ADD YOUR VOICES TO OUR SONG &
RAISE FUNDS FOR CANCER RESEARCH!
Our Composer, Dee, is currently walking the 800km Camino Frances Route and collecting voices as she traverses across France, Spain and Portugal.
We've teamed up with Dee's band 'Peachey Club Music' and we'll be adding voices to the song 'The Great Pageant of Life'. When the song is finished, we'll be giving 100% of proceeds to Australian Cancer Research Foundation. You can check out the legitimacy here.
What's the song about and why do we need 10,000- voices?
'The Great Pageant of Life' is a pop song about how scrolling on a mobile phone can lead to feeling disengaged. It tells a story of how 10,000 people are crammed into a stadium to see their favourite band but are more interested in getting the perfect shot/video rather than actually absorbing the moment, the music and the atmosphere. There is a refrain in the song 'Na Na Na Na!' that 10,000 fans sing. Think 'Hey Jude' and you've got the idea!
If you've ever found yourself going down a 'scroll-hole' on your mobile phone or tablet, this song is for you!
It's simple!
1. Record your video with you (and your friends) singing - wherever in the world you may be!
2. Upload your video
3. We'll let you know when the song is ready! Don't worry - there are no solo's - just your voice mixed with 10,000 others raising funds for Cancer Research.
