Project 168 is an occasional internet project based around the concept of making an EP in 7 days. A week is chosen, and then people sign up and see what they can do in 168 hours. Having a solid deadline tends to really focus people, and a lot of good music has been produced in the past.Project 168 parts 1,2,3 happened in 2005 and 2006, and I missed them. But I did sign up for Part 4 which ran from midnight on the 13th of April to midnight on the 20th April. This was my contribution:

02 - gili meno
03 - koh tao frogs

The field recordings that make up the backgrounds to the tracks were recorded in Laos, Indonesia and Thailand in 2006/07. Everything else was composed and produced in 168 hours in April!
The ep is also available on the Project 168 site where you can stream or download the tracks and leave comments.
90 other people also submitted EPs, making a total of about 390 tracks running for over 25 hours. I'm about halfway through listening to all of them, and I'll post links to my favorites here when I've heard them all.
