I am currently in Dakar looking for music to record for the GMC, and it looks like I will be working with the reggae-star Dread Maxim, possibly as soon as this week. I will ask him to respond to Randi's cello and to develop it further. Nothing's for sure, we'll see what happens.

Dread Maxim's greatest "weapon" is his voice. He asked me to help him with some inspiration, to suggest some words or something to sing about. Whilst I am sure I can find plenty of potential material just by looking at what I've written on this website, I'd like to open this one up to all of you.

Simply suggest something, anything, a word, a few words, a sentence, a few sentences... anything that could give him a boost of inspiration. Anything you feel would be appropriate. And it doesn't have to make any particular sense.

I'm afraid it COULD be a wasted effort. The recording might not happen at all, or it might happen too soon. I may not like your suggestions or I may prefer my own in any case. And Dread Maxim is completely free to choose from your ideas, my ideas or his own ideas. But we could try, it could be an interesting experiment! And who knows, I may be able to use your suggestions at a later date...

So give me what you've got, get creative below! Whatever you do, do it quickly!

Thanks!

It's now too late for Dread Maxim, but any suggestions will be kept in mind for the future...
