TIGSource Musical Challenge XLVIII: Cover Each Other (TIGSource reMixtape)Hey all! As far as I can see this hasn't been done before, and I think it will be a fun experiment. Here's how it will work:
1) PM or email me with links to
three of your previously created original tracks in MP3 format (if possible go with a fairly decent bitrate, say 160+). Try to go with tracks that sound fairly different to each other in terms of style, pace or melody to keep things interesting. You've got until the 25th of April 2016 to do this, but why delay? Get 'em in now!
2) I'll send out the tracks out at random, making sure nobody gets their own of course.
3) Pick
one of the tracks you are given to inspire their contest entry. It's entirely up to you how you go about this, whether you use elements of the actual audio file in your piece or recreate elements of it with your own instruments, but the goal is to make something that
clearly uses the reference track while at the same time being something
obviously new and different. You'll have four weeks to make something awesome!
If we get enough submissions I'll pick a shortlist for voting. Bear in mind that half the fun of the contest is getting to hear someone riffing on your work, so only send me your tracks if you're confident you can commit to creating a submission.
You have two weeks from today's date to get your three original tracks sent in. After that I'll need a day to send them back out, and from then you'll have four weeks to create your contest entry.
Those dates again:- Submit 3 previously created original tracks by 25th April 2016
- You'll be given your reference tracks on 26th April 2016
- Contest entry deadline is
23rd May 2016 27th May 2016
Don't worry about time zones. As long is it's that date somewhere in the world, you're good.
This should be interesting
Have fun everyone!
