Sounders & Bumps

"Greetings and Salutations my fellow BotB-ers. As some of you might know, I work as a producer on daily news magazine show for a public radio network in Michigan. When we do the show, we use music “sounders or bumps” in between interview segments. This is where you come in. I think it would be fun if BotB created a set of original sounders/bumps. No, you wouldn’t get paid but if you’re sounder/bump was selected you could put it on your resume and/or simply get a warm fuzzy feeling in heart for contributing to public radio.

This is an open gear battle, however, no voices please. Otherwise, use your imagination to your fullest extent. BotB would have its own voting and winner with rewards distributed in normal BotB fashion. On the radio end, I’ll post all the sounders/bumps that my colleagues and I add to my show sound bank."'
