YES! Everyone do this. It's for a great cause.

So what exactly is "New Music?" Does it stand for something, or does it mean 'music that is new?'

"New Music" refers specifically to newer classical music, sometimes referred to as art music.

Would you accept a song like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o26SlmROH5Q)? Or a bad? Orchestra-backed acoustic pop? Metal? Rap? Surely there's some restriction on the genre, or the language content, such as profanity. I'm just asking, I wasn't planning on using profanity or making rap. It's something people should know before starting if there's some kind of limitation on F-bomb racist gangster rap and such.

I'm not sure if it's entirely clear, so I'll clear it up here - I'm not looking for submissions of original material until AFTER you've been accepted on the project. This should dodge the issues you've mentioned.

But for the record, it's a PG album, and we're not interested in hardcore-rap, but pop/rap/r&b is certainly open to be included.

Ah ok, thanks.

Or a bad?

What the hell was I saying? I don't even know. Ballad maybe? I gotta start paying more attention to what I'm typing.

until AFTER you've been accepted

And to be accepted, one would just need the demo, the bio, and the photo? Are you thinking I won't be accepted? I could try to photoshop the photo heavily to get it up to your standards of quality (and to remove the hideousness as much as possible), and a decent bio could be written. :-D

I don't want to wait until September / February. :-(

There is a new application page here:

So from the example you posted, you looking for stuff that's more avant-garde, like Steve Reich and John Cage, right? Or would you accept something more traditional like a string quartet?

[Brandon Strader]

They would accept somethin' like THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcqp1PYxVPw)?! That's new music rite

Any and all of what you've described fits. (:

[Xenon Odyssey]

Then you can expect an application from me!

[halc]

i've submitted my application. I'd love to do a remix for this :)

[Josh Whelchel]

I'm still looking for REMIXERS for this album, please apply within!

[Abadoss]

Alrighty Josh. I'm in.

[prophetik music]

josh, i'm in, right?

[Brandon Strader]

You need to make a list of who's in or else we're going to ask if we're in. Am I in? xD

[Xenon Odyssey]

Since the extension of the deadline has passed, what's a good timeframe before we hear back?

[Cyril the Wolf]

And I stupidly missed the extended deadline.

Genius, I be.

Oh well, I expect great things from those who are making this a reality, and I am totally buying all three albums. :D

[Palpable]

Wow, I never saw this thread, unfortunately. Is it too late to do a sign up, Josh? If you do more artists for the mainstream category, Flickerfall would love to volunteer.
