Root5 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 So let's do another Christmas album! The previous Christmas albums can be found here, here, and here. The rules are simple: 1. Remix/cover a Christmas song, or write an original Christmas song. 2. Email the song in lossless format (wav, aif, flac) to cytoplantastic [at] gmail [dot] com. The deadline is is DECEMBER 7TH! You can name your track anything you like, but keep in mind that a lot of previous tracks are puns based on the Christmas song's original title (for example: "Silent Nyeet" or "Dockin' around the Christmas Tree") or just the original name with a remix name tagged on the end (for example: "White Christmas (Dream'n'Doowop Mix) and "River (Melted Holly Mix)". Also, a lot of the previous tracks are light-hearted and silly, so this is a great opportunity to do something quick and fun. Of course some of the previous tracks are technical masterpieces, so you can do that too :P. I also ask that you avoid remixing "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Sleigh Ride", because we have loads of those already. But if you really want to, go for it. Last year I made a list of Christmas songs that had not yet been done, but I think WATMMers generally resent being told what to do, so I'll only do that this year if someone wants it. And as with other years, I'll publish every track sent to me. No judges. And the album will be under a creative commons attribution license.
PhylumZunami Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 time for some christmas breakcore EDIT: #gashcore
Guest Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Bored out of my mind I already made 2 fun ones this summer lol, will send them. Are they going to be mastered?
Root5 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) CHATMM's doing a second Halloween album at the moment, as far as I know. Maybe I should switch to Halloween next year, and CHATMM can do Christmas...The tracks will be mastered. I'll talk to Zephyr about it. If he's too busy, I'll do it, and try to match the levels of the previous Christmas albums. So far they're all the same level, so you can make a giant playlist and put it on shuffle.Some inspiration from last year:https://cytoplantastic.bandcamp.com/track/all-i-want-for-christmas-no-presents-mix Edited October 18, 2014 by Root5
hoggy Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I've been having fun improvising whistling made up English style hymns lately so maybe I'll do a made up carol
Guest Hanratty Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Can you give a list of songs that have not been done? Or just a list of christmas songs to get some inspiration?
Root5 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Can you give a list of songs that have not been done? Or just a list of christmas songs to get some inspiration? Great idea Hanratty! Here's some Christmas songs that have not yet been remixed: The twelve days of Christmas Santa baby Must be santa Good king Wenceslas Angels we have heard on high Jingle bell rock Ding dong merrily on high Noel Silver and Gold Silver bells We three kings of orient are Winter wonderland Any part of the nutcracker other than the dance of the sugar plum fairies If you can think of more, awesome! Here are some that have only been remixed once, and should be considered fair game: Coventry carol It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas O come all ye faithful O come, o come emmanuel Frosty the snowman Hark! the herald angels sing The snow angel Jingle bells Greensleeves Have yourself a merry little Christmas Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer Dance of the sugarplum fairies Just a lonely Christmas Let is snow Silent night Auld lang syne My favourite things God rest ye merry, gentlemen Away in a manger Rockin' around the Christmas tree River
Guest Hanratty Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Unless this has been done already, I'm going to break out the sample cds, dust off the Platinum Breakz and Omni Trio albums, and make "Jungle Bells".
Root5 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Unless this has been done already, I'm going to break out the sample cds, dust off the Platinum Breakz and Omni Trio albums, and make "Jungle Bells". Not done before. Awesome idea! Does anyone have the guts to try remixing XMAS_EVET10?
chim Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 "Jesus comes out at nyeet" some class audio in the past... will try to do something fun for this

Goiter Sanchez Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 It's gonna be really tight for me to get all the tracks I am working on done on time! Provided I actually complete my tracks I am interested in doing Ave Maria and a dadaist version of Gloria In Excelsis Deo.
QBLA Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I have some left over from last year that I can revisit. I'm down!

Root5 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 This thread should probably get stickied. For early exposure.
