Yeah, otherwise it kinda takes the fun out of it a bit. It's supposed to be a challenge.

I agree with Micshazam. That said, if you have something that you haven't released anywhere yet that you want to use, it's not like anyone's going to know.

I wasn't gonna participate either way if we're being honest

Come on.

if we're being real I just don't have the means

Damn. I was really looking forward to your contribution.

say I did join in, has a deadline been established

Not yet. Still hoping more people will participate.

I guess I'll be one of those maybes

Good.

Aren't you going to add ambient?

If we have one more participant I'll have to.
TBH one of the reasons for this thread was getting everyone to try their hand at some good old-fashioned songwriting. Ambient isn't really good for that, but whatevs.

The only one I'm really worried about is punk. It wouldn't be easy for me when I'm going to just program some music and have no vocals. It would be some pretty lame punk for sure.

I suck at vocals, which makes me perfect for punk.

Instrumental punk.

Just yell "Oi!" and punch a guitar.

I don't even own a guitar. I'll have to punch my computer keyboard.

It's punk. If you're worried about doing it right then you're doing it wrong.

You could also sample some vocals.

All good replies! I think these two give might show me the way.

Just get a ****ty computer mic and scream like AAaAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAA over noisy noises. It'll be good, I swear.

People can sign up for this til Sunday 6th.
Then we'll randomly assign the genres, then people will have til the end of the month to do their track.

Give him metal.

Give me 70's prog or whatever Trout Mask Replica is.

:laughing:

Blues?

Oh, of course, why didn't I see that?

Was away for the weekend. Tons of stuff to do today. Gonna get this going tomorrow.
Are you guys trusting me enough to assign the genres or should I give it to someone who isn't participating and is actually respected around here?

Is anyone respected around here?

Seriously though, just assign the genres yourself.

Lisna, Jansz, Mindfulness

Okay then, here are the results:
grindy - Jazz
MicShazam - Punk
Frownland - Pop
Blank. - Ambient
Lucem Ferre - Blues
Mondo Bungle - Metal
elphenor - Folk

And I swear that I didn't manupulate it in order for Frown to do Pop.
Obviously pleased about it though. Sadly we all know that he'll do some of his usual stuff with vaguely rhythmycal elements and call it Pop anyway.

Deadline is June 10th.
Get on it!

Wait...I thought we all did the same genre? I'm cool with this method, I just didn't grasp it from the OP.

Sorry if it was unclear.
I mentioned at least once that the number of participants and genres has to be the same which wouldn't be necessary otherwise.
If we do more than one round we'll have to add a rule that a member can't do a genre he already has.

Hah! And you can't do some experimental nonsense that only you think is pop even though you're really just bull****ting.

I thought that you were just being randomly difficult in honour of TH.

I think that the rule should be that you can't do a genre two times in a row.

I don't see this rule anywhere.

DAMN YOU!!

I'd say that grindy just matched up members to genres on the basis of trolling but then elph would have gotten metal.

Well, I guess more of the same.

I can't wait to hear Lucem doing blues music and Grindy doing jazz.

My track will probably be done way before June 10th, but that's a famous last words kind of statement.

Get ready for the most over-produced punk song since "Sk8ter Boi".
