Alright, so next up its spoopy season and we're gonna be doing a Halloween Comp. This comp is pretty open-ended. You can submit covers or originals. And really, it's up to you what makes a song work for the comp. Basically, if you think a song fits the theme, then it fits the theme. You are allowed 2 submissions, just call out any covers so we don't have duplicates. When emailing me your submissions, put in the subject that it’s for the Halloween comp. Then provide the information below (I would appreciate a copy/paste of this format). Chorus Name: Artist Name: Song name: Original artist name: Links: If your chorus name is what you want your artist name to be, just put that in there. I'm scattered brained so this formatting has actually helped me a lot with not screwing up information. Song taken: John Wayne Gacy Jr. - Sufjan Stevens They Are Night Zombies - Sufjan Stevens Halloween - Phoebe Bridgers Witches - Alice Phoebe Lou The due date is: Monday, October 25th Send songs to: appendixflushrecords@gmail.com If I missed anything here, just lemme know and I can update information.
I'll probably re-mix my "Great Pumpkin" song from a year or two ago and re-submit it for this comp, and then write or cover another song as well.
I can't read sheet music either. When in binds I'll try and find midi files of the music I need. You just drop them into a project and can either use virtual instruments or just use the midi track as a reference as it'll have the notes. I don't know if this is exactly what you were referring to, but I found this: The Haunting of Bly Manor Ending Theme You can get a free trial on the site and download it. Just remember to cancel. Ignore this if none of it is helpful. Edit: There's also this I found:
Think I'm doing John Wayne Gacy Jr. by Sufjan Stevens. Also, things have been a little crazy lately so I haven't been very active around here, but I saw some very kind words from a lot of you about my submissions for the originals comp, so thank you all very much for listening. And for those who said it was very Manchester Orchestra-esque, I couldn't agree more. They've been one of my favorite bands for a very long time now, and I totally stole their style for that song haha.
Is there a google sheets where we can put suggestions? This is my fav comp every year, wanna make sure we encourage others to contribute. I feel like people think halloween songs are limited to songs like Monster Mash lmao Heres a good playlist to start with
I was cooking up a spooky cover but my laptop died on me recently and it's being repaired. I had to ship it off, and I'm not sure when it will be ready (could be up to a few weeks). Hopefully I will have enough time to finish
Here's the cover art I made last year felt like it didn't get used to it's potential lmao I put so much time adding the oblivious meta Easter egg hahah I can do it again like a sequel that's better if you guys want
@uuu has volunteered to do artwork, buuuut, if he doesn't mind you're free to do it for this one. Just don't want to leave him out if he wanted to do it.
Just want to say I finished Bongs & Songs and now I'm trying to figure out how to upload the 45-minute 6 GB video from my phone, rip Prepare for being getting stoned as balls and being painfully socially awkward, place your bets now to guess which songs made me cry actual tears on camera
Hahaha can’t wait!!! And obviously “Bloody Nose” made you cry actual tears. Such a cute and pretty song.
