Looking for Bloggers!

One year ago Designing Sound was a site with around 7k of visitors each month. Today the numbers are almost at 50k. While this amount is not the reason why I run this project, it means one thing: the online community has grown.

Many things have started to happen around us, each day I find more and more information, and there’s more people interested to share their ideas. Since I also have ideas for new sections, new ways to share more stuff, and also want to open the site more, I’ve concluded that this adventure would be better if more people work with me on it, not only because I don’t have time for expanding the content by myself. It’s simply because I think that Designing Sound would be highly benefited if more minds contribute on it.

And what do you get? I’ll be honest. Besides my passion, there is a “hidden” reason for all of this: I’m not agree with the model of formal education and I feel this as a mission. Think about this as an antenna created for letting us share knowledge together, in a free way, as I think it should be.

I don’t want to go deep on this because it’s more a personal opinion. I just want you to consider that there’s no money behind anything here. We’re just friends sharing cool things and learning from each other, so, the offer is not a “paid job”, at least with money. This is more like an adventure. I can tell you, what this project has given to me is not comparable with anything.

It’s about sharing your own ideas to lots of people that loves sound as you do. It’s about meeting really inspiring persons, learning new tricks, changing tour vision each day. It’s just about expanding your own mind in so many ways.

If that sounds cool for you and you think you can commit to dedicate a daily amount of time on this project, let’s send me an e-mail to miguel[at]designingsound[dot]org with only these things on the message:

• Your name + an “about me” (Whatever you want to tell me about yourself) + What you do with sound (Doesn’t matter how professionally it is or how experienced you’re)
• Why are you interested on being blogger here?
• Tell me in 10 words what is sound design for you.
• Let’s say that a sound designer you admire is in front of you. You can only make 3 questions. What would you ask to that person?

I’m not interested to judge if your point is good or bad. That would not make sense for me. Just make me want to include you in this project. That’s all.

I’m planning to choose two or three persons initially, but could be more. We’ll see depending on the amount of submissions. I look forward to your messages! Deadline is Apr 15.
