Rainbow & Rooted: Four's Fall Down

Great job on Balloon Party, guys. I think we're ready to knock our heads together and krank our next efforts to 11, yeah? This go around, I will be having a more "official" team that will be doing things behind-the-scenes with more structure and routineness, so while it's all on our own free time and voluntary, there will be a more solid foundation behind the next push to bring people to bronycon and direct excess funds to charitable causes.

RAINBOW & ROOTED: FOUR'S FALL DOWN

submission/list.php?event=30 <-- YEAH SUBMIT YOUR TRACK HERE

We are going for the mentality of fast and stylish. This video below will explain a whole bunch:



As for Bronyquest, I'm going to try to make the aid sign-up form more accessible, but I will be distributing on request. You of course have to be a MLR member of the forum who has made music in some fashion (including DJing). TripDiam and Datsmore will be the co-hosts of the project while Aussie steps down to a more supportive role. Several other members of the forum are also on the team but right now I'm both a little too lazy to write it down and some of them are judges and I want to protect them <3333

But yeah, the aim is similar, make a clever, subtle pony track that fits an energetic/speedy theme or something with radical swagger. It can be anything, it just has to fit the mentality. Please refrain from using painfully obvious samples like Louder! (see here: http://circuitfry.tumblr.com/post/35614827228)

Now let's do this!!!

I rushed this post a bit so I might add stuff here or answer questions below in the topic. yuh.

This is in no way meant to sound rude or demeaning, but will we be seeing an album that is not predominately electronic (e.g. dubstep, DnB, Hands Up)? For Balloon Party it was heavily implied that a wide variety of genres were being sought after; this was not apparent in the final product. The music community here is ever growing and utilizes a lot more than just heavy amounts of Massive. While last time I advocated acceptance of all entries, i'd at least like to see this album be more lenient towards songs that do not boast distorted bass and hard leads. I'll no doubt try and contribute, but if this album is run in the same fashion as the last, I expect whatever classical piece I come up with to be rejected, as did many others. Though Balloon Party was an awesome album, I felt it was not a true representation of the music community as a whole, but rather the most popular musicians and those who make music in the same genres and styles as them.

Damn you for linking me Zach, just a minute ago I was worried about how I'm going to juggle all the other projects I got going on and now I'm trying to decide between hardcore punk and grime.

Heh heh...rooted...the title becomes hilarious if you know your Aussie slang.

And yeah, I will consider this BUT the criteria sounds like anything I'd write would be rejected on the pretense that it's not a genre that was listed, or a genre associated with 'fast and stylish'.

I'd prefer to know now about that really, instead of writing a big epic orchestral track, only to find orchestral doesn't have enough 'radical swagger' for your tastes.

As CircuitFry has stated, there is an emphasis on speed and style, but if you come out with something top quality, it stands a good chance of being accepted. Same goes for jazz, reggae, trance, Trap, minimal, pop, prog, if you can make it happen, and it meets the quality standard for the album, you make it clever and unique and interesting, then it will stand a good chance. I don't know how to make this any clearer.

There is no restriction on genre. None.

Why is there so much bass music being made, and why was Balloon Party full of it? Because its popular, simple as that. Nothing to do with the album.

Ooh, I'm totally down. I've got a good idea in mind, but it's going to need a lot of fleshing out. And peer review. That, too.

When you say "radical swag" do you mean epic hip hop tracks?!?! Cause I'm about to do that! Oh or what about electro swing?! That's has both energy and swag!

Hmm... I try some Hard Dance or some Complextro DnB.

And actually this electroswing thing is growing on me. In fact, I had a song stuck in my head all day. I had to take a vocabulary test and a history test to Caravan Palace - Clash. Pretty sure I aced both. :D

Well, to me it seems it was encouraged. After all, they boasted having participants like TheLivingTombstone and Alex S., and of course there was the whole THIS HARD thing.
