It's time to vote for our next two festivals which will run from May 1 to June 30. Voting starts now and runs for 3 days. You can change your vote any time until the closing of the poll on May 1. To do so, click "Remove vote" to cancel your previous vote, then vote again.
This poll is for the "Theme/Genre" festival. There is a separate poll for the "Artists/Covers" festival here:
http://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=15073.0Please vote in both polls.
Here are descriptions of the less-obvious poll choices:
DIY Fest - Do it
yourself. No backing tracks, loops, midi, or any other kind of substitutes for a musical performance. You must play all of the instruments yourself. No collaborations. No drum machines. Use your imagination to create your rhythm track. Tap on a cardboard box, play a tambourine, bongos, etc. If you have a keyboard with drum sounds, you can play the drum track on your keyboard - but you must
play it - no programming/sequencers.
Summer songs - see
http://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7891.msg104172#msg104172DuetsFest - Record a duet with another Songcrafter. Or do a cover of a duet (Sonny & Cher, John Travolta/Olivia Newton John, etc.) If you have a BR-800 or some other device with vocal transformations, you can use that to do a duet with yourself (for example, sing one part normal and process another part to sound female).
ManjoleleFest - Song must feature mandolin, banjo, and/or ukulele.
No instruments - We haven't thought of a name for this one yet (any suggestions?). The idea is to record a song without any conventional musical instruments. Instead, use only kitchen utensils, rubber bands, comb & tissue paper, cardboard boxes, buckets, or any other household items to create the sounds for your song.
