Call for Submissions: Tribute to the Large Hadron Collider

[Fred McGriff]

hello and good day to you, fellow music makers. as you may already know, the Large Hadron Collider has been crowned the Most IDM Thing in 2010 according to the 4th annual bracketology held in general banter. It is customary to create a tribute of some sort to the champion. you might recall the recent Antarctica tribute album organized by Brandi B, and, in previous years, the black holes and deep sea creatures tributes on futonic records. I would like to continue this tradition by hosting a tribute to the Large Hadron Collider as a net release on Futonic Records.

 

to participate, please create a track inspired by the Large Hadron Collider, pictured here:

 

 

submit the track via PM to me, or to freshmouse at gmail dot com. the submission deadline will be May 31st, 2010. That's about it. The best tracks will be on the comp. most of you probably already know the drill. we're going to try to keep this simple and smooth now that we all have plenty of experience doing it. Any questions?

 

Thanks

Fred

I'm on it!

Nice, I'll try to submit a track way better than last year (which was a shame imo). My production skills have improved and I feel confident for this year's tribute.

It's time to compose furiously for 2 months.

Hopefully Gerald Donald will participate.

[Guest theSun]

[Squee]

I'll get right on it

[Cryptowen]

I will make the best song about giant underground European space tunnels ever.

[Root5]

I got a question.

 

I'm assuming you'll only pick one track per composer, but what about collaborative efforts? What if I submit a track I made myself, but also a track I made in collaboration with someone?

[Salvatorin]

I have begun.

Hopefully Gerald Donald will participate.

[Fred McGriff]

[Guest hahathhat]

i have to admit, it's easier to do a LHC track than it would be to do a cthulhu mandlebulb track. we'll see if i have the attention span to do this

[Guest Glass Plate]

[Squee]

i'll have a crack at it. no guitars for me on this one - lhc doesn't seem to be able to coexist with guitars...

[Root5]

how many ambient tracks will be the cutoff? not that I'm considering doing an ambient track for this, just wondering.

 

I think they usually pick the tracks based on how well they make a cohesive album with the other tracks. So technically if there were a lot of ambient tracks submitted that worked well together, it wouldn't be a problem.

 

But, given the topic, I would be very surprised if this turned into an ambient album.
