Anyone can make music. Record yours in November 2011.

People think that only the talented or the beautiful should be able to make music. This is bullshit. Making music is something everybody can enjoy. And everybody has something worth making a noise about.

'Hometaping' is an annual effort to help as many people as possible to record an album of their own music in one month. It is a celebration of what happens when they do.

So if you can't sing but do anyway, you are Hometaping. If you're crap at the guitar but it makes you happy, you are Hometaping. If your saxophone makes you smile but your neighbours wince, you are Hometaping. If you're convinced your songs are intricate masterpieces, you are Hometaping. When you fearlessly press record, you are Hometaping.

All you need do to take part is sign up to the website and create a name. And then make some music. You have 30 days to make your album, which ideally should be at least 20 minutes long. Hometaping begins Tuesday 1st November 2011 and ends at midnight on Wednesday 30th November. There is no judging. There is no competition. There are no other rules. You don't have to make it better than anyone else's. You just have to make it.

When you're done, you can upload your music to our website. We will be hosting parties for everyone who is involved, and providing help to get you through.

This is Hometaping's third year. Hometaping has already changed us all. We're better looking, leaner, cleaner, fitter, kinder, better people because of this. But this is just the beginning. Let's blow the the world in two. Hometaping 3: it's coming to get you.
