The GREAT DrownedInSOUNDCLOUD Challenge (idea)
So it seems that from the two recent Soundcloud threads there are a lot of people on this here board not necessarily in bands but making good music. There are also people who seem to lack motivation (me included), so I had an idea; The Great DrownedInSoundcloud Challenge!
We'll pick a day in the near future in which people have to write a brand new song in just 24 hours and upload it to a special Soundcloud folder (which I believe can be done through more than one profile). After the day we can have a vote on the best one and the winner gets...a special prize! (or nothing, the winning isn't important).
Is this a good idea or not? Sometimes I think I have good ideas but they're rubbish. Basically its just a primer to write something new (maybe something different?), and another good way to find/support other peoples music.
If there is enough interest then I'll probably suggest a Sunday, maybe the 25th of November? What does everyone think?

Yes.
more likely to get this done than writing 50,000 words this month
that was partly behind the thinking too
i'm gonna be doing 10-12 hour days at work this month, but i need a project to look forward to.
one giant free compilation album of DIS.......
I'm trying to think of a decent pun, which is not coming.
Bodes well for chapter 1 tonight.
aye, maybe we can put it as an online comp to download after
couldn't hurt.
I'm in
no you aren't.
fack awf
aw
no more nonsense anyway, lets keep it business. you're in.
seems like a good idea
Count me in
cool idea
the time constraint/do it at the same time thing is usually a pain in the arse though. better just to set a deadline and say that it has to be something new you've recorded especially.
well techinically there is nothing stopping you doing it before and just uploading it on the day?
true, true
This sounds good, count me in
I'm in
but I'm also totally shit.
You need an anti-cheating mechanism
like a theme or a keyword or something. Otherwise people might just write a load of good songs now and then pretend they wrote them really quickly. And that would be a disaster.
worra disaster!
you're a smart man royter. what do you suggest?
I dunno, pal
The whole thing sounds a bit ropey as it is. Should have just said 'I want new songs by this time next week: GO'. Use some admin powers and start again.
i'm busy this week
maybe a week is a better timescale. i dunno.
Got to be about
whatever is on the front page of The Sun that day.
Good idea yeah?
so instrumentals/dance tunes
are out :(
no!
that's what i'll be doing
yeah i'm in
i might not do it tho depending on the day that gets chosen
This is a good idea.
I will do this.
Yep. I'm in.
I agree with Royter about the anti-cheating as well
what am i going to win?
kudos, my friend
Kudos.
The adulation of your peers is no small reward.
Your tracks are only about a minuet long. It will probably only take you about 10 minutes.
kudos?
pfffffffffftttttt.........
they are not suppossed to be a minute long - i just get bored of them
i'll do it
sounds good
Best way to do this is to create a group
May be a nice thing to do in the quiet week between Xmas and Nye when people have time to focus on music?
my boss is off so i'll be working every non-boxing day of that week :(
i'll have a look at that group thing.
me too
I quite fancy having a go at this though. Second release on WCR?!
:D world's end girlfriend's manager still wants him on it
i'd probably lose half a grand minimum though.
Tell him to stick it up his arse then
:D
I will do this
nice to have a challenge
Cool
I'm up for this!
totally up for this
i'm in!
Good name for this
especially compared to DiStape club which is a shit name.
