Revision History: awareNet Theme Song!

Anna Wertlen changed the project abstract to
The VSA thought awareNet really needs a song. But not just any song. A song by the users for the users. A song that reflects the life and the thoughts of its users. A song that is about awareness, awareNet, about you and me and us, about our life and possibilities, about the future and the Internet, and about Peace.
We found 5 schools in Grahamstown that want to take part in this project and want to create a song. We found an artist who is producing a song for us. We found singers, rappers and sound engineers who agreed to practice with the learners how to rhyme, sing and rap, how to perform on stage and who will record them in the end. We found poets who want to write lyrics and more singers who want to create an a capella song together and become the special guests on stage. We found dedicated programmers and mediators who will constantly adapt awareNet to the needs of this project as we go along. And we found people who think it is a great idea to bring all of them together on stage on Peace Day (21/09/11)! Come and join us on this trip! Send us messages and comments, become a member of this project, join the Fan Clubs, spread the message!

We had a fantastic music event at Peace Day this year (21/09/11), here in Grahamstown-South Africa! We celebrated Peace and awareNet with great HipHop music that was composed especially for this event. It took us only 2 months to get five groups together and train them to perform their own song in the contest while they learned how to use computers and the Internet in a productive and creative manner.
In the beginning, we showed Jeremy Gilley’s short movie about Peace One Day to give everyone the background about our cooperation. Then, there was a motivational message from Sakhile Moleshe, a musician who also grew up in the Eastern Cape and is now an international celebrity. We had great guest artists: Inyaniso, the Boys in Motion, Keegan Too Chilled Prince and Roddy Zipp. The judges, Erika Wertlen from ExPressive ImPressions, Jared Lang and the latter two guest artists who all took their duty very seriously. And last but not least the prizes for the best song (Mary Waters High School: professional music video), best rapper (Benjamin Mahlasela SS: head phones and an Inyaniso CD) and best singers (also MWHS: Inyaniso CDs), sponsored by SonicArtStudio, the Makana Municipality, well and us. We even had to quickly hand out an additional certificate for the best group who showed us true heart and peaceful awareness: Victoria Girls High School. Thank you all for putting so much energy, money and passion into the training, songs and judging! You were fantastic!
We loved all the songs so much that we decided that they will all be recorded. We will make an awareNet Peace Day album and turn this into a new tradition here in Grahamstown. Watch out for more next year on Peace Day, 21/09/12, the Day of Global Truce!

To make things even more interesting and exciting, we are also planning an a capella version of the awareNet theme song.
For this version we have convinced the Upstart Poets and the 'Boys in Motion' to work together. The Upstart poets want to write poems that will then be sung or interpreted or underlined with a capella music by the 'Boys in Motion'.
We are going to meet regularly to work on this project and document it here on awareNet.
