I've always been fascinated by working within constraints. That's one reason I enjoy poetry. There are set rules and you have to create something compelling from the limited supply of words/stanzas etc., but within those same constraints you are free to do absolutely anything you want. It makes you think about what you're saying and how to say it differently and compellingly. You often find yourself making connections you never would have if you had no rules to adhere to. 24HR Records is based on similar, very tight constraints.
Within a 24 hour period, they bring together artists that have never worked together, put them in a studio and have them create a three song album. The results are pretty fantastic (though I think they rely a little too much on reverb-heavy vocals)! Do yourself a favor and check out their website after you listen to this week's playlist.
Have a great weekend!
