OPEN CALL FORTUNE. For exciting Indian music producers. Deadline 30 April 2022.
FORTUNE is a new theatre performance. An interdisciplinary cross-cultural co-production between Navdhara India Dance Theatre (India), Club Guy & Roni (Netherlands) and Slagwerk Den Haag (percussion group The Hague) (Netherlands). They are individually, one of the best in their fields in their respective countries and make a strong team to deliver a world class, thought provoking work. The work will be co-directed and co-choreographed by Guy Weizman, Roni Haver and Ashley Lobo.
The Fortune open call is directed at Indian music producers. You’re asked to create a 1-2 minute track, using the ‘FORTUNE’S SOUND BANK’ from Slagwerk Den Haag. If selected, those tracks will be incorporated in FORTUNE’s musical composition. About 20 different tracks will be selected.
How to participate?
You will get a link to download “FORTUNE’S SOUND BANK”. You are ready to start creating.
Create
Fortune’s sound bank comprises part of our arsenal of percussion instruments. We expect you to use some sounds of our Fortune’s sound bank and mix them with sounds and rhythms of your own. Which sounds and ideas you will use from our Fortune’s sound bank is entirely up to you. We don’t expect you to use only our sounds, but if that is your choice, go for it. You can watch our Slagwerk Den Haag videos as an inspiration.
Upload
The deadline to submit your tracks (MP3 format) is 30 April 2022. Selected tracks must be submitted as final tracks and stems separately in 48khz 24bits.
