DIY music used to consist of a C30 cassette of tunes which you'd recorded on a 4-track in your shed. You scrawled on it with some biro, or a felt tip if you were posh, shoved it in a jiffy bag and sent it to John Peel. But now, it's different, isn't it. Yes, it is. The Schema challenge is to record, distribute and promote a single from my bedroom in a 30-day timeframe. The resulting yacht-rock spectacular is called Those Rules You Made, and is released under the name The Schema on 20th August, via iTunes and a load of other online stores.

Whether this is because we believe that a little mystery goes a long way, or because we're trying to avoid the hilarious world of band photography where everyone stands moodily in a line and pretends they're about to start a revolution, or because there's an outbreak of acne on the bass player's chin, well, we'll let you think what you like. But music does need a visual aspect, and after spending 2 fruitless hours dicking about in Photoshop with this image (cost £2.35) we decided to haul in the professionals. It didn't cost much (£25, mates' rates) but then again, they didn't have to do much. One JPG image, tastefully colour-matched, nicely laid-out, kept simple, represents us, represents the song. Change the website to match, bingo. Total spend: £37.34. posted by The Schema at Monday, July 23, 2007   +=+=+
