About Me
What the hell is Bring Your Own? I hear you ask
Well, it's sort of an experiment to see just how much musical value there can be in everyday sounds that you might not think about dancing to. And you are invited to join in!
Basically all you need to do find a noise somewhere online or one you have recorded yourself, and either send it to byobeats @ beatfeast.com or post a link on this page. Once I have sufficient samples I'll cobble them together to make a tune.
This experiment relies on your participation so get your samples in now! They can be anything from the soothing rush of wind in the trees to the hardcore gabba pounds of your granny's beatboxing...
Happy sampling!
