The charities which will be supported by the Cage Against The Machine campaign, which aims to get John Cages silent composition 433 to Christmas number one have been announced.
The five charitable organisations are Youth Music, the British Tinnitus Association, CALM, Nordoff Robbins and Sound & Music. Fans can now vote for which becomes the lead charity, receiving a larger proportion of sales income from a specially recorded version of the track and ad revenue from the campaigns website.
Cage Against The Machine organiser Dave Hilliard told CMU: "We felt that the inclusion of charities was the only meaningful way to progress the campaign. We want people to feel involved in the charity process, to get excited about what we are trying to do. Its only a small amount for the individual to buy the track, but collectively it could make a big difference to the chosen charities".
The British Tinnitus Association, of course, was put forward by Eddy, who is an ambassador for the charity and a supporter of the CATM campaign.
Eddy wrote here last week: "It occurred to me that whenever Cages piece drops, and youre supposed to appreciate the sounds around you, that one in ten people in the UK - including me, Adam F, Rocky from X-Press 2, and countless others - would only be able to hear their own tinnitus. Because, as I keep saying, sufferers of this awful condition will never hear silence again".
