Weekly Contest: Dance Off!!!
I am very proud of what an international staff we have at Splice, and when I’m working out of my house in Chicago and not our office in Spain, I am always severely jealous of the weather reports I get from the team. I clearly remember a day in March when someone over there told me that there were people swimming in the ocean already, and I was amazed and jealous because we had at least several inches of snow here still. And with so many of our business contacts being in San Francisco, the weather from the other direction is usually warmer, too!
Chicago is finally thawing out, though, and the weather here has been phenomenal this week. The sun has been shining, there is a vase of fresh flowers from the garden on my desk, and there are rumors of a cicada invasion in just a couple of weeks. But the best part is the music! People everywhere are driving around with their windows down, blaring the radio, and the clubs are packed full of people who have been hibernating until now.
Summertime is when most people I know dust off their CD collection and start pulling out the happiest party music and really get down. It seems like a good time to do this at Splice, too, so this week, the contest is dedicated to summertime dances and happy times. You guys as a whole have improved drastically at making songs since last summer, so let’s put those skills to work and make some feel-good songs that are great for the summer.
The rules are very simple this time:
1. Create a dance song in Splice. It doesn’t have to be any special kind of dance - just whatever gets your feet moving!
2. Tag your song with DANCEOFF to be automatically entered to win.
Entries will be judged based off their grooviness factor and how hard it is to sit still while listening. Submit yours by Sunday night, May 13th, Midnight CST.
Remember - DO NOT use copyrighted music in your songs, or they will be automatically disqualified and the offending samples deleted!
