The music coordinator for the British drama series Sparks on Channel 4, Alex Hancock, has taken a different approach for the selection of music for the series. He has asked the songwriters among the viewers to send in their own contributions, well, anyone can participate. And from this material he then chooses songs for some special scenes.

When this started a little more than a year ago, before the third season, they received thousands of songs, and for the first occasion a song from the Swedish singer/songwriter Desireé Duvringe was chosen. The song’s name is “Automation” and you can listen to it here, and here you can see how the scene ended up.

The song became very popular among the viewers, a singel was released in the autumn and Desireé is now working on following up on all the interest around “Automation”. You can find her on her Myspace page.
Here are two new songs you can listen to:
