Would any of you knob twidders be interested in making a Christmas Album?

[Root5]

Like, popular Christmas tunes redone in electronic music genres?

 

That way we could have a nice album to play every Christmas.

 

If other people are up for it, I'll totally do an IDM cover of Away in a Manger.

[springymajig]

Yes

[luke viia]

haha heck yeah i'd be down for something like this

[Guest]

Yes. I was going to make a Christmas comp (in a style similar to the V/VM ones) on my soon-to-exist label, but then I decided my label isn't worthy of the people I was going to invite to it.

so yes. I will be on the WATMM christmas album if you don't mind me being

[Root5]

In the spirit of Christmas I think everyone should be included if they want to.

[chassis]

Does it have to be IDM?

[Root5]

It could be any genre.

 

I imagine most people will want to make some electronic genre, like acid and drum n bass, but honestly anything would be fun. What did you have in mind?

 

Now I wanna do a gangster rap Christmas carol.

[ghOsty]

I could rock a dubstep Carol of the Bells or a semi-ambient White Christmas

[Cryptowen]

Hells yes son

[Guest]

I'm probably gonna go back to my roots on this one and make it noisy dadaist breakcore cut-up idm-hop

[Goiter Sanchez]

Yeah, I'd contribute a track/help with art for this!

[Zephyr_Nova]

Yes, I'd definitely contribute to a watmm Christmas album. Great idea!

[Guest Sprigg]

Brilliant idea. I'd be down for a dark ambient techno-ish carol of the bells.

[chim]

yep.

[Root5]

Okay awesome. There's loads of interest.

 

How does a December 10th deadline sound to everyone?

 

If that's alright, I'll make an official ekt thread about it.

 

Also, there are already 2 people who want to do carol of the bells. I'm going to go ahead and say that's totally fine. Certain carols deserve many interpretations.

[Zephyr_Nova]

That was the first one that came to my mind as well, but I'm thinking I want to do something more along the lines of a vocoder barbershop... possibly Silent Night. Yes, I do believe that is what I will do.
