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...

Of course, this format is completely outdated, and we may just as well have recorded just the one song if we're going to release it on the internet. But, as Isaac Newton put it, for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction, which was relevant when I started typing that sentence. You can't be a band on the internet without a MySpace page. That's like being a chef without a stove, or a football player without an offensive wife. So here it is. You can hear the tunes, ta-daa. But you can't have them yet, oh no. Streaming only. We're nothing if not tight-fisted. There's also a Garageband page, here. I'm a bit suspicious of Garageband, though, as they're already trying to persuade us to part with $19.99 to enter Those Rules You Made into some kind of song contest. We're fans of Eurovision, but I don't think Bucks Fizz or Lordi had to shell out $19.99. We'll ponder this one. Total spend: £9.99. posted by The Schema at Sunday, July 22, 2007   +=+=+
