Everyone is invited to make music to the sound of the river and share with "The River" Soundcloud group. In time I will choose music that has inspired me and make a video to accompany it. All styles/genres of music are welcome.

To enter, download "The River" recording here, make some music and share it with the group: The River group on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Best, Arthur : )

Just wanted to give this a bump; I haven't decided a closing date yet but I'll give one more bump in a week so everyone has time to prepare.

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's music.

Thanks Pezz - your description is strange, but true : )

Originally I was going to make just one video; as we had only a few contributers I decided to make a video for everyone in the group as part of the editing process leading to the 'winning' video...I like all the tracks too which made the process enjoyable.

Most of the footage was taken during 3 shoots although I didn't have specific music in mind when framing the shots. Although similar scenes appear in different videos, these are usually alternate takes. I tried to guide the footage in the way the river guides water.

Please stop by later to see the remaining videos.
