I am currently working on a charity project with several different musicians for Child's Play. Child's Play provides video games and funding for treatment.

We are currently supported by:

n0rtygames - Creator of Chronoblast, a Top10 shooter on XBLIG (http://n0rtygames.com/)

Xona Games - three #1 games in Japan (XBLIG) (http://xona.com/games/ )

Adam Roach - (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGearsKeepTurning)

Officially by Child's Play - (http://www.childsplaycharity.org/)

Our list of supporters keeps growing, so make sure you keep looking back for updates!

Here is our current roster of musicians:

Our list of musicians keeps growing, so make sure you keep looking back for updates!

Right now I am currently recruiting other musicians to help me with this project. We are a non-profit organisation looking to help out charity with music. Once we officially start the campaign I will ask all of you to help me spread the word. If you are a musician and you would like to be a part of this project please let me know! We are allowing as many musicians as we can possibly get. This album is going to be MASSIVE!

The goal is to create video game style music. Every artist has total creative control. If you have any questions please ask!

I decided to hold this contest on OCRemix because I know there are so many talented artists that could help contribute to this cause. Send your finished works to john.montoya@ayotom.com. *Please only send SoundCloud or streaming links.*

The final day to submit work to me will be October 7th, 2013.

Good luck!

Thanks,

John Montoya

What is "video game style music?" I can't think of very many music styles that aren't represented in video games.

Good question. I originally posted this on Newgrounds and I was basing "video game style music" on this: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/browse/genre/video-game

Basically, you want to create repetitive music that doesn't sound repetitive.

Simply play one of your favorite video games and play your favorite track for an example. Fundamentally, you need to make a loop track with a built-in intro and outro.

Further detail about the loop, you can repeat it as many times as you need to so you can meet the time requirement of at least 2 minutes, but a minimum of one loop is preferred.

I'm afraid I don't understand the goal completely; it sounds like a compilation album, but you call it a competition. What are we competing for? What is the end game of the album project? I see a list of supporters, a list of musicians, and what kind of music you want, but the goals are unclear. Mind expounding a bit?

I'm definitely interested (though I'm also very much at the mercy of my schedule :P ), so any more info you can give about the actual project would be very useful

I would like to sincerely apologize for any confusion I have caused. This is indeed a compilation album. You guys are competing to be a part of this. We plan on selling this album on pledgemusic.com and donating all the money (except the money required for pledgemusic.com's fees) to Child's Play. The game company that is helping support this project is giving away limited copies of their game on XBLIG for a certain reward tier. This is like Kickstarter, but for charity. If for some reason we are not allowed to use Pledgemusic.com then I planned on having the organizer of the Open Bundle help me with a system considering he was able to successfully gather donations for his campaign.

How many positions are open?

We planned on making this a MASSIVE album so people will be willing to donate. Our goal is to have 30 artists (we currently have 9), but we're not sure many artists we'll be able to get. The person who organized the Open Bundle is contacting his musician friends to see if they'd like to join. Basically, we have a lot left. :P
