YY music compo - now to <date of the GE> - GENERAL ELECTION

Post by (o)(o) »

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make some noise that fit into the theme of "GENERAL ELECTION" by <Date of General Election not known at this time could be 2022>

What do you mean by 'some noise'?

Music. Noise. Whatever man! We're not fussy round here.

How do I write a song about GEBERAL ELECTION?
Again, it's up to you. There isn't a wrong or right way to do this and the theme is purposedly misspelt.

I don't have to write any of that electronic crash, bang, wallop music that seems so popular around here do I?
Stop asking stupid questions - no of course not - just get off your arse and do it!

How do I win?
By taking part duh! The competition is a bit tongue in cheek, it's the journey that counts. There will be a vote on the date of the GEBERAL ELECTION to decide. But it's worth stressing the aim is for people to participate and enjoy the process and possibly let out their frustrations in a controlled and cathartic way rather than getting all wound up to fuck about another general election and making a total arse of yourself on Twitter.

Well I'm definitely going to win, what do I get?
As the 'winner' you will get the honour of choosing next theme, should the UK not have descended into total chaos by that time.

Can I do a cover?
Nah Mate.

How do I share my tune?
You'll need to upload it to a hosting service. Soundcloud is pretty good and there's quite a few of us on there already. Shout if you need some help.

When do I have to get this done by?
The Date of the next GEBERAL ELECTION. Or thereabouts to leave a week for voting....

Can I share work in progress?
Please do! I want to have a laugh at your half finished project. Post what you want into this thread for discussion and comment.

How many entries can I have?
It is a maximum of one. Or are you trying to engage in gerrymandering?

But how will you know which one I've entered?
Your last submission counts as "your entry".

Enjoyed it. All the way through. :D

Experimenting with Stutter Edit and Blackhole ideas, for a basis for a track maybe, but just hearing BORIS makes me churn tho... see if it goes anywhere ;D

It's got legs that, a bit less of Bojo, lead that guitar cue at 0:25 to a 2nd theme and go at it I think.

Cheers will have a bash..just felt a bit sick now hearing Boris again..

Maybe substitute for a nice politician would be less nauseating Eh! :)

A track with Bercow calling “Order ORRDER!!”.. well it would be easy to figure out a title anyway!

I was doing a loop and it was a bit boring and repetitive

Which seems exactly appropriate :D

I was aiming for boring and unsatisfying, but everone I've played it to has loved it. I knew I should have pressed through with another 20 minutes.
