action puts you in a position to get inspired…
Anyone can come up with an excuse to say “no,” so don’t. Many of you are thinking “But, I can’t do that! I don’t have any songs/recording gear/money/blah blah blah…” But this doesn’t have to be the album, it’s just an album. Remember, this is an artistic exercise. Just do your best using what you have in order to get it done… Use the limitations of time and gear as an opportunity to explore things you might not try otherwise…. (more @RPM Challenge)
Great art doesn’t always start from the most comfortable places. Sometimes we need someone to light a fire under our asses to start moving. Twenty eight days should get your ass moving.
I’ve done it before and it was a ton of challenging fun. Also I’ve started a Facebook Group to share the RPM Challenge between friends. If you want in on the group let me know. Good luck.
