SEEKING everybody: A Tribute to Hardy Fox
By: Meisekimiu Date: October 31, 2018, 12:21 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi folks. After Hardy Fox's website updated last month with the
"1945-2018" dates on it, I highly considered starting this
project but ultimately decided to hold back. I'm like that... I
get intimidated by my own project ideas and then never do them.
My regret now is that I didn't start this project back then and
unfortunately now Hardy Fox will never be able to see or hear
it. I guess the best time to have started this project was back
then, but the next best time to start it is now.
What is the project?
I wish to construct a tribute album dedicated to the late Hardy
Fox. Essentially, it'll work similarly to the "I Am A Resident!"
thing. You just submit your song and it goes on the album!
That's it! We'll then compile the album together and you'll be
able to stream or download it for free on the internet.
Well, it'll be a bit more complicated than that
My vision for this project includes the way the streaming
content is presented. You see, this project is a way to
celebrate Hardy Fox and express our gratitude for him and his
art. The way I initially conceived this project (and how I still
want the final product to be like) is that the entire album is a
"web experience". When you stream it online on the site I'll be
hosting it on, each track will be paired with text and/or visual
art by the original track artist with their thank yous to the
late Hardy Fox. In a way the album itself will be a big thank
you card to Hardy Fox, but each track will come with what is
more literally a thank you card. Of course, Hardy is not with us
anymore so he cannot personally read them without spiritual
intervention, but I still believe that there's something a bit
romantic about creating a tribute like this, regardless if he
can see it from the afterlife or we're making our expressions of
gratitude into the void.
Think of it this way: the website will basically be like liner
notes that load up with each song, where the liner notes are
your messages and optional art.
How do I contribute?
Check out the submission form
HTML https://meiseki.mew151.net/hardyfox/
to submit a song, visual
art, or a thank you note.
This project isn't just limited to the forum! Please share the
URL:
HTML https://meiseki.mew151.net/hardyfox/
Guidelines:
[quote][list type=decimal]
[li]The song must be related to Hardy Fox in some way (duh!).
You can cover his own songs, cover his work with The Residents,
or even write your own song that is about him in some way. Try
to stay away from just generic Residents covers, although I'm
not going to not accept your submission. Basically I just want
you to not reupload your IAAR submission since I want this to be
its own distinct thing.[/li]
[li]You have to agree to let me distribute your song for free.
It will be up for free download and streaming. Also that means
that it has to be possible to legally distribute your song for
free.[/li]
[li]You have to include all required fields (track title, artist
name, thank you message) with your song or it will not be
accepted[/li]
[/list][/quote]
Also as a note if we somehow get a ridiculous number of
contributions, I will probably pick a good number tracks to be
part of a "main" album and include the rest of the tracks to
listen to elsewhere.
I'm not a musician! Can I contribute in some way?
YES please! I'd like this album to be visual so if you can
provide any visual art I'd be happy to try to include it
somewhere in the presentation of it! Also we need album art!
BUT what if you aren't talented at the arts at all??? I still
want you to contribute! I want to collect Thank You notes from
EVERYONE and find some way to compile them on the front page of
the album. Or somewhere else. I don't really know yet, I feel
like this project will evolve depending on how active it is.
Stay tuned for a general thank you note contribution form.
Alright but what will YOU be doing?
In a way I'm afraid of making art and in a way I subscribe
heavily to the theory of obscurity; when I do make art I do not
announce it and just put it somewhere quietly to maybe be
discovered one day. But for this project I will try to record a
track and put it out! I mean, it'd be kind of weird for the
person running this whole thing not to do that, right? Even The
Residents snuck "Doors" into "I Am A Resident!", right? I've
asked myself a never known question and in this case I'm
dedicated to SHOWING my art instead of just being shown for
once.
I'll also be "producing" this project in general. I'll probably
compile the final album and I'll also be developing the website
that presents this album with all the art and thank you notes. I
will also be working with some friends who aren't on this forum
but are a bit more musically passionate than me in trying to
create an intro and outro to the album as a whole. I'll ask for
additional help if we need it though!
[hr]
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Thank you for reading
this giant post and I hope that you'll find the inspiration to
contribute in some way! I'm asking everyone to contribute in
some way, even if you just contribute words of gratitude! Please
ask any questions here! If this thing actually gets some steam,
I'll also post updates and ask questions so we can guide this
idea to its final destination together!

Hi so one of my bands has been wanting to do our own tribute and
would like to be a part of this but we haven't recorded yet. Do
you have a deadline in mind for the submissions?

Don't have a deadline yet. I'll probably think of a hard
deadline once I've gotten my butt into gear and start working on
it. :P

Thank you Hardy Fox for the wonderful melodies, my perception of
music and art was greatly influenced by your work and attitude.
