World Music
It's a new month and time for a new contest! The theme this month is to create a track celebrating "World Music". As the globe has continued to shrink over the past few years, and cultural exchange is happening with ever increasing frequency, so too has the definition of "World Music" been changing.
The contest this month is to create a track fitting whatever your new definition of "World Music" is. Is it borrowing with pride some musical conventions from a musical culture which isn't the one in which your music is usually based and adapting that to your own style? Or is it outright full-scale appropriation of every aspect of a culture foreign to your own?
I don't judge!
______________________________________
Submissions MUST follow these rules:
1 - Encoded in either .mp3 or .ogg format.
2 - No time limit on your track this month as long as it fits your definition of world music!
3 - entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK (note: THIS MEANS A DOWNLOAD LINK) in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only! They are not a hosting service. When contacting these people, please take the effort to understand the terms and conditions they provide.

In addition...
http://www.kara-moon.com/forum has offered "self service" space. Log into the forum to find out more.
4 - Submitted by early a.m. (US Central Time) Tuesday, March 27, 2018.
5 - Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest (or, if a cover, arranged/recorded specifically for this contest).
6 - Your entry must be created with audio plugins or software studio.
7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1803_AllRoundTheWorld_WhereAmI.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.
8 - If you are going to tag your mp3--and you should--the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune.
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.
10 - Every submission has to be tagged with:
a) used instruments (virtual and 'real')
b) players' and singers' names (if other than entrant; collabs are allowed, sometimes encouraged, but they must be credited)
c) origin of loops and samples, if they're not free of copyright (this includes CreativeCommons material; please read and follow the license of the samples and loops you use); naming the origin of copyright free loops is also encouraged, but not mandatory. Please only use samples you are legally entitled to use.
d) name(s) of composer(s) -- if an entry is a cover this should be noted in the file name and/or the mp3 "Title" tag as well as the submission post (not everyone reads the submission posts).
11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.
12 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. Please PM me for permission.
13 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
14 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until early a.m Sunday, May 1st. Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.
If you have questions, send a private message to drapostrophex (that's me, Victor!) or ask in the gossip thread.

Suppose I'd best enter this now since it was my daft idea.
I wouldn't be the first Lancastrian to try and crowbar in a bit of (cough) eastern mysticism (that's India, not Hull or Scarborough) to a pop song - I believe some chaps from Liverpool were rather keen on it in the 60s.
http://www.bennyleeds7.myfreeola.uk/02- ... lution.mp3
Much stuff and nonsense going on...
Epiphone acoustic
Variax Standard Electric (in Les Paul ripoff mode)
Kontakt patch of electric sitar I made from the Variax model
NI India Tablas
NI India Ghatam - It's some kind of pot (no, not that..) thing
NI India tambourine drone - all the way through, if you're going to do it....
Amplesound 12 string acoustic
Acoustic Samples Sunbird acoustic
Amplesound Telecaster
Evolution Rick 12
Mandolin from satantank 2
Reverse crash cymbal from teh frootyloops
Kick drum from Steven Slate Drums
Tambourine samples
Sonivox Orchestral Companion Strings
FL Sytrus 'asian string' patch
Kontakt patch I made of some clapping
Vocals through various droney type harmonizers
That's a lot of shite....
