[comp album] A Picture is worth a thousand notes: submit!!!!

Postby Bronies Are Cool » 01 Mar 2014 23:00

I'm taking submissions. Here are the new official rules for a submission.
rule 1: I want it only in .wav format.
Rule 2: email only. [email protected]
Rule 3: I don't care if it's a link to a download or if it's attached, but I need to be able to download your song.
Rule 4: pic an image the song was inspired from
Rule 5: what tempo is the song and what genre?
Rule 6: tell a phunny joke
rule 7: include name of artist and song in the email AND file of audio that is being submitted. name of song comes first, then artist.
rule 8: subject line must say "picture is worth 1000 notes"
rule 8.2: have fun

[email protected]




So, basically, this is Image to Music based work. I show an image, and a song would be made from the image. (Not literally.) I mean from the inspiration of the image, the emotions it gives off, a song derived from a picture.

So, for this first image album, the deadline will be June 13th. that gives us all a while to compose something nice. I will then personally judge the tracks for quality. The album will be released onto Bandcamp for free. I don't want to make any money from this. seriously

Tracks will be submitted in Wave format because bandcamp likes loss-less files only. Do not release tracks prior to the album being released. On a later date, I will make a submission form, depending on how well interested people are for this. Stay posted

I will check these songs for quality, so submit great music, not a lot of music. Any genre is allowed, but remember to do it based on the image. Songs should be no longer than 12 minutes. Only 3 songs per artists will be accepted into the final version of the album.
So if you submit 5 songs and 4 are good enough to make it here, you would have to pick the 1 that is not going to be here. This is a SFW album, no swearing please.
This does not have to be mlp related in anyway. When the album is released, it won't be released as an mlp associated album. You don't even have to be a brony to be on this album. If the images are mlp related, you don't have to do an mlp song. But, you can if you want to, I will not discriminate against the brony submissions. (bronies are cool :3)

A skype group will be made soon for this. I'll make it once I know that people are interested. It will NOT be a spam skype group. seriously, i have had enough of that with the emforay/arcien group.

Did I forget to mention anything?


So, for the first album, it will be from a series of images. get inspired:
Image
Image
Image
Imageyes, its philomena






rule 8.1: dont ask questions

I can pretty much only make happy or angry or inspiring or uplifting music. So, a song inspired by sad stuff would probably not sound so good coming from me :/
We breakfast is e


House. Glitch Hop. IDM. Breakbeat. Chillout. Footwork. Lo-fi. Vaporwave. Noise. These are some of the genres I like to completely ruin.

Should I change it from sad for the first time? I'll probably do that once I'm on my computer again.

I am super down (up?) for this. I've been stalking this section of the forum looking for stuff to participate in, but this is the first thing that seems actually up my alley. You can pretty much count me in!
Notebook Memories, the debut album from yours truly, is currently up on my bandcamp for free. Any feedback, encouragement, hate mail, etc. is highly appreciated! Even just listening is pretty cool of you tbh.

Damn I'm hyped for this! The concept is genius. I'm in ~

Btw the deadline is June 13th - would it be possible to deliver before that and get your opinion on what you think can be improved? Just to make sure the final outcome is as beautiful as possible :smile:

If you want to submit a track to me before the deadline to see if anything can be inproved, just send me the track in Skype and I should be able to give almost immidiate advice.

Sorry about not responding so quick. My Internet was out for the last few days. :/

Ok. I made a Skype group a day or so ago. As of this post being posted, there are 3 people on the group.
If you want in, just add me in Skype and request to be on the group. I am friendly, say hi.

Okay. I'm interested, though I'm not sure how well I'll be able to fit this in my tight schedule. Do you have an approximate submission deadline?
