Today's the day. I sent mine in. Did everyone else send in theirs?

Just a humble reminder for those planning to submit that it is now October 13th, and you have about two more months to submit your tracks to The Coop. Though, I wouldn't delay too long, as this year is flying by.

JESUS FUC-!
You can't just pop in here like that! You'll scare the children!

Might have to change my original plans to an original song. Can't really find the motivation to transcribe notes at the moment. Will update if other things happen.

So, I didn't start anything on my arrangement, and honestly I'm not that motivated by the source and idea at all.
However, some time ago I had a weird dream that was pretty inspiring for a totally different source and style that also happens to be VERY fitting with the usual christmas vibe.
It's the generic city theme from Illusion of Gaia, usually known as "Live City" and mostly linked to South Cape, the main protagonists' hometown. In genre terms the idea is to be some classic 70s rock in the style of Deep Purple, with heavy use of hammond organs and simple guitar riffs, but also some bells and more stuff. Including an ambiance intro with church bells, street noises and kids playing around (planning to record most of that myself during one of my walks out). A lot simpler and softer than my usual stuff, but still a vibe I'd love to try. Basically pretending to give that kind of nostalgic vibe commonly associated with our childhood playing with fellow kids and family members in the city during christmas times, this time without any grumpy stuff :)

So, if I understood it right, this is a parody VGM album without any specific theme, right? Or should it all be about fishes?
Either way, I'm strongly considering to use the parody aspect to try something with birbs again (for those unfamiliar, a silly vocal style emulating the sound of a chocobo humming melodies and screams and stuff). It's a long time since I did that, and I avoid doing because the prejudgements. But I see that fitting pretty well with what I understand about the concept of this album. So maybe... 👀

I'm probably semi useless outside of the Mega Man sources, but please count me in for team Mega Man

Please enter me as a Mega man
I have a rep to keep.
 
But I can fill in if the successors need it

. . .
Put me in coach.  IDM any team.

Either team is fine. If I change my mind, I'll post it here.

I'm game for either team!

Hiii I'm back after having a temporary break due to mental health... I should get started with it ngl... I'm actually trying to do this all by ear and I have a feeling it's not A4=440hz lol

Think we've got the front and back cover art / font for the album sorted now! <3
@ArikXu_Hugo How's your track coming along? :D

Also, the website is being worked on! HOORAY! \o/
Thank you again @colorado weeks, @tibonev & @gravitygauntlet for your hard work on it! :D
Also, the roster of people participating has grown! I will be updating the front-post very soon to reflect that and those who've turned theirs in already! 🧡🦇

I'm game, if you would permit me. ♥ I still have the file I was working on. x'D

Count me in !   Either team.

hello world 🤖
in these uncertain times, i think we need a little levity to get us through our day to day. we're all seriously serious about studying our craft within the context of VGM music; why not get a little silly with it? 
that's right baby, we're doing an unofficial OCR album for April Fools Day!!
 
Questions:
Q: Why "FishMas?"
Certain Francophone cultures, as well as Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands call April Fool's Day "April Fish." It's less of a mouthful than "An OverClocked April Fools Day."
Q: What can I FishMix?
A: Unlike our other seasonal contemporaries (AOCC, AOCH) you are only limited to VGM music for this album. as much as I would love to hear some more Gangnam Style electric kazoo 9-bit remixes, I gotta draw the line somewhere to keep it somewhat within the OCR umbrella.
FishMixes of other ReMixes are very welcome! Please submit your covers of a cover of a cover of a cover of "Hotel Dusk!"
Q: What can/can't I put in my FishMix?
Cooking up a FishMix, however silly,  still requires some care.
- Please keep FishMixes between thirty seconds and ten minutes. Multiple entries are allowed but are limited to 4 per arranger. You're welcome to collab on as many as you like, though!
- No hate speech/slurs targeted at particular groups or other individuals. It's poor form to punch down in comedy. 
- There's nothing funnier than 34518s, paulstretched PINGAS or some sensual liccing, but please no explicit depictions of sexual content or heavy violence. (Gunshots as percussion or an occasional sexy moan is fine and will certainly get a chuckle out of me.)
Other than that, anything goes!
Keep in mind that this is an Unofficial OCR album. You are not beholden to their (impossibly high) standards, but if you're interested in submitting your FishMix to OCR please consult with their Submission Standards and Instructions page.
Q: Can I submit previously written material?
Absolutely, as long as it hasn't appeared on a previous FishMas album in its current state! We welcome all DoD Alts, Oops All Shitposts entries, PRC/MnP/etc. compo entries, and auditory shitposts you torture your loved ones with as long as you're the one who wrote it.
Q: Can I submit entries made with GenAI song generators like Suno?
No, but you're welcome to make your own AI-pril 1st album somewhere else.
Q: What format should my submission be in?
WAV, 16 or 24bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz, peak -6dB pre-master. Please no limiters on the master bus to achieve this. Any deviation from this may result in your track not sounding how you'd like on release.
Q: How do I submit?
you can send your WAV file (or a link to the file) via email to a1@coloradoweeks.io or to @coloradoweeks through Discord. Please include info in the email body about your title, your artist name, and any other collaborators. Please keep your file names descriptive, it makes wrangling all of this much easier.
Q: What's the Deadline?
Deadline is March 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 EST.
Q: I want to participate, but nothing's biting. Can I get some inspiration?
Sure you can!
