the theme for a new tune contest is quite simple.
make an 80's synth-pop song.. it should be melodic and have a proper musical instruments that were used in that era, and also the production has to be apropriate (reverb is a neccesity here) =)

so there ya go, GooD LucK !

Hey

I just joined AGS and found these contests hoping it would encourage me to write more music (and possibly find a cool project), and I'd like to say that I'm very glad my first attempt will be 80s synth-pop. Thank you!

80s synth pop? Wulf, you so crazy!
I'm definitely getting in on this. I'll be at a Belgian beerfest so hopefully that will give me some inspiration. Can't wait to see what everybody else is doing.
BTW, welcome to the boards Jel. The contests are a ton of fun, and it's amazing home many talented artists there around hanging around here.

This is proving terribly difficult.
But I will pass my obstacles!

(it'll prolly sound more new wave than synth-pop by the way...)

Without the "80's" and teh "synth-pop", this would be bloody easy, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to make synth-pop :'(

Nope, same here, synth pop is out of my comfort zone

But I've finally set up my recording system, so I can participate once more!

Oh, I'm all about synth. Pop isn't exactly my forte though.

But then the contest would just be to make a "song."

As a big fan of 80's synth music I had to enter, though I ran out of ideas with the tune. I like how it sounds though so I'll probably extend it later.

I loved those TBish synths at the beginning in the last song! But I would argue on beats and that phat sound that sounds just too digital. You know, a little hissing sound (like on magnetic tapes) adds a lot to the track, just like in the 80's, you should try that!

the monk · « **Reply #15 on:** 21 Jun 2007, 07:39 »

i get your point on the beats

and the bass over the top is the phat sound i think you mean?

i will proberly re-edit at some point and re-up a new version if thats allowed?

Hammerite · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 Jun 2007, 10:03 »

My lack of professional equipment and my preference to the Cure and LATER Talk Talk will probably be among the shortcomings of my thing, but whatever.
