WATMM Christmas Album, 2012

Stay tuned for my Garageband-factory-sound-synths crunk instrumental.

And its counterpoint made with a Yamaha TX7 and Logic.

a warning - i'm off to Poland 2moro for a while so i'll be sending on my song later 2day...would have loved to do more work on it, but would miss the deadline

it's a Doo-wop christmas...not the most electronica song, but hopefully passes the mustard

Tentatively claiming Auld Lang Syne, but I have a few different ones in the works, so we'll see.

Just an update, I will be able to push the deadline back a couple days afterall, so if you need some more time, you'll get it.

yo - just dropboxed the track to "cytoplantastic [at] gmail [dot] com" hope its ok, tad' rushed - if i'm back home in time to re-send a tweeked version i might do (also as i said in the message - didnt have time to come up with a decent name, so hopefully will try to have one ready before the deadline)

oh how exciting.

Got the rough bits worked out on Wonderful Christmastime

Thank you!

I pushed the deadline back to Dec 5th. It shouldn't be much later than that, because we need to give Zephyr some time to master the files.

That's a great track TRiP! Thanks for your submission.

I hope to receive more.

woot woot. Just sent mine. I did last christmas by wham, and then realized someone did the same last year. BITCHES. The results could not be more different however. :D

Looking forward to your version! :)

Yours was like a codine trip. :) Mine's like a fruity drink and a buttplug. :D

Very excited to hear that!

Root5 will Gaarg be making the cover art again? I'm assuming you already have something in mind?

Gaarg said he's gonna give it a shot. He set up quite the hard act to follow last year though!

Three great tracks received so far. Let's get some more in, watmm!

I'm having a hell of a time getting the mix to one of mine right. Keep thinking I have it only to listen back a day later and realize it's all wrong. The composition and musical arrangement's been done for ages.

Also, it might be a bit late to mention this, but if people could avoid mastering their own tracks this time around that would make my job a lot easier. Don't worry, your track will be as loud and lush as the next one.

One of yours? I like the sound of that!

And yes, as with most comps that receive mastering, please avoid pre-mastering your tracks.

I'm putting the finishing touches on my cover of Jingle Bell Rock

I would love to have another go at this but my computer has died and my soundcard has melted, so it's not gonna happen this year :(

Aw, too bad.

Shit. I wanna do "My Favorite Things."

I'll try to make the deadline.

Could someone post a list of the songs that are already taken? I think I'll get started on mine tonight.

I think someone is already working on a version, but I am touching little drummer midget. Not sure if I can make the deadline though.

So far I've received tracks for:

Just a Lonely Christmas

The Last Christmas

Auld Lang Syne

I've also heard interest about:

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Little Drummer Boy

Greensleeves

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree

Carol of the Bells

Wonderful Christmastime

Jingle Bell Rock

My Favorite Things

There are still loads that haven't been mentioned this year, or even done last year. Good King Wenceslas, Must Be Santa, Away in a Manger, and anything from Handel's Messiah come to mind. But feel free to do anything, even if it's already done.

Since this is a 100% free release, sampling stuff shouldn't be a problem, right?

Zephyr Nova is doing 'Silent Night' and 'Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy'.
