November has long (in Internet-time, anyway) been known as NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, in which participants attempt to write a 50,000-word novel in thirty days. This past November, Lacunae's Douglas Wolk initiated NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month, in which participants attempt to complete a solo album with a running time of at least 29:09 (the length of the first Ramones album, "the shortest inarguably awesome album" Wolk could think of offhand).
Anyway, time's up. Links to completed albums are available here.
If the NaSoAlMo albums are too polished for your tastes, check out the Album-A-Day project, which has documented the creation of 166 24-hour albums since 2001.
To complete the cycle, here's Douglas Wolk writing on Album-A-Day, for Spin. Labels: writing |
