Magical Mish Mash is back for another collaborative album after a nearly 3 year hiatus!
How does this work? That will depend on the "phase" we'll be in, and I'd prefer to keep the original post here unedited, so you can check the next post after this to know for sure.
Below, I'll explain what these phases will mean.
Phase 1: Sample Submission
In this phase, artists can send in samples on the discord in #mmm or post them here.
You can use anything that makes the download available, but I'd prefer people use dropbox.
Examples of what you can send:
A chord progression as a recording or MIDI file.
A recording of a single instrument.
A recording of ambient sounds.
A beat loop.
An instrumental solo.
Singing without music.
Examples of what you CANNOT send:
A full song.
A sample ripped from a song you don't own.
Isolated vocals or instruments from songs that aren't yours.
A sample ripped from a media you don't own in general.
Samples from sample packs paid for.
You may only send up to 10 samples.
Phase 2: Remix
In this phase, producers can make whatever they want with the samples submitted by others and are encouraged to use as many as they can to make something unique and creative.
Afterwards, you can send the sound file to the same places mentioned in Phase 1.
Phase 3: Vote
At this point all tracks should be submitted and all participants will vote on what they thought was the best (not including their own tracks).
That won't be all there is to judging though, as we want to promote collaboration and unique twists on creativity.
Points will be given as follows:
A vote for your track = 4 Points
For every time someone uses one of your samples = 2 Points
For every sample used in your track = 1 Point
To get the most points, you don't even technically have to make a full track.
If enough people find your sample interesting enough to use in their track, that can still get you a good number of points.
Misc. Info
This is a free album, for people to participate in and for people to download.
If money is given for it (which won't be necessary to download but is a Bandcamp option) it will go towards the site for things such as ad removal.
What does the winner win?
Since money isn't being made from it, there isn't much I can offer aside from a higher placement in the album.
The person with the most points gets to have their track play first on the album and so on.
There may be other rewards like being featured in-community more so, but these will not be physical prizes or of direct monetary value.
We hope you will still be interested and hopefully this niche can help those looking to reach a new audience if enough people take part.
