VOICEBLITZ IS OPENED NOW. RAISE YOUR VOICES!

Hey everyone!

We hope, that you're enjoying your Sunday right now and are having a great day. Though it's not very sunny in Berlin -- we have an enthusiastic spirit and ready to go to the next task, Voiceblitz!

Honestly, it's not easy to manage all of the technical things 'behind the scenes' of #Songblitz, there's literally me and Mark doing most of the technical stuff. But the whole idea, unpredictability, the flow of it makes us excited to go on. And of course, our extremely responsive team and your feedback.

So thank you for watching our Live Broadcast on Friday, taking part in Musicblitz, listening, commenting and following us through this campaign! Your feedback is essential for us to go on doing what we do.

Thank you for the inspiration.

So, let's skip now directly to the next task. In our first Live Broadcast last Friday we've revealed, that after listening to all of your beautiful musical submissions and building the arrangement in literally 30 mins, we were inspired for a decision to make a cover version of The Smiths song "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out". The vocal melody just sat so perfectly on top of the final arrangement. 

The idea came spontaneously, and we consider it a good sign. 

So now that we had to reschedule a little bit the whole timing and kick out the Lyricblitz part, we can go directly to Voiceblitz. 

We are waiting for you to record your voices and send us to voiceblitz@fourphonica.com

Please follow the instructions here.
