As the winner of Open Challenge #08 I have the privilege of coming up with the mission brief for Open Battle #09.
It’s raining and +10 degrees celcius outside here in Finland, so summer must be approaching. Hence the theme I picked is Summer Surprise Shake-up.
The mission brief reads as follows:
- Pick a summer themed song. The Boys of Summer, Summer of '69, Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer, Cruel Summer, Summertime Sadness… You name it!
- Include a recognisable bit of that song in your track. This can be done by various means: you can sample a snippet of the song OR play a melody from the song yourself. Just remember, the bit you’re lifting from a song must be recognisable.
Edit: Should probably note that the idea is NOT to make a cover version of the song but take one or two bits and build a track of your own on top of that. - Your track should not be longer than 3 minutes.
- Post your track in this thread. You can use Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Youtube or upload an mp3 file directly into your post.
- Also post a Youtube link to the track you’re using elements from, preferably by using the Hide Details function (if some people prefer not to spoil the surprise part).
- Let’s try to make this a slightly shorter Open Battle cycle by setting the deadline for July 4th.
- The winner will be decided by a vote and gets to host the epic Open Battle #10.
Hope lots of people are onboard for this one! Have a fun Open Battle everyone!
