A Collaborative Charity Album
In 2012, musician Beck Hansen released a project called “Song Reader” — an ‘album’ of original sheet music for twenty new, never before recorded songs, held in a hardbound carrying case and complete with over 100 pages of artwork.
The music was written by Beck and left to be interpreted by anyone who picked it up.
Two years later, this led to an album of studio recordings, with each track adapted by a different musician — including Jack White, Moses Sumney, Jeff Tweedy and more, including Beck himself. Also entitled “Song Reader,” Beck and partner Warby Parker will release the collaborative album on July 29th.
Proceeds from “Song Reader” will benefit the non-profit 826 Foundation, which funds writing and tutoring centers.
Here, you can listen to versions of the “Song Reader” sheet music collection by the ‘unofficial’ group of musicians.
