2024 SynQuaNon Song Writing Contest
We have 8 participants signed up so far, 4 in the US and 4 in Europe! The basic idea has been outlined in the following Blog post.
I'm interested in your thoughts regarding details for the contest. So far we have these:
Rules:
Each participant gets a demo system for 4 weeks
They should create and submit a song made exclusively with the modules in the demo system, i.e. no external effects or plugins (re-amping with the demo system is fine!)
The song may (should) consist of multiple tracks in a DAW of your choosing (again no plugins), 2-4 mins long
Final submission will be two files: a wave or mp3 of the final mix, and a copy of the DAW project file
30 Second teaser snippet recordings throughout the 4 weeks are highly appreciated
Prizes:
First place: $1,500 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Second place: $1,000 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Third place: $750 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Fourth place: $500 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Fifth place: $300 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Sixth place: $200 worth of SynQuaNon modules
Please provide your comments!
Hello everyone,
Firstly I apologize for the long silence, I had a very difficult summer. Things are better now and I finally created the blog posts for the contest entries. Please check them out - if there's anything you wish to change about your post, please let me know. I want to make sure you're happy with what I put together for you.
In the process of creating the blog posts I realized that having all the audio on my SoundCloud account may be confusing even though the metadata lists you as the composer and artist. Ideally I'd want to post a link to audio that was on your SoundCloud account. If you agree, please upload the files in your respective DropBox folders to SoundCloud and provide me with the code to embed the snippets and songs in your blog post (or modify the post yourself!). If it doesn't matter to you, it's fine with me as well!
I want to thank each of you very much for the effort you put in and for the cool music you produced! I listened to everything and watched all the videos again in the process of posting and truly enjoyed your creativity!
Warm regards,
Peter
