The project started with a poem I wrote in the summer of 2007 while sitting on a train. During fall the same year the project grew to include three Swedish netlabels and a total of 17 Swedish artists and groups.
Even if the overall theme was time every artist was allowed to freely interpret it, which lead to a lot of different musical pieces.
Another aspect was to show that there isn't only illegal music to download, and that there are Swedish netlabels releasing quality music for free.
The project consisted of three unique releases, and one vast collection with all tracks (including a bonus track) on all of the netlabels involved.
First out was Two Left Hands On Two Right Arms with four tracks on May 3rd and then came 23 seconds with seven tracks on May 13th. deersound was supposed to have released its six tracks on May 23rd but due to computer problems the release was postsponed till May 27th. On June 6th the big collection was released on all three netlabels.
