[Charity Album] Derpy's Wings IV - Starting Now! -

Postby MG Music » 09 Dec 2014 06:28

Life is full of emotion you have your crazy people and your sane people. You have people that follow the norm and people that break the norm and express their individuality. But all in all we are all human and all exhert some sort of emotion. Whether good or bad people look at us based on what we do, how we act, what we say, and we take that as gospel sometime . Other times you have that one person that doesnt care what anyone has to say and they just know who they are as a person. Everyone at one point has been mistreated by another and we all know how that feels as well as how it is to be happy. And one of the greatest things as a musician is to explore and let out all that emotion through music. Whether its Happiness or Sadness, Love or Hate, Chaos or Order we all emote it through music. It is our "muse" so to speak, our inspiration to deliver a message to convey a meaning. Not a meaningless message about sex and drugs or how cool it is to be rich. But a true message telling people to stand up for themselve or to be able to help other people. There are many messages music can deliver, What's yours.


Hey guys I'm MG and I have been given control of this project from Symphon (such a great trooper running these last three albums) and he gotten mentally tired from school and such so I am here to take a weight off of his shoulder and organize the Derpy's Wings IV Album!
Once again this year all donations received from this album will go to Heifer International a charity to help end world hunger.

First things first just because someone new is running it all rules will stay the same. I am here just to give a breath of fresh air to the project and try my best to make it the best it can be!
So let us get down to business. In this iteration of Derpy's Wings you will be given a list of Adjectives and a list of Nouns that all convey a certain theme of emotion. That document is listed here:



https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PTN ... sp=sharing




Then you will go to Random.org and set the min to 1 and the Max to 16 and will hit the generate button twice taking note of which number you have chosen respectively. Then you will go to the Document listed above and you will match the numbers with one adjective and one noun and your challenge is to use that as the message of your song, the theme, your muse. The goal here you may ask? Well the goal here is the same to make a song thats new to you and to push your limits as a musician. But with an added twist to convey the emotions that your theme represents to be able to show whats its like to feel that way and evoke emotion into your song through that.Once you have done that go here to the Sign-up form and well, Sign up!


Here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lv7G3K ... Q/viewform



Now of course this is a pony album but your song DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PONY TO BE ACCEPTED. We want as many people as possible to be able to contribute to this album so there will be no requirements of the song to involve pictures of pastel colored horses or using pony samples in your songs is not required. So once you have picked the theme for your song and you have signed up you can add me on skype to be added to the Derpy's Wings IV Skype group.
You can add me or symphon and either of us will add you to the group.


Mine: mster1864
Symphon: tunersymphon


Ok now with all of the paperwork out of the way we can get down to the interesting stuff the production and album!
There will be two deadlines a soft deadine and a hard deadline the soft deadline being the earliest you can submit your entry and a hard deadline where no other entries will be accepted after (unless you consult with me otherwise beforehand if you are having techincal difficulties).


The SOFT DEADLINE will be scheduled for

FRIDAY MARCH 21ST

and the Hard Deadline will be scheduled for
FRIDAY MARCH 28TH

This will give the judges a week to judge the entries for the
Album Release Saturday APRIL 4TH

(This will also give us enough time to set up a radio event with Celestia Radio!)



ALL ENTRIES WILL NOT BE POSTED UNTIL AFTER THE ALBUM IS RELEASED YOU WILL EMAIL THE ENTRIES TO ME FOR JUDGING MY EMAIL IS LISTED BELOW.

Email: [email protected]

(Please email with the subject being Derpy's Wings IV Submission.)



There will also be Work In Progress Review Dates Where you can send us your Work In Progresses to be reviewed and critiqued quickly on places for you to improve.
Those dates will be as follows:

Saturday January 10TH
Saturday January 24TH

Saturday February 7TH
Saturday February 28TH

Saturday March 14TH (Which is a week before we begin to take entries).



Also unlike past iterations there will be no submission limit but there will be a limit of two the tracks you can get on the album excluding collaborations. (Just please be smart and don't submit 20 tracks we are doing this to allow expansion on the album but if people abuse this priveledge then we will put a limit on the submissions).

In addition to the main album we will have a on the side bonus album to give away as a sign of thanks for Donating to the Album. This will be the re-release of the original Derpy Swings Album we are getting some of the original artists to do a VIP version of the songs on the first one and we are even accepting new entries for this the maximum amount of tracks for this album will be 10 tracks since we dont want this to distract people from the main album we just want to use this as a token of appreciation :D If you are interested the soft deadline for the Derpy Swings Bonus Album will be:


Soft Deadline: Saturday March 7TH

and the

Hard Deadline: Saturday March 21ST (A week before the hard deadline of the main album)


We ask that you not make these tracks public as that would lead to people being able to download them through youtube downloaders and such and would ruin the sentimental value of the track however this may change in the future.
We will also be setting up a Soundcloud and Youtube channel specifically for the Derpy's Wings Album to be able to do some cool stuff with the Derpy's Wings name :D

Also this year we will be bringing back tutors
If you are interested in becoming a tutor please contact me at


Email:[email protected]

[More Info on tutors to be posted later.]
Also we already have our judges so unless something comes up we will not be needing any more.


So this is the basic outline for Derpy's Wings IV and I am super excited to be a part of this album once again. If you have any questions feel free to ask here in the reply thread or in the Derpy's Wings IV Skype group. You can see a list of dates reposted below as well as the links to all the documents.

The title "Derpy's Wings" isn't just a title dedicated to one of the fandom's most beloved characters. It's a bit more than that. She's a background character, yes, yet she's one of the most known characters in the entire fanbase, ironically enough. Someone that sticks to the back of the scene still gets recognition, similar to how we want smaller artists to gain attention for their art. She's also known to have her signature crossed eyes, a symbol of being different from the rest. It's funny how this simple thing caught our attention. If a character like Derpy can be loved so much for being different, why can't we try to be different ourselves, even if it's in a different way? Also, her wings are important. Without them, she's still Derpy. However, her wings cause her to soar into the sky, pushing herself to the limits she has and then breaking them. Just like what we want you to do.

Push yourself and break those barriers.

Calm sorrow. That heavily contrasts with my theme for the last one, so I should do well.

I got "Bright" and "Ambition", this can work to my absolute advantage. I'll get started as soon as i get out of school, it's close to winter break anyway. This is a really cool idea though, I might just use it to practice more writing. :grin:

Lol, sounds like something I usually make. It would be INTENSE! But that's the beauty of these albums, you get to interpret something you would not have thought up your self.

A tutor is something that choons offered back on the Second Derpy's Wings album
Basically it was people who could help offer production advice to people who are struggling with the production of their track
You would make a list of your strengths and weaknesses as a producer so they would know who to contact for certain situations
you would provide your email/skype for people to be able to contact you and schedule a tutoring session this date will be scheduled on your own time and however you can work it around your schedule.
They can have more than one tutoring session if you choose to have another one if they still would like some help.
If you got anymore questions just hit me up on skype man id be happy to help :D
