As some of you might know, it’s National Novel Writing Month, a challenge where writers write a whole novel through the month of November. Well it’s also National Solo Album Month. The participants must write and record 28.99 mins of music in a month. Having participated in the 24 Hour Comic Book challenge last year, I support other artists who seek to push themselves to new levels.
So, for the purposes of NaSoAlMo, what exactly is a solo album?
An album of music you have written, played and recorded entirely by yourself*. The shortest inarguably awesome album that a lot of people have heard** is the first Ramones album, which is 29:09 long, so your solo album must be at least that long. Beyond that, its form and content are up to you.
Good luck to all the song writers.
