ATTN: Musicians/producers of Musicbanter
 

I was thinking of doing either a monthly or weekly music off. We would choose a theme before the competition, and then have a week to submit. Submitting would be uploading onto soundcloud or whatever method you want, and then everyone listens and votes on their favorite. Live instruments and laptop musicians all welcome

Let's wait and see who brings their A game.

Yeah, I'm waiting to see how much interest this will generate

What themes are we talking about here?

I was thinking broad ones that can be interpreted in many ways not restricted to musical genre: like for example fear, love, joy, or stuff like post apocalypse, war, things like that. Having people vote on what theme to go with would probably be a good edition.

Ah ok. That'd definitely work better than genre-related themes.
Well, I'd be down. The real question is how many others around here are. Assuming there would be more than 3 or 4 participants, it would be great.

I know there are a fair amount of members who make music so I'm hoping this will catch on

If I had any recording equipment at all I'd be on this like a fat kid on apple pie.

Too bad I don't. Will enjoy listening, though. :)

I think we should limit entries to being 30-45 seconds long. I know this probably sounds like I'm joking, but if we did this I think it would encourage (a) more entries, (b) more off-the-cuff writing, (c) greater likelihood of people actually listening to all entries and (d) more fun!

I'd definitely be in if we did it that way.

Let's do it
