MAGAZINE PLAYLISTS: 30 HOURS OF CHILLED OUT SOUNDS

The ROOM WITH A VIEW, temporary magazine store and relaxation area, will play 30 hours of “MAGAZINE PLAYLISTS” - each invited magazine is requested to programme 1 hour of music: be a part of it!

What do you need to do?

1. Confirm your interest ASAP by sending a mail to info@colophon2007.com
2. Create your playlist
3. Send us in your list (in order of appearance: name of the band / name of the track + url of the band, if you have it)
4. Copy the tracks on a CD (make sure all the tracks can be listened to/played on a regular cd-player)
5. Make sure the CD arrives before February 20th in Luxembourg : Colophon 2007, Playlists, PO Box 728 , L-2017 Luxembourg

We will create a 30-hour programme of music, and announce the creator for each one hour session “ XX magazine presents”.

Create a soundtrack to fit the environment! The area where the music will be played is full of light. People will want to read, drink, mingle and relax – so the music should be mellow and chilled out to set the tone. What would also be nice would be to include some tracks from local bands so the final result is a smorgasbord of international music (foreign delights for the ears)

As music is part of the creative process of many magazine publishers, we thought it would be nice to share some aural delights (to go with the visual) with the symposium visitors.
