STORY:
Cobus Potgieter's initiative, the My Youtube Band Project idea brought together a fantastic group of supporters, a majority of them being musicians themselves. Around the end of June 2012, Timothy Fricke came up with the idea to do a collaboration of some kind while we wait for the band selection process - and since the Minotaur Project was always about looking for guest musicians, I jumped on the idea, wrote some music for it, and about two months later this EP-long video came to be as a result. We wanted to play with Cobus as well, so we used one of his videos without his consent (this video is supposed to be a surprise). It's the biggest collab I've ever done; probably the biggest of it's kind out there too (playing original, written music). I decided that this time I'd like to have the quotes done by our group, and also on as many languages as possible, to show how much physical distance is between us really.
We did this fur fun, without any financial support/need, just to have a good time playing together, using our home equipment, everyone what they had. No profit is intended from this, you can download the music for free!
