Non Credo tribute-album: artists wanted

Good news everyone! Joe just posted this blog/news item on the Non Credo myspace page, hope it will boost the project a bit:

Want to do a cover of a Non Credo song?

Here's the deal: There's this guy in Sweden, Alexis Erisian, who has a label called Kallisti Gold. Alexis is interested in gathering recordings of people doing covers of Non Credo songs to put together a tribute collection called Non Credo Re-imagined. This is his idea, not ours. Our egos are healthy, but we'd never dream up a notion such as this! We're all for it, though, and are very flattered and will give him our full cooperation and support.

He has done a few tracks on his own and sent them to us, and they're quite good. Very interesting deconstructions using some sampling and other dismantling of our music. It's a great start. He needs many more contributions to complete this thing, so we would like to offer the project to anyone who is interested.

Kallisti Gold will release the final results as free to download and distribute to all under a Creative Commons license. What we would like to do is possibly also do a limited run CD-R pressing on our label, since we are old fashioned and like to hold things in our shaky hands. This is not a for sure, but it would be nice to also have a hard copy of the collection to sell, etc. We would work out the details when the time comes.

You can see more details and get in touch with Alexis at Kallisti Gold via his website:

Since many of you may not be very familiar with our music, you can go here to listen to examples of most of our songs.

Yes, this is a place where you can buy our music, but the point is that you can also just listen. We're not trying to sell more product. If you decide that there is a song you want to do a cover of and you don't already own a copy, let us know and we'll send you an mp3 of the whole tune. Free, of course. We'll even send lyrics and chord charts if you want (assuming we can figure it out!).

Write us here or write to Alexis if you're interested or want more info. Leave it to the Swedes!
Best,
Non Credo

ps. I can't believe how cool these guys are, sending out free songs and possibly even pressing their own cd of the album /Alexis

Kallisti Gold (recordings) are cleared to do a tribute-album for Non Credo, so if you'd like to cover one of their songs please get in touch.

Regarding the use of samples in your cover song(s) Joseph Berardi of the duo wrote:
"It’s ok to use samples, but it would be nice if you changed them to make them less recognizable, more transformed. But we don’t want to tell anyone how to create, so do it however you like. We don’t mind. If this was going to be a commercial release, I suppose we would have to work out some agreement on the use of the samples, but for now, with what you have planned, it’s fine."

The album will be released within a year or so, free to download and distribute to all under a Creative Commons license.
