On Friday, August 5, 2011, SpinTunes (@SpinTunes) contestants, past and present, will be joining me, live, on the Geeky Pleasures Radio Show over at The Look 24/7 (@TheLook247).
We will be discussing all things SpinTunes and what it is like participate in this type of competition, the pros and the cons, the overall creative process and more.
The interview will begin at 7 pm PT/ 10 pm ET/ 3 am in the UK and will end whenever we run out of things to talk about. We invite you to tune-in here and join us in chat here.
Below, you’ll find very brief bios of those who will be joining me. There are a few more guests who may decide to jump into the conversation.
Mark S. Meritt (@theoffhandband) - The Offhand Band: OHB is Mark S. Meritt. He began with a kids CD. SpinTunes #1 drove him beyond family-friendliness. Just as well. Mark has written musicals & screenplays that agents represented, performed piano on national TV including once with Rosie O’Donnell, & received honors & citations for academic work on sustainability. He teaches the revolutionary Simply Music piano method, is a keyboardist for the Mop & Bucket improv theatre company, & offers unique creativity services through http://potluckcreativearts.com/.
Dave Leigh (@Dr_Lindyke) - Dr Lindyke: This amalgam of Dave Leigh and William Hoover judged SpinTunes #2 and is ready to pay their penance in SpinTunes #3. Here’s a proper bio: http://music.cratchit.org/p/bio.html
Matt and Donna (@sh00bs) - Matt and Donna didn’t know each other growing up, but coincidentally played the same instruments as children: piano and trumpet. After learning this they found they also happen to have a lot of other things in common, and since each deemed the other to be awesome, they got married in 2008. Matt and Donna both have some training in voice and piano but prefer to willfully ignore that training and do whatever they want musically because that’s fun.
Bryce Jensen (@psychobman) - Bryce Jensen spends the bulk of his time in a dark, musty corner of his New England home, lurking in forums and chat rooms by the faint light of an old, dusty computer monitor. Occasionally, he writes and records a song. The result is usually so horrible that he must immediately delete it and pound his head repeatedly into the hardwood floor until the memory of it is but a faint, vile echo. In very rare instances, in the midst of delusions of mediocrity, he obeys the voices and posts one online. Visit his website at http://www.brycejensen.com/
We hope to see you there!
