DWFO: Martha Meets Shakespeare- open sign ups

Hello everyone!  The Doctor Who Fan Orchestra's current project, Martha Meets Shakespeare is now open for sign ups!   This post is a little late-the initial sign up post went out yesterday evening, but I was at Cleveland ConCoction, and didn't get a chance to post about it.  In the past, the sign up period has been short (they have to close sign ups at 500 participants), but I just checked the site, and as of this writing, sign ups were still open!



Don't wait too long! Come join us! :) DWFO Martha Meets Shakespeare Sign-ups

Also-don't forget our DWC monthly meet up is this Tuesday!

UPDATE 06/03/2014: Signups are closed at 500 participants.

DWFO #8: the 50th Anniversary Suite

In case you missed it, here's the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra's 8th presentation, the 50th Anniversary Suite!



Originally scheduled to be released before the 50th Anniversary, real life became rather busy for our fearless leader, Stephen Willis, so it was postponed to a later date. The final product was released on December 20th, and it was worth the wait!

And yes, that is Ben Foster (conductor) in the video!!!

Our next piece will be 'Martha Meets Shakespeare'. More details when the time comes (although honestly, if you want to take part-it's better to follow the DWFO on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube-because of the cutoff for the number of participants, by the time I see the video for new participants, it's already full!)

Enjoy!

DWFO 6: "A Christmas Carol (Suite)"

I didn't have a chance to post this before Christmas! Enjoy the latest effort from the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra!


Our next piece will be 'Amy's Suite'. I will post the promotional video as soon as signups are open!

Join the DWFO for the Christmas Carol (Suite)

Here it is! The promo for the next Doctor Who Fan Orchestra project!!

Note: once again, signups are limited to the first 600 applicants. Signups for TIA were only open for 6 days, and the folks who run thedwfo.org predict they will reach capacity even faster for this one. (earlier this morning they were already to the halfway mark!)

 If you do join and successfully submit a part, please let me know-I'd love to feature you in this blog! :-)

*UPDATE 10/04/2012*  : signups for the Christmas Carol (Suite) are now CLOSED at 600 participants!

Join the DWFO for The Impossible Astronaut (Suite)!

The Doctor Who Fan Orchestra is gearing up for our fifth collaboration!



Special note: Due to an unprecedented interest in The Impossible Astronaut, the sign ups will be limited to the first 600 applicants.

 From Stephen:

The DWFO will have to limit signups for The Impossible Astronaut to the first 600 applicants. It may fill up quickly! We apologize sincerely for this potential early closure to signups, but from your overwhelming response in these first days, we literally may not be able to handle all your requests! (We are as surprised as you may be!) Thank you for your interest!

DWFO #4: Dalek Suite

Just thought I would share the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra's latest work on the eve of the Grandview Theatre's showing of The Chase!

 The Dalek Suite!




 I would have to say this piece was the most fun to work on-and is one of my favorites. The next piece will be "The Impossible Astronaut Suite" and I'm really excited about this! The suite will include bits from "I Am the Doctor" (DWFO's first piece)-I didn't join the DWFO until the 2nd piece, but I really enjoyed "I Am the Doctor" Looking forward to playing at least part of it in the suite!

 We are always looking for new members! I'll be posting the next promo video as soon as it's available, but you can also follow our fearless leader Stephen on YouTube at socksofbalhoon. :)

Doctor Who Fan Orchestra (DWFO #3): Rose's Theme/Doomsday

This past summer, I joined the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra-an online collaborative project to celebrate Murray Gold's music for the series. I discovered the group through one of my Doctor Who feeds, when they released their first work, "I Am the Doctor." After watching that first video, I was incredibly excited to discover that they were recruiting for their second piece, "This is Gallifrey/Vale Decem". For several weeks I rehearsed, recorded, and re-recorded my part-and it was worth it! :) Members sent in audio recordings of their individual parts (and multiple parts, if they were playing more than one instrument or submitting a vocal part), along with an optional video. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

This is our third collaboration, "Rose's Theme/Doomsday":



We had 154 individual participants, from 18 different countries! (sweet, huh?)

If you would like to participate in the next piece, follow Stephen Willis, socksofbalhoon on YouTube-he will be releasing a recruitment video in the near future. :)

If you do join, (or have previously participated), please send me a note so I can mention you here on this blog!
