Globally Accessible Album Project

how it works

Eight songs are being created out of the recordings of every participant.

A simple playback per song defines the musical basis. You can sing along, play solos, chords, transitions – whatever you like.

After recording and uploading your audio, all submissions will be arranged and mixed.

share the result

The finished album will be published on all music streaming platforms.

If you enter your social media links, you can re-post and be re-posted in all future photos and videos tagged #thesharedritual.

Share the album and be listened to within the communities of all other participants.

Take part now by following these steps:

1. Choose a playback and download it

The instrumental playback is the foundation of each album song. Tempo and key are defined within the playback name. Choose and download your favourite one on SoundCloud.

2. Play along and record your audio

Pick up your instrument and add your magic to the playback. Record your parts. For technical details, download the Instruction Details (PDF).

You can even make me extra happy and send a video of you playing. This can be used for social media promotion if you agree.

3. Submit your audio

Fill in the following form with some basic information. This is needed to keep track of who played what – and for promotional purposes.

After submitting the form, you will recieve an email with the upload-link to upload your audio file(s).
