Yeah 100%. Robot fart jams are as valid as structured songs are as valid as experimental deconstruction of tape loops, but a contest (while super fun) for a voting audience that isn't just synth nerds may not be as down with the more try it and see type vibe experiments.

Do poo poo, make sounds, its all good.

I agree with the above posts but we should still have exciting theme reveals in the style of

“Easter songs with acid basslines!”


“EDM Irish ditties!”


“Lofi beats with George W Bush samples!”

y'all can and will do what you want but I would advise against making things into a contest for a number of reasons.

it reinforces the bourgeois mindset of lauding the status quo. whatever is the most inoffensive pop track in 4/4 time will sweep, always. because it's what people are used to. it's catchy because you don't have to think about it or listen to it too closely.

it reinforces the bourgeois mindset of gatekeeping and division of labor. the act of putting tracks up for a vote is saying that there are a set of communal standards, art is fitting into those standards and artists are people who are best able to fit into those standards. the material correspondence is that if you've been doing this awhile and you have dumped some money into gear, your tracks are probably going to reflect that. you know tricks for polish and you have the gear needed to pull off those tricks. beginners, broke motherfuckers and outsiders (those who don't know or don't care about conventions) are going to fair worse in a public vote and those are exactly the people who should be most encouraged to make music.

all right, all right you heard the goon, no prizes. Merry Christmas you sons of many bitches!

a helpful list

“Elementary, Dear Data” (TNG, S2E3)
“Ship in a Bottle” (TNG, S6E12)
Bonus: The USS Sherlock Holmes, “Conspiracy” (TNG, S1E25)

edit: helpful for me, anyway, get your own dang bad ideas

are two episodes plus the sheet music for the TNG music enough for a track? I'll get back to you in march. When I subtract the inaudible frequencies, and the frequencies I don't want to hear, whatever remains is my submission, no matter how improbable.

I observe that there is a good deal of German music on the programme, which is rather more to my taste than Italian or French. It is introspective, and I want to introspect.

Can we preemptively award all prizes to the composer of that clip? Because dang.

It also says to me that we need to cross-promote with goon video makers to create videos of our synth noises. Do we have a VJ thread anywhere? Or an animation thread? I know there's a 3D modeling one but not sure about animation oriented groups.

reading up on holmes' contemporary german composers led me to the tragic life of hans "these face biting leopards won't bite my face off" pfitzner. this sounds like the coolest thing that I have absolutely no interest in
