Hello!
We’re launching a new channel on TikTok and Instagram that brings composers and writers together, called Story Piano.
The idea is we read aloud beautiful writing alongside equally beautiful piano, record it, and share it on socials. We will give you a professional recording of your work as thanks for letting us use your work, which we’ll also share on our platforms. We will also, of course, credit your work and tag you on your social media handles.
It’s also worth noting, once we have a large enough collection of contributions, we also aim to release a bi-annual Story Piano magazine with all our contributor’s work. So there will also be a publication of your work further down the line.
All pieces are performed by classical pianist, Harry, and read by actor-writer, Lauren. For the time being, it will just be Lauren and Harry reading and performing the work, although it is likely we will be looking for readers and pianists in the future. At the moment, this choice is mostly down to scheduling and building the platform.
Currently, we will not be able to pay you for your work. As working artists ourselves, this is a priority for us to make a possibility in the future. We’re currently applying for funding to help grow our platform and aim to pay people in the future for their contributions.
We don’t want to use your work without you receiving any compensation, so we aim to provide the following for you:
– A professional recording of your piece
– A published copy of your piece in our bi-annual magazine Story Piano
You can take a look at our proof of concept on our TikTok and Instagram channels below, we’ll be releasing more videos over the next week.
