hello, if you haven't heard of the cutting-edge new sub-genre of electronic experimental music "stockwave", take a quick read of this thread.

stockwave is merely an infant in its maturity as a genre, having really only one song ("deep chillout" by artist dreamstock) to show for itself. i propose a chip-oriented stockwave collaboration to help bring this genre to the next stage in its development: early childhood.

to prepare, i provide these links as basic listening material:

"Very inspiring, wonderful, and motivating music" from MovieMusicMasters
"Happy Music Royalty Free" from royaltyfreetracks
"Soaring Spirit" from pinkzebramusic

RULES FOR TRACKS

all sounds [with exception below] used in your track(s) must come from freepublicmusic.com. obviously you can slice and dice the sound files you find on this site however you wish.

exception to above rule: you are permitted to use some sort of simple waveform samples to bring a chip-esque feel into the track. no strict rules here.. i think you know kind of what i mean.

RULES FOR FORMAT, ETC.

.wav is highly preferred! you can just send me a download link smile anytime before the release date (below) is fine!
------

stockwave tracks generally take very little time and effort to produce, so i am going to set the entry period for this compilation at ONE WEEK: from now to 11:59pm july 1st.

the release will be a free to download bandcamp release.

------

people, this will change lives- or at least make people feel awkwardly relaxed. post below or PM me to make known your intent to contribute! what do you say, little-scale? saskrotch it would make my life if you jumped on this as well.

Sounds like a fun project. I have two questions though. Can the songs be unpleasant (tonally), crappily composed and abrasive? Will a cover/booklet be designed using only stock images? If the answer to these questions are "yes", then I'm in.

i) sure. i would ask that you stay true to your style and at least make the track ironic wink
ii) yes. a stock image album cover is already in the works.

Stock BPM, stock key signature?

120bpm and C major, right?

ah i see- well, if you're asking
bpm 60-80 (this is not a requirement, but is considered the most relaxing bpm range)
key sig is up to you smile

you in, jeff? stockwave would be privileged to have you.

if the goal of the track is to uplift rather than relax, 120 is better than the 60-80 range i gave before!
kineticturtle, you should write a contribution! with a name like "Uplifting Forest" or something like that!
