Album In A Day
volume 3 - 13 August 2011
Release date: 15 August 2011
BFW149
Total running time: 2:49:05
the album features extensive cover art including lyrics from the album.
On Saturday 13 August 2011, musicians from around the world each wrote and recorded a new song, completely and from scratch in one day.
The next day, those songs were collected together as an album.
On Monday 15 August 2011, the album was released as a free download by BFW recordings under a Creative Commons licence (click for more details).
The last two times we have done this has been a huge success - albums of original new ambient, electronica, indie and much more, and this album is no exception.
It's a huge album so be patient as it downloads, then sit and enjoy nearly 3 hours of completely new music from around the world, all written and recorded in one day, 13 August 2011.
By the way, as this project is so popular, we will be doing this again on 7th April 2012.

Someone give this man a refund, he's obviously been ripped off.

Sorry but instead of making music fast in one day you should do it the slow
way - you really can hear that it was done in just one day because of the
low quality.
Much music is far away from complete and sounds just lousy and is far away from a real track. Some music contains pink noise and harsh static noise. And one in one song: was this really somebody singing ? If so it was really really bad.
And most music isn't even mastered right? You can hear it because it is really dull.
It is a nice idea to give free music, right. But for a netlabel supporting such a poor quality - come on.

Brilliant stuff from everyone. Just finished up listening to it. Lot's of
different styles, yet it all seems fairly coherent with each other. Some
tracks that stick out in my mind are Piotro, i AM esper, Glacial, Tange,
Anthing, Poodleplay Arkestra, and Bing's tune. Great work from everyone.
