Ok guys, they’re finally here, the worlds first, Thirty Day Challenge ringtones. After being asked by several challengers if I was going to make the 30DC Theme Song available for download and could people have it on their phones, I have created - through popular demand, a handful of Thirty Day Challenge ringtone snippets. They are the most popular parts of this years theme song like the intro, chorus and Mid8 etc, along with a couple of unplugged style ringtones featuring just the piano and vocals for an added bonus.

I’m going to charge a small fee to download these MP3’s in order to amortize some of the costs incurred making this year’s 30DC theme song. I don’t get paid to do it and it took me well over 100 hours to put together with all the video edits and so on, so if I could get a little back - that would be great.

These MP3’s have been optimised for Mobile/Cellphones and are mono files with a sample rate of 22.050 kHz @ 96kbps, this sounds great in most phones. The main 30DC Theme Song’s are regular high quality MP3 - 44.1kHz - 192kpbs - stereo.

I’ll keep it really simple and make each ringtone only $1 to download with no fancy memberships or sign-ups to worry about.

Last year a competition was a-foot and the person who submitted the most interesting video to Ed Dale and Dale Raine of The Thirty Day Challenge fame  would win some goodies. Woo Hoo, I came back from my hols in the middle of August only to find out I’d won. What a lovely surprise, Ed and Dan actually liked my song - cool, it was quite catchy and it received a few thousand views on Youtube also - Ah fame at last.

This years 30 day challenge came swiftly upon us, but what was different this year was that I’d been asked to do another song for this years challenge - Scooters Man, now the pressure was on, the difficult second album syndrome. During the 30DC Pre-season, I even heard Ed say “can Phill do it” , can he write another catchy theme tune like last years? Oh cheers mate - thanks for doubling the pressure.

Anyway, I was actually really pleased to have been asked to do it again, I took it as a compliment and to the studio I ran to get cracking on the new Thirty Day Challenge Theme.

I realised that after waffling on about writing the 30 DC Theme Song above, I’d already chirped on about it on the 1st of August in a previous post - What a Gooner! End of Post

Taking on the mammoth task of writing a totally original musical from scratch, was not as peachy I thought.

Back in January 2007, 3 people decided to dedicate a serious amount of their lives to the writing and creation of Mmm Mmm The Musical. Script writer and lyricist Katrina Mason and Co-Composer Ross Griggs would make up the dynamic trio along with myself - Phill Mason in readiness for hours and hours of hard work in the recording studio. With the huge task of writing 18 songs to Katrina’s lyrics, both Ross and I dug our heels in for what proved to be one of the biggest challenges we’d both experienced.

Two to three studio sessions a week writing music, putting a plethora of chords and melodies to lyrics seemed to be plenty of time, but as the months rapidly flew by, we realised that as we were approaching casting time in January 2008 and we did not have half of the songs ready - time to increase the pressure a tad! Some songs had not even been written yet. Other tracks had melodies that were okay, but there was still tons of work to be done to get to that “we are proud of everything” stage. All the songs had undergone a rough note pad which usually consisted of me on the piano with some chord ideas or the thrashing a groove out on the drums whilst Ross strummed some chords on the guitar. Gradually, we could see a small dim light at the end of the tunnel, but it was a light none-the-less.

Part 2  - Preparing the tracks and all parts ready for auditions - coming soon!

Wow, well here we are once again, at the beginning of August and its the grand opening of another Thirty Day Challenge. The 30 Day Challenge is the mastermind of two of the internets most highly-respected marketers - Ed Dale and Dan Raine and its designed to show you step-by-step, how to setup a rock-solid foundation for your new or existing online business. All the tools and all the techniques you could ever wish for are presented to you in crystal-clear video format - the best coaching program you’re likely to see! Best of all, its all for free and anyone can join in at any time - Check it out here 30DC you’ll be glad you did.

This means only one thing for me - time to write a new theme song and make a video to boot. Of course I’ve been working on this one for the last few months, a verse riff here and a middle 8 melody there, piece by piece the song has nicely come together, but not after several rewrites though. Some of the best songs have come from writing a phrase or melody only to realise that the piece you’ve just written is exactly what you don’t want. I personally have no formula for writing songs and I don’t really care which comes first - melody, riff or lyrics, it matters not to me, only that inspiration comes from one of them to inspire me for the rest - that’ll do me nicely! I’ve written both songs to lyrics and put lyrics to tunes and neither seems any easier than the other. I think as a composer, you know when its right and if you’re honest, you know when its not. Sometimes you really want a tune to work as you know it has a certain something to it and it may not be a bad tune, but perhaps it just doesn’t work in that particular configuration and thats what needs to change.

Talk about “pressure on” scooters man, it’s like the infamous “second album” - can Phill do it again and write another catchy tune for this years 30 Day Challenge!! Thanks guys no pressure - phew!

I really like this song if I do say so myself, its simple and melodic. If I’m not confident of a melody or tune, I either rework it or trash it and start again, but this years 30DC theme tune melody is memorable - and thats what people like in a song, it also has an uplifting happy feel to help get people motivated for the challenge each day. Sure the track is perhaps a little cliché with a few prog-rock references at the end of the song, but its original, memorable and most of all fun - and that is the foundation of a good song.

I try not to attach myself to my music too much as you do put your head on the chopping-block ready for any type of criticism and abuse people wish to throw at you. I know Ed and Dan are in the same boat for what they put together for the challenge - you can never make everyone happy, you just have to put your stuff out there for folks to use and abuse, but you do have to be prepared to accept some non-friendly comments about your efforts, thats what creative people have to deal with, here’s my efforts - say what you will, its what I’m offering.

I wouldn’t change it for the world, I love it.

The video also contains some humorous references to this years “Ed Dale Mankini” joke in the style of a couple of video I released earlier last month. If you didn’t catch them, you can see them here on Youtube;

Thirty Day Challenge is Misunderstood - Mankini Style!
