Artist Battles (Idea/ suggestion)

Postby CrashDistortion » 24 Sep 2012 23:13

So, this is a challenge, just not official. It's something to think about.

I am doing this with a friend (SmokeScape), and it's simply this: a battle between musicians.

Have an outside source (someone else) decide on a main tempo, key and time signature (preferably to be 4/4). 2 musicians use those limitations to create a song one verse at a time. Think of every song verse or musical phrase as a fighting move, or something to that effect. It's a song created out of a musician battle.

>You cannot build over the other artist's verse
>it is preferable you don't set any huge time limits (e.g., you have 10 minutes to make a verse), or a time limit at all.
>Try to make your parts of the song distinguishable from the other person's music.

The current battle I am doing is: "Smokescape battles Crash D. - Fist Fight". Discuss below, guise, or if this gets off the ground as an idea, try requesting battles to people. This could be some kind of olympic sport or something.

This is a great idea! I actually did a battle as my very first collab, and I still haven't managed to make a better song in the same tempo range.

If anyone is down for a good ol' fashion musical duel, feel free to hit me up! :D

Isn't this just DAW vs. DAW dueling?

"Necroposting"... that was funnier than it should have been. Also, thanks for pointing this out. I'm glad that other people have these ideas.
