WHAT'S THIS? (Read before posting.)
« on: August 28, 2018, 10:45:22 pm »
I am sure you are all familiar with the fact that we are all Residents.

Basic facts of life.

With all of us being Residents, we (The Residents) made the mondo cool I AM A RESIDENT! album. This leaves us but with one question:

WHAT NOW?

Well, why not keep going? Why not keep collaborating with our fellow Residents? This is where the forum comes in.

Introductions, Profiles And How To Make Them

Here's the standard template of what your introductory post and profile should look like. These should be their own separate posts, not comments on this thread.

Subject: (Your Username)'s Profile (State what kind(s) of artist you are.)
-
The Body Of Your Post

Your profile should follow these guidelines to keep the collaborative process easier to navigate. You can include other stuff, too, though.

  • Aliases, name (of you or maybe your group if you're representing a band or something. WHAT'S IN A NAME, ANYHOW?[/b]
    • What kind of art do you make? Are you a musician, a painter, a quilter, etc? State that first.
    • What kind of collaboration are you open to?
    • What inspires you?
    • Tell us about yourself.
    • Favorite Residents project? (optional, ha ha.)
    • Links to your website(s) such as your Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Instagram, etc. (Also optional.)

    Feel free to reply to this with questions.

I am Freek Kinkelaar, no need to hide behind a well-chosen, obscure/cool/vintage/sassy-sounding alias. This is me. I am a Resident.

I do music. Why not seek me out on www.freekkinkelaar.nl

I was/am very enthusiastic about the (initial?) idea of continue to collaborate with others as The Residents. It would be the ultimate concept to create a group (any group/any individual) that releases music/art as The Residents. Anyone able to use the name in honour and in spirit of what the original Residents started. The Residents would go on forever, through generations and generations. There would perhaps be several Residents, all over the world, like illicit children from the same parents. I admit, the idea is somewhat frightening, but also very appealing. It would, I think but of course I could be wrong, 100% in spirit with the concept of The Residents. Let's overturn the traditional idea of 'a band'. Why have only one Beatles or one Shostakovitch? Why mourn their deaths, when they could actively live on forever. Now I have to be honest, this idea appeals more to me than a 'simple' collaboration with others interested in the The Residents but under a different name. Why not start here with new Residents - know as The Residents?

I am on the I Am A Residents album, where I perform Boy In Love. In hindsight, I should perhaps have released that not as 'Freek Kinkelaar', but as 'The Residents'. Haha.

I want to suggest a slight addition to the template format. Can all users post their main instrument/craft/talent/etc. in the titles of their posts so users can easily scroll through the topics to find the collaborators they are looking for?

Artists, your introductions don't go in here. They go up as their own individual topics. Just a heads up.

Yeah, sure! I'll add that and modify current posts to fit that format.
