[IMPORTANT: THE GAMES BEGIN ON TUESDAY 17. PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND THE GROUP CALL LISTED ON THE CALENDAR AS WE WILL BE EXPLAINING IN MORE DETAIL THE RULES] I'm happy to announce the teams for the first edition of the CIRLE OF SOUND community music production game suggested by @Aretius Klosa. The point of this game is to make a bunch of music as a community through an unusual collaboration procedure. The production process will be split into 5 stages; 1. Creating a soundpack (select no less than 10 sounds and no more than 30 sounds. These can be one shots, loops, musical loops, held synth note... etc. 2. Using the soundpack to come up with a 32 bar idea. Only use sounds you have received. Feel free to chop/reverse/pitch or whatever you need to do but only use the sound pack to create the idea. 3. Creating a full track arrangment from the 32 bar idea 4. Mixing the arranged song 5. Mastering the mixdown Every member of every group will do every stage at the same time. Every 2 weeks, you will export the audio stems of what you have created and pass it to the person below you on the list at the bottom of this post. IMPORTANT: EVERY STEP WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RENDER WHAT YOU HAVE TO AUDIO STEMS. THIS ENSURES CROSS DAW COMPATIBILITY. This cycle will progress for 10 weeks. Every 2 weeks everyone moves onto the next production stage using what they have been sent. So for example this means that during weeks 1 + 2, everyone will be tasked with creating a soundpack. In weeks 3 + 4, everyone will now be tasked with creating a 32 bar idea made with the soundpack passed to them by the team mate above them on the below list. In weeks 5 + 6, everyone will create an arrangement with the 32 bar idea they received from the team mate above them on the list... And so on. By the end of the 10-weeks, every member will have completed every one of the 5 stages and each group will have 3 finished songs. We will be holding a group Zoom call every 2 weeks so you can meet with your team mates in small breakout rooms and discuss how the process is going.

Doh! Doofus here forgot to hit record on the interview with Rick Wade 🤦🏼‍♂️ I thought that it would automatically go live and start recording once the event countdown ended! Lesson learned. To anyone who didn’t make it - sorry!

If your artist name isn't what you go by day to day, how did it come about, was there a reason for it, and/or have you had a previous name and changed it? I used to go by DJ Bae which makes me laugh because it started as kind of a joke and then people would just call me that instead of Sarah. Even today, some OG people will call me that. However, I had to change it because it sounds like I spin hip hop which was confusing. My current name Gaile is my middle name.
