Mash it up!
With all the buzz surrounding our latest release, Christine Balfa Plays the Triangle, we couldn’t help but have a little fun with it. We’re hoping fans, musicians, and others who were just kind of accidentally exposed to this can help!
One thing is undeniable about Christine Balfa’s Triangle playing—she’s got skills. Reviewers from The New York Times to offBeat Magazine to about.com have sung her praises based on this release. While intended as a gag, the album’s usefulness as a glorified metronome cannot be denied.
Now is your chance to have Christine Balfa in your rhythm section. We are asking you to make a song for us. Using the hit single from the Triangle album, The Balfa Waltz, we want you to show us what you can do. That doesn’t mean just play the actual Balfa Waltz with Christine’s track mixed in, it means make up something completely original. It can be Folk, Rock, Indie, House, whatever you want! Heck, even if you’re a complete amateur with a Mac, throw it in Garage Band and sing us your crappy lovesong you wrote for that girl in high school that was way out of your league.
What do you get if you win? A check for a whopping $100 dollars, the full Valcour catalog (6 albums), and who knows, maybe we can get you some air time with our trusted radio friends. No guarantees on that last part, but we’ll try! Just consider this the inflated Valcour stimulus package. Our little way of helping out in troubled economic times.
Regardless, we’ll post the top four or five songs right here on our website, as well as links from our Myspace and Facebook pages, just to make it official.
