So here it is, a new competition aimed at getting everyone to squeeze out a new song or two during the Summer and maybe get slightly outside their comfort zone... The Winter/Valentine's competition was a great success with over 20 entries - let's see if we can outdo that.
"The Rules"
The theme is "Bare Bones". You use your imagination to decide how to tackle it, it could refer to arrangement, title, lyrics, whatever. Just explain what your take is.
A new song please. Except you can also choose to do a "bare bones" version of a song already posted on the forum before 1 June (with the writer's permission of course if not your own).
Open to all current forum members no matter how many posts etc.
Entries to be submitted by 31 July 2016.
You can have one solo entry and one colab. Or two colabs instead. (Plus, as a bonus, one stripped down version of a previous forum song as noted above.)
Please add your name to this thread if you're in. If you want help teaming up with someone, say what you offer (e.g. lyrics, melody, instruments, vocals, music theory, production capability) and what you'd like from the collaborator.
Please put Lyrics, WIP and Finished songs into the relevant thread on the forum, as usual, not here (so normal 2 weeks rules apply). For voting we'll gather them all together here.
By the way, just to keep things orderly, your competition song won't be eligible for song of the month!
Voting:
- will be for your top 3 (or maybe top 5 if we get lots of entries) in order of preference.
- all entrants must vote, but not for themselves, which is only fair. (Or penalties may be handed out!)
- try to vote for concept, melody, lyrics and structure - this should be all about the songs.
Mr. PaulAds has kindly volunteered to be the other organiser. AUAA (ask us anything ... almost)
Good luck everyone...
