It’s been quiet around here lately, probably because everyone is coming off their Stranger Things binge. Are you ready for the next challenge?
The format for this challenge is as follows:
Source material: Stranger Things seasons 1-3, self sourced. Feel free to recreate melodic themes from the intro or any piece of music found in the episodes. You must include identifiable elements from these shows which can include melodies, synth sounds, effects, dialog and background sounds. You must notate which elements you included in your final track. Eg: the kick drum sound is from the car door slam in S1 E4 and the snare is from when they drop the books on the table in S2 E2, etc.
Genre: dub techno, reggae, jungle or drum and bass; this is wide open to the vast variation found within those genres. See Basic Channel, Maurizio, Pole, Lee Perry, Mad Professor, Bill Laswell, Scorn, Goldie, etc.
Gear: Bring what you got but tell us what you used. Personally, I favor some sampling but more power to you if you break out the sousaphone and school us like the children we are.
Limits: No more than 2 submissions per artist and it would be ideal if they are under 5 minutes in length. Your final submission is due August 31st 2019 at 23:59. Youtube and Soundcloud submissions are preferred but not required.
Judging: I determine the winner and @Fin25 will pick up your pub bill, assuming you can convince him.
Who’s in?
I’ve been wanting to make some dub techno or drum & bass (love the music just no real experience with making it) so… yay!
