- Every month for one year I will devise, write, and record a new song.
- The song must be inspired by the unique nature of that month, i.e. by physical and/or emotional events which have occurred during that month, to me or to others. If the song does not respond to that unique month it is not permissible; a Calendar Song is never ‘just a song I wrote in a month’.
- I will only use the equipment at my disposal: a piano, a microphone, a computer. Calendar Songs will always be a vocal and a simple backing track, which you can download as separate files.
- I will publish the songs as mp3 files under a Creative Commons license on this website for others to remix, re-edit, and re-fit however they want. Any musical style or genre, from electronica to bluegrass to dubstep...
- Anyone who downloads a Calendar Song must share their remix with the Calendar Songs community as an mp3 file, here on this website.
- At the end of one year Calendar Songs will make an album.
