DiSoundclouder CHALLENGE?

Jordan_229_2 [Edit] [Delete] 122 replies 13:39 January 31st, 2013

The last one didn't happen due to the Xmas thing superceding it. So how about lets do it again.

How about everyone has to make a brand new one minute long song? (10% allowance either way like on exams). I'll make a soundcloud playlist and compile them. Perhaps I can make a prize as well, though i'm not sure what it'd be for.

By the end of Feb?

Worth doing?

why 1 minute??

marke this'd this
- sorry, the opposite of 'this'!
  
  because it's a challenge? Otherwise people will just submit things they've already recorded? It's good to have a theme/contraint? I think it's a good idea.

  - hmmm, i started this post with 'sorry' because i'd already pressed 'this'
    
    not as some sort of passive-agressive rhetorical device. this is why i am bad at the internet and never post.

    - yeah could be right
      
      just seems a bit of an effort for 1 min, but i'll prob do it regardless if i can

  - yep
    
    plus it won't be boring and it won't take up too much of our space on soundcloud :)

I like the one minute limit. We definitely need themes for these challenges. this is a good one.

Will have something by end of Feb for sure.

Jordan, do you have a suggestion box for future themes?

if so I'd like to stuff your box.

        click on 'add to set'
        create new set
        then come back to this thread
        click each sc link and on each track click 'add to set' and add them to your Soundcould challenge set
        
        tell me when you've got it figured and I'll delete the one I made
        
        I'm not sure if you have to have a premium account to do this so...
        
        and I'm not stealing anyone's thunder - each track on hosted on each artist's page and so play counts and all that go to their individual pages

Enjoyed listening to this last night

I like the fact that a lot of it is fairly quiet electronica and then there's NOISE
