Wanna collaborate on a song for my upcoming Palaxy Tracks record? I'm just about finished with a song called "Slow Dancing" that has a long musical interlude in the middle. The instrumentation is really just a bed for more sounds — sounds that have yet to be created. I'll be spending some time creating and editing sound bites for this mid-section, but I thought it would be interesting to try crowd-sourcing some of these sounds, too. Any sounds I use will get full credit in the liner notes and a "performer" credit (meaning if by some stroke of totally-not-going-to-happen luck this song actually receives any royalties, you would get a small portion of those).
THE CONCEPT:
This song is about a home invasion that happened to me when I was a child. I was at my cousins' house with my sister. My aunt and mother left for a yard sale in the neighborhood, leaving the five children alone. A man drove into the garage with a gun in his lap (I was sitting on the kitchen counter and could see down into the garage through a window) and came in, searching the house. The five of us hid in the bathtub with the bathroom door locked. He found us and started violently kicking the door, but it was an old house with hearty doors, so he couldn't break through. He eventually left.
The idea for the mid section of the song is to create tension. The sounds I want added are just going to come and go in the mix. They can be anything: noisy, pretty, voices, guitars, glass, frightening, whatever. As long as it sounds good in the song!
The section in question runs from 0:45 to 2:05.

If you're interested in participating, email me () and let me know. You can also send any audio clips there, in any format you wish. Be sure to include your details.
Oh, and there is a video in the works for this tune. The concept for the video is different than it is for the song, but it matches the song in tone perfectly. Here are a few screenshots:
