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. My name is Rhodri, and this is the story...

Domain Master

So, a website and a band is born. Thanks to Freeparking, we've got the domain www.schema.co.uk for 2 years. I'm not sure we'll need it for 2 years, but there you go. Webhosting courtesy of Dreamhost, which we already have an account with, so costs nothing to stick another site on the plan. There you go, our very own web presence, for under a tenner. The blog system is done via the freebie system at Blogger, which is owned by Google, so, uh, so much for DIY, we've got the multinationals involved at the first hurdle. Brilliant. Total spend: £9.99.
