As some of you might know, I own and operate a small publishing house up here in Montreal. This last year, I decided that I would like to extend the parametres of the thing and begin a recording section to the whole venture. The first CD I am planning on producing and recording will be one that is entirely harmonica-based; in fact, it would be composed as a compilation of solo-harp tracks from between 10 to 20 different individuals (depending on the quality and quantity and diversity of materials gathered). I will set-out below the parametres of the compilation project and would ask, heartily, that, any of you all out there that might be interested please DO CONTACT ME about this whole matter. I plan to get the entire thing together by next summer-time complete the production. The specs follow, no derivations from them are possable or at all desired:
The individual tracks will all be
1 original material 2 played solely on harmonica(s) yes duets (only) are ALSO acceptable 3 played solely on harmonic-minor tuned harmonicas 4 all styles, approaches and as many diverse forms and ethnicities represented would be most desired; by ethnicities I refer more to the music itself than to the individuals playing that music

If there are any questions, please DO NOT HESITATE in contacting me about this project. I would like to add that as this is a small publishing/recording house I cannot afford to pay any advance stipends or anything of that nature but will clearly and fastidiously administer the copyrights and all legal-protection of both the recordings themselves AND the compositions. Whatever money made from the sale of these CDs will be EQUALLY divided between ALL MUSICIANS represented on the thing. I will, therefore, need to be kept up-to-date on the locations and/or contact numbers or addresses of the musicians so that I can get-out to them whatever moneys might come-on in this way.
