Across A Field

This tree is dead. Due to long delays, etc it never crossed to America. I encourage everyone to return their discs.

First off, this isn't to be seen as "competition" for the other tree sites. I would have liked to have seen these shows treed by them, but they seem to be busy right now, so I'm going it alone!

My possible next project is to start a "free tree" site - I'd run one tree every two months or so where people would send shows to their branches for free (not as a trade, not even as a B+P!). Everybody who joined would have to be willing to burn for 2 branches for free. Of course, they'd get their show for free too, so it wouldn't be too much of a burden. Then the next time I ran a free tree, the people who were branches for the first one would become leaves for the next and vice versa. Anyone interested in this concept and with any questions or further points can mail me.

Shows

Two of the recent European festivals - a broadcast show and an audience recording. I don't expect demand for these to be high outside of Europe, but hey, I could be surprised!

 2. Round Here

HISTORY: TV (Mr Jones, Round Here) and FM (Others) broadcast. Recorded straight to CD by a standalone recorder. Ripped to WAV files. Normalised, Equalised and Fading in CoolEdit Pro. Burned Disc-At-Once using Nero. History of Filler is unknown, but it sounds good!

Rules

Rules are basically the same as other trees...

• Do not encode these as MP3s yet - these are nice digital recordings. Once the tree is over feel free to upload them as MP3s, but until then, digital they shall stay.
• Copy the CDs in Disc At Once mode... This is important!
• Do not sell these shows... ever!
• All trades must be B+P or straight trades - no 2:1s.
• Branches must be able to burn for at least 3 leaves.
• There will be cover art up at this site. I would appreciate distribution of these CDs to be with cover art, but it is not 100% essential.

Time Line

2 July: Tree Signups Open.
9 July: Tree Signups Close.
10 August: Tree starts running (estimate!)
23 August: Tree actually starts running! I had a number of problems with Glastonbury - I had taped it, but needed to get someone else to do a proper digital transfer to CD, as I could only do an analogue transfer... anyway, suffice to say there were problems and it ended up with my copy getting sent to the wrong address. Anyway, got it this morning, which is what counts and have sent both shows off to the main branches.

Tree Structure

Example

In this example, Albert is the main branch. Through trades or B+Ps he supplies copies of the shows to Betty and Boris (secondary branches). In turn, Betty supplies a copy of the shows to Claire, Carrie and Carl. Boris doesn't need to supply copies to anyone.

• Albert Angusson
  • Betty Boo
    • Claire Carver
    • Carrie Case
    • Carl Cuthbert
  • Boris Black
