So what is everyone up for next (this) month?

We could do another free for all. It's either that or "Re-imagine Ska for the Future". What do you think?

I think I could do either ska or free for all. A ska song would be fun. I’d have to make some good guitar patches and horns (though I guess synth brass should suffice).
Free for all would be fun. But let’s see what options I have
1. Cover Challenge: you must cover a song of your choice.
2. Jazz: try to do a jazz track.
3. Ska: like above reimagine ska for the future.
4. Video Game Track: either a cover of one, or one for your own made up one.
5. Polka/Circus Music: should be fun.
6. Latino Music: should be fun too. Maybe salsa or Tejano?
7. Do a song from a foreign country (would be covers or originals in another language).
8. Do a song influenced by a certain decade like 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, etc.
9. Reggae: trying to do this would be nice.
10. Bollywood style track.
What do you think about these?

Cool theme suggestions for months to come.
This next month I guess a FFA would be fine, imo we need to make it easy for lazy, hesitant entrants

Yeah... I don't want to go too high concept, or get too far up into music theory. FFA always seems like a failure on my part to come up with a theme, but I think it's good to level-set every few months to get more people into the contest, to show off their latest tricks.

And HUGE thanks to Music Bird for those excellent contest ideas! I am going to stea-- I mean, borrow with pride from that list over the next few months, with your permission of course!

The video game covers/original soundtrack idea sounds aces to me. (All Ska sounds like polka/circus music to me, to be honest, though I know it's not

).

FFA is fine. However, for the sake of starting the creativity process, I prefer when a direction is hinted at, a concept which can be interpreted in many ways, as Science was. A musical genre is interesting, too, but could be frightening to many people.

@DrApostropheX
Be free to borrow. I'll always have good ideas!

Too easy - I could just tape my contact mic to my living room floor at 3am on a Saturday morning and press record for 3 minutes.

How about a collaboration? Maybe not.
What about a cover shortlist?
A certain chord progression?
A cover in a different style.
FFA sounds good.

Collaboration ? Given the current number of entries, seems quite... fearless to me.

It's Spring. That's a theme. Birds and Bees are boning down all day long. Sigh...
60's/70's funkadelic vibes in the air....

I am so tempted to make the theme "Free For All - Endless Boning" now. Don't tempt me..

An armed drone will be heading straight for your studio.
