This is the overview for the Haiti relief album, which is organised on Newgrounds.
The idea is that we make an album together, and then sell that as much as possible. The money we earn from that goes out to help the people in Haiti, who have suffered from the heaviest earthquake in 200 years.

Proposal
To form a group of artists with the common goal of creating a musical album to release for public sale. Profits from this album will be donated to charitable organizations working to rebuild, recover and aid Haiti in the wake of the recent earthquake.
Organization
Mich and loansindi acting as project leaders, for the sake of organizational simplicity. Members of the project will sign up in a designated thread in the Newgrounds BBS as well as via PM to loansindi. This dual-method signup will provide both public feedback to the direction of the project and allow a detailed member list to be maintained. A signup is required prior to participation for the sake of keeping things organized.
With a signup an artist is doing two things:
- Declaring commitment to the project
- Making known their intended contribution. Obviously the project will require more than just musicians (regarding tasks in every aspect of production)
Let it be known that collaborative efforts are highly encouraged, so as to maximize the number of artists who can submit content to a relatively limited format. (Assume one 80 minute audio disc)
The Music
The music isn't constrained to a specific genre, style or content. Music should be at least marketable (that is to say, experimental and noise explorations are not appropriate for this project), but more importantly should be of high production value. The goal here is to put forward NG's very best musicianship in a positive light to create a product worth buying.
A panel will be formed of interested members to judge the 'quality' (purely in the sense of production value and marketability) and provide feedback to artists submitting music. Anticipate a panel of around five members. The panel will maintain musical diversity to assure the smallest bias possible
The goal
To create a high-quality album to sell both in the NG store and locally. Ideally a production run of duplicates will be created that can be distributed to project members to sell. Use of a service such as CDBaby to provide both physical sales over the internet and in stores, and also digital downloads (both on their own service and on popular music portals such as itunes).
The license
Any and all music you submit to the project is released to be used in any manner seen fit to promote and advance the project. You retain the rights to use the songs as you please. Consider the work sent to the project to be under a CC Attribute license.
