Here's my idea - I want to have a small contest.
There are going to be 2 categories: Best Backing Track and Best Solo.
It'll be a two stage process.
Stage 1 - Backing tracks should be submitted, I can host the files if needed, and we're going to be aiming for a fusion/metal genre. I'll take the first 10 entries, however any late-comers can feel free to accept and if it's good I'll toss it into the mix.
We'll do a week long poll and after that, the winner will be awarded a prize (Nothing amazing, but it'll be cool anyway)
Stage 2 - After that, we're going to use the backing track as the competitor for a soloist to show their abilities and once again, the polls will show the winner of that as well. (And yes, you too will get a cool prize)
I can host files so either send your backing directly to me, or e-mail me at enigma@enigmahack.com and I can set up an FTP account for you to upload your backing track to me.
RULES:
1 - Don't use any existing backing tracks (Must be original!)
2 - Don't use clips from songs or parts of songs.
3 - Do be creative - it's for fun, so don't be afraid to try stuff
4 - Do try and make it in the metal/fusion vein of music.
5 - Don't take it too seriously - again it's just meant to be fun :)
6 - Don't worry if you don't play the keyboard that well, we're just interested in hearing different musical ideas.
7 - Multiple entries WILL be accepted, however only 1 of them will be entered into the draw (IE: If you record multiple takes and you want people to hear it, that's cool. I'll host your file, just tell me which one you want to have as your actual entry)
8 - Any disputes go through me, however I'll mostly be reflecting back to the forum to get user consensus.
I don' t have a backing to submit, because I'm at work, but I'm sure I'll be looking for inspiration for something :)
So here we go:
SUBMIT YOUR ENTRIES!!!
